Cost 13,000.

Oh tHanKzzZ for the Advise :thumbup:
but what i want is only the short block . . . i got other plans for the intake and exhaust setup And i wanna built (or choose the parts i want and ask someone to built for me) a unique engine by myself like this i will know the engine better and have more pride in it

I believe what IB have better den mine built up for the short block is the resleeved and balance i do not wanna up bore the cylinder is because it cost extra few hundred bucks to upbore and resleeve it by 2 mm or even .5 mm which increase the displacment by less den 0.15 liter . . . i find it not very worth it and for the balancing . . . i believe that i can request it to be balance when i order it correct ? ? ? ? ?

Anyway thanKzZ for those advice i will find out more and make better decision :thumbup: :fawk: :thumbup:

Forget Crower cams. Forget the Ultra Light stuff, too.

Pick up a set of Crower Econobillet rods. They're about 100 grams lighter than stock.

Balancing is not something that happes before you order it.

It is possible to do the stuff yourself. However, judging by the amount you know about engines, I would suggest a long long time period of learning the basics before attempting anything close to this.

Get a Helms manual.


Oh, and don't even think about porting it yourself.
