Interesting, did not know they were doing Ford|Modular stuff. I have bought a few things from them for my LSx cars.
That's really cheap, I wonder how they do it. I went with MPR for piece of mind.
I have been looking at these guys for few months now and wanted to create a thread lol also wonder who they are and if they are a reputable shop.
Looks like LS engines are their main focus. They put together some serious stuff. A few high dollar engines on their site.
Somebody be the Guinea pig and let us know
Tempting but still is a bit of an investment
lol investment
I've been eyeing up this short block for awhile. I emailed a guy on the Facebook AMCR page that purchased one back in September 2015, Michael Danner. I asked him if he's had any issues with the short block so far, here's His response,
"Motor is running strong. Found no problem at this time. It was a new block. You will have to get two freeze plugs, 4 alignment pins and two pins for the timing tensioners. I would ask them to install them before shipping. The alignment pins we're on backorder for three months".
I know it isn't much, but atleast we known there's motors out there without issues. I plan on getting a short block In November, and unless I see some bad reviews, I'll probably go with CBM

says this has the oil squirters. Can us with the 13/14 cars without oil squirters still use this?
No sleeves or waterjacket supports? Nah.
It's probably a good shortblock however my guess is CBM is selling some NOS engines from some other shop, Presuming these guys are getting wholesale jobber pricing, the part numbers add up to 2,700+$$ so I don't see how they're doing any machine work , balancing and assembling one of these without losing money. A new block (not from 2011/12) is a grand by it's self.
Why is it missing the freeze plugs? Im looking around for a short block and came across this. Thanks for posting.
