I'm waiting on an answer with the list of internals

Thats how much a Motor should be.....

THIS COULD BE JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR......... ???

 

 

I think your gonna need it after this weekend with the combo your thinking about trying...

 

 

took the words right outta my mouth.

Wait til gator get in here. . .

But question rob what exactly does this offer over our present tuners offers for long blocks? They say machined cams but are they performance cams or what?

 

What I'm hoping it offers is their normal complete LONG BLOCK, modified with the H-Beam Rods for under 5K
WITH A 3 YEAR NATIONWIDE WRRNTY

Don't know of any tuners offering that, DO YOU ???

And although I plan on coming home in one piece SATURDAY
I AM CHECKING MY OPTIONS JUST IN CASE

 

check the details of that warrenty. Theres no way that someone will warrenty you if you toss a rod because you ran lean. I think for the most part our tuners will stand behind their product to hold together as long as the tune is right. As for how long, i don't know at which point they determine its on you and not on them. nice to have other options tho.

 

running lean doesn't break rods, detonation does.

 

Under 5K

 

i built my own long block with ported heads and cams for less than 4k

 

I'll prob be writting you Sunday

 

guess what the most common path to detonation is?

 

Please don't read into this wrong,
All I'm saying here, is I found a place to get complete Lightning
Rebuilt Motors that offer a 3yr Nationwide Wrrnty (yes I'm sure there's plenty of fine print) for what I consider a very reasonable
price. If the 99's have the original stronger crank, already it's a great deal (waiting to find out for sure)

"IF" they're willing to rebuilt some with H-Beams for a reasonable
addition, I think there are some great possibility's for a guy like me that would love a 100% stock Motor with stronger Rods for a fair and much more do-able price.

As a complete longblock, it clearly would give me the option (IF I EVER NEED IT) of doing an engine swap without having to deal with the assy (which I feel is over my head, no experience w/Mod Motors)

I AM NOT comparing it's strength or quality to nothing,
just a possible great deal and an option that MIGHT be interesting ???

 

 

aint no fun when you just play it cool gator.
