I learned my lesson. If you go built motor go with a short block from IPP and salvage your heads. I have a ton of extra parts laying around too if you need some. I have a set of heads if you need and such.

I know I was pushing it on my fuel pump. That will be addressed whenever I figure out what ill be doing. Im leaning toward rebuilding the motor. A company called PRS will be selling a closed deck block design soon. Ill probably look into that. Im also kind of interested in the HR head swap. We will see. I have A LOT of research to do. Im not going to cut any corners when/if I rebuild, so it may take me a good while to save up enough money to get it running again.

Isn't PRS that retard Bobby from VSR's new shop? I wouldn't let that waterhead assemble a balsa wood glider for me, much less a motor.

If you want a completed shipped block call the guys at Import Parts Pro. They are a vendor on here.

Z1 has a short block on their website now, built for some boost.

Hmm... I didn't know that. Supposedly they have had good dealings with the Subaru crowds and their "closed deck" blocks. If they are having a 3rd party machine shop doing the block, would you trust that? They won't be building the bottom end for me.

IPP has always had awesome prices on their motors. I'm kind of skeptical about buying a built short block for some reason and may end up building it myself. Anyone heard any bad things about IPP motors?

I wouldn't trust any place that would employ Bobby to do anything right. IPP has been solid from what I've read. That's the direction I'll go if/when I join this club.

IPP has been in the vq game for numerous years. Trust them.
