There were 3 specs I was considerring, Supercharged/Turbo motor, N20 Motor, All motor Motor.. Thats why I narrowed it down to these 2 motors since they cover all 3 specs..


Was thinking the same thing untill I got qouted the price for building a shortblock! I built my V6 motor to the specs I wanted it to be at and did everything up the way I wanted it and it cost over 5000.00 to build that longblock. I would be looking at 3600 to just build up the short block with forged rods and pistons on a stock crank. Thats not including headwork or full assembly. I could buy a forged shortblock from a company like SLP or Texas speed but they run in the mid 4000.00 range not including oil pumps and timing chains and what not.

I would be happy with probably just heads and cam on my car and make 420rwhp but my motor has 94,000 miles on it. I would want to freshen up the bottom end of the motor since I would have it torn down pretty far anyways and what not. If I were to do that then why not just put a bigger and stronger motor in there for about the same price if not less?
