[QUOTE="sdoo500, post: 15961010, member: 129968"] Just did the first start up on my 2013 with Gen 2 short block last night. Stock bottom end was hurt, and I wanted a motor to hold 800 or reasonably safely and this was the easiest way to do it. Gen 2 shortblock from Tasca was ~2300 (with core charge, need like core for deduction) so I still have my short block. Bought gasket kit and everything from him and just had my heads examined by local machine shop. I did OPG and sprocket while everything was out too. I hesitated for a while because I thought the swap was difficult with the timing and everything but it really was so simple. Can't beat the bang for the buck on that set up. Stock block is still probably worth a couple bucks too. [/QUOTE]
