The BC billet crank shorty doesn't use BC rods? So I guess that means that BC didn't force you into full BC kits? Thats cool...

[quote=IPSjeff;4900223]Just wanted to let everyone know that we have talked to Scott Merkel (Owner of the machine shop that has been building engines for Ray P.) about building all of our engines from here on out. We will have new pricing and information up on the site with the available configurations (3.0L / 3.1L / 3.4L Billet Stroker / 3.7L Billet Stroker) soon. The engines will be sold through IPS but will be 110% built and assembled by Scott M. and shipped out from him to your door.

Nothing is changing on our end as we never did any of the build/assembly before so we are simply changing vendors. We are not making the change due to there being any issue with the work or reliability of anything from Fowler Race Engines (Our local machine shop) but simply because perception = reality to most people and the current perception isn't great. Fowler will continue to take care of all our other machine work needs, just not our 6G72 engines we sell online.

Sounds like a great move maybe your reputation may inflate some. Obviously, you were at the wrong place before.

Do the prices on the site include the core charge? Or do we have to tack on the $750 to the price shown?

Also, do they come with a new oil pan?

Jeff you may want to change your stage 3 add as it shows the same build as the stage 2 but costs more. A lot more.

Stage 2 is assembled with Mitsu rods where-as the stage 3 includes the forged custom Oliver rods

im a little unfamiliar with engines so, how much will 30 over bore add to the displacement? ( thats 30 thousandths of an inch?) What if you have a 2 bolt?

So who is going to finish the short block that I dropped off and put a $1k deposit down on in February?
