[QUOTE="jeffs, post: 8607652, member: 54343"] Are most people who have gone built have a grenaded block that cannot be reused as the foundation of an upgraded build? I hope like heck if/when I decide to step up in the blower world that my existing motor is still in one piece, at least to salvage the block, crank, and heads, send the heads off to be ported and rebuilt, have a machine shop upgrade the rods/pistons, hopefully with the stock bore size honed out just a little for ring seal, and new bearings, and of coarse doing the install of the engine, blower, and everything myself, I hope I'm not looking at these money figures, I'd like to go twin screw and built bottom for under 7K, but that's sounding like somewhat of a dream, after hearing some of this, christ some of these older Lightnings couldn't be sold for what the motor's costing!
