Engine Builder Needed

cgr406 · 05-28-2023, 02:45 PM

Anyone know of a good quality VQ engine builder anywhere in the lower 48? I need a build that will support 700whp. I've already spoken w/ Mark @ Mazworx in FL, but am looking for additional options.

A normal build won't hold over time. Been there done that before. My first engine I ran at 718whp most of the time. Headgaskets didn't hold. That engine went in the garbage. I could only save the JWT C2 cams. Your choices are very limited. You can try to experiment and see if it holds or just shell out the coin and do it right the first time. If you have a problem with the first build you will have paid for the better engine doing the 2nd build. Choice is yours.

Listen to the man. He's been there and paid the price.

Thanks for reminding me.

You can always put a stock block back in it and turn it down.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Haha.

Seems like Mazworx is my best odds to hopefully only do this once. Just takes me a bit to get over the sticker shock. Thanks for the input.

My first built engine was right at 12k or a little higher. The Mazworx engine is not that much more.

If you steam cut/ plasma cut the block at the bores, you are going to need a new junk yard engine. Been there done that before too.
