I'm thinking of having chp build a production block 347 afr185 long block capable of 14+psi of boost for me..Do you have any feedback in regards of performance,longivity,reliability and
cost effective? I have roughly about 5-6 k to spend and determined to buy from coast high since i work literally about a 1/2 mile from them plus they told me i eligable for a discount
since other employees at my work has bought from them and built good relationships..blah blah
How do you feel about coast high? ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

If you have 5-6k to spend, why not go with an aftermarket block, 14psi + 347 + Stock Block would have me scared.
Personally I would go with an aftermarket short block with forgered internals, let them build that or have a local shop do it for you and piece together some used heads, intake, etc.

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?

Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

A former co worker had an engine from them that was shit. I have had short block kits and had someone else do the assembly with no problems.

I bought my 331 kit (nothing special, anyone could put the kit together) from them, but their customer service sucks. I will never use them again for that reason. Too many lies and delays.

Do yourself a big favor and buy local. I had a bad experience w/ a mail order engine and will never make that mistake again. There are local shops that will build a long block for the same price . And if there is a problem you will not have to remove the motor , ship it and wait months to get it back.I had to do that three times w/ the same motor. ![[Mad]](mad.gif)

Since your in Southern Cal. Check out Ford Performance Solutions. I purchased my motor with them 6 years ago and have no complaints. But I've only put less than 3k miles on it. 25 1/4 miles runs and 7 dyno runs.

I'll probably kick out some more cash for a boss block or keep the boost level down to 9-10 with a stocker with a good tune and maybe methanol injection. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Coast parts aren't necessarily crap, it's their people assembling engines.
