Cool thanks, I sent him an email. Hopefully he gets it. I have his cell number too. Would he mind if I just called him?

Hey Chris,

I sent the e-mail to Bill at his new address and got a response yesterday, and have been waiting for another response. I actually sent one or two more e-mails in the mean time. I'm guessing you guys are busy, but basically besides possibly looking for an ej22t block, I am looking at options for having my ludespeed stage 2 kit installed, and that's why I e-mailed. I can send along some info regarding my situation to you, if you'd like

This is a damn good deal for a short block new if your looking for something beefier we have stroked closed deck 2.2L motors with USDM STI crank (roughly 2.35L), with forged rods and pistons available in a couple of different flavors starting at $3500.

I'm in Folsom (east of Sacramento), but wouldn't rule out driving to the bay if I decide to get some of this major install work done.

Mike: Those blocks from subaruwrxparts.com are a pretty good deal. I just don't have that much unfortunately. I doubt I'll have much luck finding anything used though, heh.

Why didn't you say you wanted them cheap? cheap is easy. Click here

$650 complete EJ22 Turbo engine used!

Seems reasonable to me, in fact we have already picked up a couple from there before

MPJ,

Does your shop do work like fixing oil leaks and doing compression tests and leakdown tests? I'm to the point where I need a shop to fix up my car since I just don't have th etime anymore.
