Engine builder?

[Dylan951]

Just curious if anyone knows a engine builder who specializes in our engine? Or would buying a Mountune mrx short block be a good option? I
mean it’s fully built and blue printed and has the CSS. If there is a better option I would love to here it.

If you want to go all out, do CSS then sleeve it too. Indestructible. Ish

Is that CSS website legit? I live pretty close to them. If there is a $500 mod to our engine blocks that will hold 700+ whp, why aren't people talking about it? I realize there is more to it but still!

They are legit* But then you need all the accommodating stuff to make it all worthwhile* So why not just go with Mountune?

Mostly because no one wants to strip their engine down to the block to send them I’m sure.

That's 8,800 plus another 1,400 for a lightweight crankshaft. I have to believe that the components and a reputable builder would cost significantly less than that.

Also, anyone have a line on a spare block? I'll send one in and see what I get back.

I gotta complete refresh quote for my Typhoon recently it was almost 6k* I got a quote a couple years ago it was 4k . Things go up overtime. Mountune is a decent Builder though vs some fly by night place. Alot of Builders went belly up during the last recession. Aren't many reputable ones left.

This is what I'd do. Short block, reuse everything else from existing engine + ARP head studs.

You can probably find one cheap AF from a wrecked escape or fusion in a junkyard.

Yeah that's more the angle I was thinking. A few hundred for a short block then drop off at CSS. Right around $1k for the knowledge/learning experience and then build it up from there. I'm going to be pushing nearly 400whp on my car in a few weeks, regularly at the track. Engine will go eventually.

No doubt, only a matter of time before it either lifts the head or melts a piston. If you're running the stock trans you'll probably blow that first though lol

I have yet to see any single person on a mountune engine make more than the OEM one does before it blows up lol.

People are still trying to figure out how to keep these engines together.
