Like John, I gathered parts over time and did it locally. Saved some coin but it takes a lot of time. If you need a short block ASAP, I think Texas Speed and SDPC have 370's in stock.

How many miles did you have on it? I know you have been hitting it pretty hard for some time now.

I agree I don't even have 2k in my shortblock including all machine work and assembly. Stock crank, eagle rods, coated forged mahle pistons.

I called REX and got him to build me a stout 370. He was great to work with and plus sent pics on the build process plus it took him no time to build it and ship it to me.

Me too, and between him and Richard at WCCH, they were the best people I have dealt with. I had mine less than 2 weeks from the first time I talked to him.
