I wouldn't go with LS rods, might as well go with Eagel or something that can support up to 500 + hp

Quad-Damge,
have you personally dealt with any of these shops before on this subject? How reliable are they if you have? I just dont wanna get ripped off in the end.

Jack's Engine Supply in Oakland...Back when LDL was still located in the Bay Area, Dennis sends his LS/VTEC blocks there. I personally have send two motors to his shop. Really nice guy, and turn around time is within two days. His work is top notch.

I have delt with all of these, all of them are good places to get work done,
Import Options is ok, but they are overpriced tho
DNR is cool, my buddie gets all his work done there, i work on my car and **** i don't know how to do, i just call up a shop and ask, but i hate payem for work.

Yeah this shop is local to me. I emailed them and they responded hella quik. But like you said, paying for work is a bitch, thats why i wanted to gather some background information before I dive in. Thanks for your help bro.

10 hours ($85/hour) to build the bottom-end (block). $200-300 for maching."

What do you guys think? All i want them to do is re-hone the cylinders and brush the LS rods, notch the block, balance rods and crankshaft, and put it together. Is the average price or overpriced?

tonyxcom

that sounds pretty expensive to me.

Call TEM and see what he says.

As far as i know import options is not the best place to go. My friend had dealt with them for a GSR swap and instead of recieving a 95 motor he was lied to and got a 96 motor put in. Also they got some high prices.

DNR gets a thumbs up from me......good peeps
