Unless you have experience building blocks, or extremely pateint w/ tools + time + ability then build it yourself, or you can just have it done at Buschur/AMS/Jam, which all have great reputations.

Where not talking about why go with it if you read what the other guy was say about the AMS 2.3RR I just told him its out already and gave him the link.


Second i said to buy a built block and have the peice of mind. If you read my first reply.

Built blocks last as long as you want it to last. Driving daily around the streets and beating on it from time to time it will last you a very long time. If you race track or strip you killing the life of the block stress takes over and they give out.

Anyone that drag races will tell you some blocks last a season of raceing some last a few passes its how hard you push your car.

If you going to stick with a 2.0 liter just have it built because you are still using your stock crank and block and replacing everything else. But if your going to go bigger then a 2.0 just order one.

What about a 2.3L stroker with a twin scroll 35R? I'm almost certain that this combo will have close to stock spool up time. In my opinion this will be the ultimate combo. 650whp plus near stock spool up time.
