Looking for advice from guys who have been in this situation before ? What did you do after you blew your motor ? I think the fastest but most expensive way is to buy a built long block ? Any advice or suggestions on vendors would be helpful. Thanks for the help
If you plan to keep the Stillen Kit then I think your best bet is to put a stock engine back in and leave the kit completely as Stillen designed it. You don't need a built block to run the kit at the power level Stillen designed it for.

If you are going to build it, call IPP. They have been building Nissan engines for decades.

I agree and building a block for a Stillen SCer kit seems overkill. Unless you fix the MAF location so the engine actually knows what temperatures it's getting you will have the same problem.
