if you buy a prepackaged engine built then usualyl do that. this looks like they disassembled his motor and rebuilt it.

i am sure that they would allow you to do it either way.... core exchange or reuse core. just keep in mind that machine shops are generally slow turn-around... so if you send them your core, it could take several weeks before they get it back... and it could take a week or two before they have the time to start building it once its back. so your overall down time will be much greater.

with the VHR engine, I would only be concerned about keeping my core with the cylinder heads, personally. that is my plan. I have an entire spare VHR long block, but i will only be using the block casting and crank for my build. I will reuse my cars cylinder heads. Also, I like the idea of keeping my OEM core 100% intact and reuseable should i ever want to put it back in the car or if I blow up my built engine and want to put it stock and ditch the project LOL

thanks! i appreciate the info. now i know i can collect some gaskets and head studs at any time with off-the-shelf parts and not have to worry about any custom orders or even pay attention to the stock stuff when i tear it out.

so are the VHR headgaskets the same as HR headgaskets?

I wonder if the HR/VHR oil pumps can hold up at 8000rpm unlike the DE timebombs.

Well at least we know what to get you for Christmas.

The wheels are nice. I like seeing people do bold things on a car...

Nice build...

with a 700 hp G37 it would still be hot if the wheels were hot pink
