Someone please inform me what the insider news is, I own forcefed and didnt realize there was any secret I was hiding.
The motor thats going in Jasons car I purchased as a complete swap from canada.
Its a full sr16 longblock/trans.
I took the trans off and sold to Tuned. Steve, one of my employees who the motor was for stopped doing the project and the motor was completed 2-3 weeks later at the machine shop.
The motor was picked up last week from the machine shop still wrapped in plastic.
The short block has the following:
Wiseco 86.5 9.5:1 pistons with upgraded tool steel wrist pins
Manley H Beam rods with arp 2000 bolts
Calico HX coated bearings throughout
DE 8cw crank, balanced and polished
DE Girdle
Mazworx head and main studs
Attached are the pictures below.
It is none of my business to spout jasons personal business or his bill with us.
Jason purchased the complete built short block, wrapped in plastic from steve through me for 1500.
The machine work on the motor at my cost was 950. It got everything, bore, hone, full balancing, polished crank, hand filed fit rings, full assembly, line honed yada yada.
We took a beating on this motor as if you add up the parts plus the cost of the motor and all the non VE parts into it. We gave it away.
