New Engine

The motor, even in shortblock form, isnt that good. For $1900 you can have align hone, internal balancing, better rods bolts and good pistons. Not stock replacement stuff. The place I use has a 1yr warranty on complete engines, when it's built with their parts..regardless of useage or milage. Knowledge is the key. I alway like to be heavily involved in my engines, so I'd be looking for a local shop with a good reputation, new equipment, and isnt afraid of mopars.

For my own info, I used the link. I will say this, for a mass rebuilder, they say they do some good steps. But, the parts are sub par IMO. I'm not sure if they reuse rocker shafts, they dont say. They also dont replace rod bolts, or re-seize rods..They say they "hone" them..That's making sure the big end is round..not refinishing a rod. The engine is not balanced..It's what ever it is when it's done. Badger pistons are cheap, and heavy, and dont allow for decent compression(even advertised in the case of a HP version) in any form. The timing set is a plain stock unit..not even a double, nevermind double roller. It is assembled, but not blueprinted. So, it's ok. I wouldnt spend $1600 on it, I'd spend the $1900 and get decent parts, and the job done to my expectations..Which are higher than most "industry standards" that they seem to be touting. Just my $.02. At least they use a Serdi on the heads, even if it's only 3 angle.
