Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

esfourteen

correct

Originally when I built, I thought I had knock, but later found out it was just a broken stock flywheel. I was overly paranoid and thought the noise was light knock so I bought a spare blocked and built it.

The built block failed due to knock, too much boost/timing for 93 octane.

Now I'm going back to a stock block. Why? $2400 shipped for a low mileage block, which is about what I'd pay for a built block, but it would take longer and you run the risk of assembly error. The stock block has proven to handle over 600hp with e85, and thats more than is really useful for the street. I may eventually build another engine but for now I just wanted to drop something in complete that I know will work.
