hey jim, thought the stock S197 crank is good for around 600. what would be the benifit of using a forged crank if staying around 600
Anyways, I'm looking for more power than 600hp rated. I have my block and a bare block as well out of an 05+ so do you sell this kit as a rotating assembly?
I just ordered a 302E from JDM Engineering.
I spoke with Jim Jr. and he was very knowelegable.
He took the time to explain all the various options and made sure that I got excactly what I need, and didn't waste money on things I didn't need.
I feel like I really got the most bang for my buck and JDM's reputation is pretty damn awesome.
I'm totally stoked and can't wait till it hits the rollers.
Won't be long now....
thanks, this is perfect for those cars, we have sold a few to some Mach 1 guys already.
Also this shortblock works great on S197 cars just at or under 600 HP!!
How does the core charge deal work?
you can send us your block to be built, right now we dont have any more cores. We have been buying new blocks from Ford which are very expensive right now. So we can take your block deck,hone, balance the rotating assembly and assemble the shortblock for you. That is the best way to save some money on a build.
Allen...you looking for the 302EF or a 302E...?ILL LET HIM KNOW. thanks
Allen...you looking for the 302EF or a 302E...?
The 302E is the one where they are short on blocks.....the 302EF they have plenty of blocks for.....if I understand that correctly.
I think it depends on the power level he is looking for...The 302EF is good to about 600 HP and they have blocks for that in house. The 302E is basically the same motor but has a much stronger block capable of more RWHP. Those blocks are more expensive and are a little harder to come by....at least that is my understanding.ok well its for my buddys mach 1
