Got some money together and want to get a new motor built. I have $2500 to spend, maybe a little more. I want something streetable, around maybe 350/400 hp. Trying to stick to no power adders/nitrous and it will be daily driven. Is this shortblock/longblock possible with this price at a machin shop or should i go with mail order. i live in sj
thnx

For a new motor you will have to dig a little deeper ,$2500 is not much to work with. I would think that a new N/A 350+hp motor would set you back a minimum of $6,000 to $7,000 .

now with a little more power it goes 135mph+ on 18" DRs
