Default importbuilders.com---their motors any good?

anyone had their motor built by them? was the quality good? considering letting them build me my 2L bottom end but a little unsure? guy didnt seem to know that z10 block girdles existed and what they were. i think jeff from the board owns it or works there but not sure, anyone have any experiences with them

also are the je pistons similar to endyn? some people seem to love endyn but in the end is there a real difference?

I spoke to Jeff on the phone and he sounds like a real cool, professional builder who knows his stuff. I kinda question his pricing on the blocks because I was considering getting the 2.0L dominator block from him, but for now, I'm gonna hold off...

.....well if you're looking at importbuilders, then consider RS Motorworks in CA.

They've got a deckplated b20vtec combo that'll make 240-260whp...
