i remember reading on here that some motor building company sells the 350 short block assembled with hyperuetectic flat top pistons for around $700......i did a search, but i couldnt find there name....

i called them a month or so ago, and talked to them, but i cant remember who the heck they are, or there phone number or name

Opena chevy High performance mag, and look at the first few pages. There is a company that advertises on the first couple pages of every issue. They sell a shortblock for like 600 and some change. I think the call it an esky short block. Never used one, never seen one in person, so I cant say anything about the quality.

 

bumpin this one to the top..... i just know several have got a decent short block for less.....

Did you check out what I posted above? It is exactly in your price range.

 

I checked through my latest issue, nothing..

 

the only issue i have is an old one......and i didnt see anything in there...



-bigarmzz-

 

am going tomorrow to get the latest issue of chevy hight performance

anyone can advertise in a magazine....i was hoping someone on here actually had experience from a place like this...or know of someone that bought an engine from somewhere.....ya know...

thanks


-bigarmzz-

 

i just bought an issue of "super chevy"....man all they got in there is restoration adds.....


i went to some web site and got a years subscription to chevy high performance magazine for $10


-bigarmzz-

 

Perhaps it was Hye Tech Performance? They had a shortblock (maybe have been unassembled) for somewhere around that price range... Don't think they have a webpage though...

 

I am pretty sure it was me that posted that-www.competitionproducts.com they dont show anything on there website about the engines but you have to call them for info. the only thing i didn't like about considering buying an engine from them was that the didn't have an engine that was bored .30 over or less everything was bored way over. If u dont mind that then its fine. Also i found out they don't build there own engines they come from some other manafacture and they distrubite them. It is $697 for th l98 short block with hypercautic pistons 9:1 compression or u can buy a 383 shortblock for $1100 with 11:1 compression.

holy sh*t! that was them!...i talked to them, and they gave me the number of the place that makes the motors for them, and i talked to that guy there,,.seemed to know his stuff.....i forget where it was, but i'll call comp products and find out tomorrow....

thanks bryan

let me now what happens and if u get a motor from them i want to know if u think it.
by the way no problem

$1100 for a 383 shortblock sounds sweet. I might check them out, but isn't 11:1 compression pretty high for a 383?

thats probably with 64cc heads though.....it'd be more streetable with maybe 76cc heads



-bigarmzz-

 

A lot of guys are running 11:1 on pump gas with iron heads. But it takes tuning and a modest advance curve. With aluminum heads though, it isnt a problem.

 

here is one off ebay from city motor supply in Dallas TX http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

 

those two engines are both 1 piece seal thats what i like about cause i could get it to pass emissions.

 

i bought my L98 short block from www.Unitedengine.com


cost was 650$... the one thing they did screw up on was, they installed a flat tappet cam in a roller block. also the pistons were flat tops. but i wont complain about the pistons cause it helped raise the compression. (flat tops with 4 valve reliefs)

good engine.. bored .030 over.. good price too.

its best to call them rather than deal over the net..

 

good news to all thats interested in this the same as i am...

talked to competition products....the company that makes there engines is "esky" (sp?)....

they do make an assembled short block, which you can request a .30 over block,....for $$699...a 4 bolt main is a $100 more...

it has the flat top hyperuetectics, recond rods, and reground crank....

seems like an ok deal.

esky's number for anyone that would be interested is

906 786 6223 talk to "Tim"...he seems to know his stuff

i hope this thread and this info helps someone

thanks to all

-bigarmzz-

 

It does help, thanks for the info guys.

hey guys, this place sells some might cool stuff very cheap and higly recoomended by a buddy that lives near me and his dad who owns a shop called Hunt Automotive and Muffler.

http://theenginestore.com/


They are the people i'm buying my heads from. $399 shipped, and 200cc intake runners, 2.02 intake valve, and 1.6 exhaust valves. 64cc also, so my block will be mighty strong. Tim(the owner of hunt automotive) recoomends them to everyone and down here at Gateway(the local drag strip) he runs guys using cars he's tuned with these heads running high 10's low 11's, so..... good enough for me.


And iunno about the block yet.... But if i can get ahold of them to see what they can give me a block with the setup i require for i'll tlel ya but if you guys got more time chekc it up, but everytime i have called today i get voicemail.

talked to a guy 5 minutes ago and as long as he gets the core returned a rotation shortblock rully machined and everything is $579. Holy crap, if there is no core back its an extra $200, but woooo hooo!!!!!!!!

 

the guy you talked to was at the enginestore?...

b/c the guy at esky said there wasnt a core charge
