New Short Block

[Trogdor]

I have money that I was saving to pay off my lease when it came due. The plan was to mod the crap out of it then once I owned it. That plan is kind of out the window now.

It's going to be about 7.5k to do a new stock engine from mitsu, out of my pocket. So, at that rate, I might as well get what I want. I plan to take the money I was saving to pay for this new motor, then just take out a short 2 year loan on the buy out. I'm not real concerned about what I should do/not do with my lease at this point. I'm really just looking for advice on the best way to get what I want, regardless of whether you agree with my financial strategy.

In that case, MAP Stage 1 shortblock.

What kind of HP do you want eventually?

[Goat Blower]

Built motor from MAP.

Looking to be around 400-450 at most. Nothing ridiculous.

MAP stage 1 then (stock sleeves) as I said before :) You could probably get away with some H beams even to save cost. Maybe just do some manley h beams and manley pistons.

hell at that power you could honestly do a stock motor lol. And you'd prolly have less issues with everything (tuning easier, assembly from mits), but a built block, do stage 1.

Yes that, but email/call/stop by MAP for best pricing.
