Built Engines ready to ship

Yea I know it is not advised but I would rather risk ruining a $1500 stock short block than spending $10,000 on a built short block I would never take advantage of. I've been just shy of 700 wheel horse almost the entire 2014 year with zero issues. Although I do run at big single. My power doesn't come on till 2700+ rpm.
For 650-700 horse, I wouldn't even consider a built motor until I was picking up broken engine parts off the road.
this is what im going to do. s475 over stock, 40% injectors dual pumps and somewhat of a conservative tune and start the rod bending process
Mine didn't hold, blew up in 9 days with 60's and DP VGT72 on a single stock pump

In a jealous, envious way

I agree with Mike 100%. I wouldn't waste money on a built motor for 650-700hp. I ran compounds on my LMM for quite awhile before any issues. You can r&r stockers 3 times before you get the cost of a built motor. Also just because your motor is built does not mean you are not going to have any problems. High horsepower trucks are not immune to failure. If you have plenty of money build it.
and i agree with you. lots of power can bring lots of other drivetrain problems that you dont think of until stuff starts to break.

I said the same thing...the rod being part anyways. It never happened and my truck is still going strong a year later :spit:
i dont know if im going to be as lucky with the twins. your definantely have a advantage with the power not coming in until the upper rpms
I ran s366 billet /s480 billet with 80% sticks held great. Have a good tuner keep your torque down and dont overspin the motor. Stock sticks stock fuel will last quite awhile.
Not really tuning plays a huge part, but I would give it a slight edge. You have to ask yourself if you want to drive something thats a dog under 2500+ rpms.
I wonder how this has worked for atp trucks. It's a great idea and so practical to keep in stock because it seems motor builds keep trucks down for a while.
Its been working very well! its nice to be able to get someone an engine very very quick to get the truck back on the road vs having to wait 8-12 weeks to have one built.
Please PM me a price on a short-block good for the occasional 800-900hp usage, 500hp DD mainly. :thumb:
What's the options and prices on something that's a good replacement over stock. I bought one of my old trucks back and has one or more cracked pistons.
