So on the way home yesterday i maybe put a hole in the side of my block... with 25k on the motor i have no idea why it broke like that. But non the less i now have to build a motor. So i know this is very general but i am just looking for some ideas on what has worked well made better power ect.
Thanks for the help

 

hahah 30 views and nothing.... sweet. So i guess nobody knows becuase nobody has build one yet?

 

waranty?

 

naw its a 2000 but only has 22k on it.... to bad but eff it i wanted to build it anyway.... you'll see how pretty it is when she comes back out

 

Check out www.hardtopguy.com for a like new 2.2L

If the rod left the motor, there isn't anything worth saving inside.

 

Well, not sure how serious of a build you were planning on, but a Toda 2.5L stroker would be sweet! That is if you want to go N/A.

 

Buy a new 2.2L from hardtopguy. My experience with a built motor (2 actually) was not positive.

I bought a new 2.2L from hardtopguy this last spring. Better number and results than I had with built motors.

 

Definitely find a factory built replacement, and those 2.2s from Hartop Guy are a great option. They came from new cars that were written off during delivery in a train wreck. So they are brand new, factory built, 2.2L and cheaper than a rebuild.

I might have to get one myself.
