How much is shipping? Does it come with the cam? Is it out-right or is their a core charge? This seems like a great deal. Anyone ever try Diablo Engine in Dubin?

i got my new engine rebuilt at diablo engine and machine in dublin and it runs and sounds great. For a short block its 1600 .... 1500 with the core charge i believe. They're kick ass tho, if you have the cash hit em up.

why not just run another stock shortblock, $200 or less and it will last just fine

the block is the limit anyway [patriot]

so you are going to run 91 at all times, thats fine

but how much power are you going to gain from, 9.5 compression jumping to 10.5 compression, not a whole lot

my point is that 1200 you will save going good stock over new can be used in other performance area's that will help a lot more than that 1.0 compression increase
