Who all have tales/tribulations about buying a nice motor?
Any reccomendations on places to look into? Im not interested in an off-the-shelf TIV, but a nicely built motor with some fire... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I have been looking for somthing from outside CA if possible.....fuck the government, I dont wanna give them any of my tax $$...! "justveedubs.com" seems like they might have something in store for me...any horror stories or better reccomendations? a bit of customization to their "2700cc TIV" might do the trick nicely.....mebbe "101.5" instead of those 104's though... woah.... (IMG:http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b180/Bezerker420/DSC02904resize.jpg) NOTICE: Sorry Jake, I LOVE your works there, but untill furthur notice I cant quite afford your motors..... [I know you are working for the high-end market, filling that price-point.....but do you have any inclination to offer a high-tech but slightly more budget minded engine option? IE. carbourated? that would knock off like 5K no?] -JD |

That is my plan, have a 2.0 motor lined up that actually runs and has good compression, and after I get the car together(painted, replace all the rubber parts) I will build a bench to put it together on, save up and buy one of Mr. Raby's kits. Then I pull the drivetrain, put in hard fuel lines, do any work on the tranny that needs done and voila, 2 year plan complete: Then each hp only is toting 15 lbs instead of 24 and I have a mid-engine car with a better power to weight ratio than my integra, which is a very fast car, saddled with the engine at the wrong end, driving the wrong wheels.
