isnt XS engeneering's shop in cali, theyre good with 7's

M2 is in concord.



Good builder in the south bay - Ivan, i can give contact info.



don't know if SR does it, but they are in Brentwood

Not the car, just the motor. It was mostly a cost issue. Not that I'm going the cheap route. We all know what that leads to. I just like to get the most bang for my buck. Most places out here charge 3000+ for a basic rebuild. KDR charges about the same when you buy a Malloy motor , have it shipped to them and they port and do a few other mods. If I want to port or anything like that out here its bonus bucks on top of the base 3K. So if they were recomended (seeing as how a lot of these members are on the east coast) it sounded like a great deal. Ya know? [/quote]

you're forgetting the $200 shipping each way, plus its gonna be hard to smog with a port

Jack....PLEASE REVERT YOUR COLOR BACK TO WHITE. read is impossible to read and is harsh on the eyes.

go with a local tuner. i've read many people praising pineapple's motor rebuilding work. they are near you. check the regional forums for shops in your area.



i almost went to pineapple myself b/c no one ever picks up the phone at kdr. i wound up going to a local builder/tuner and am very grateful that i did so as i always have someone who now knows the car and what issues should be addressed.

Smog is completely out of the question. I was planning on the hook-up. Won't need it till next year though https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

Thanks for all the input guys. It helps to hear from people who have been there before. I think I will end up going local (at least closer). Right now I'm researching all the options that go with a rebuild. Then I'll start calling tuners and see what they can quote me at.

Does anyone know the price for ceramic seals? I can't find them anywhere.

ianitti (sp?) seals are around 1100, depending on which style you choose. From what I understand, and this may be wrong, Kim, dave's wife, builds the motors for KD. I'm not sure what her professional qualifications are.
