Very exciting following this build as I’ve been following SP63 on Facebook and their builds look great for the RS. I hope yours turns out well. Is the price paid for a full turn key long block, or do you have to transfer over accessories and everything else?

I hope it turns out well also (for obvious reasons).

I'll have to transfer over the accessories (alternator, HPFP, Injectors, manifolds, etc.), but I plan to just do a side by side transfer with them both on the bench. (also got all new manifold gaskets, hardware, etc.)

If this all goes well, I'll probably have them give me a quote for rebuilding my stock engine with the same specs/mods to have as a spare. Already have a spare transmission to have Clarke build, so its likely I could end up with a spare built engine and transmission, so I'd probably just get a clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, and slave cylinder slap them together and have a spare unit to just hot swap if/when I need to. But that's all just prospective at this point.

Keep us posted as you have been doing. They’re also only like 6 hours from me so it’s nice to have options within driving distance

One of the very few (if not only?) shops/vendors dealing with our rides which is only about an hour or so from me, but except for the timing belt/water pump/etc. maintenance work, or a factory engine or turbo swap (if ever needed) I most likely will never be able to take advantage of their nuke proof long block expertise. [:(]
