View Full Version : need someone to install a shortblock

Current setup 97 cobra vortechd

Forged shortblock was installed less than 2,000 miles ago and now has a freakin knock.

I need a new one, someone who can install.. Even if its a stocker. Probably going to trade in at the dealership..
If a rebuild is cheaper, I should still have my old block still at Dayton performance..


Anybody help with all of this ?

who built the rod knock engine?

I have a shortblock that will work, but it needs a 6 bolt flywheel.

That motor came from Steve Sills and was built by Puals in Cinncinatti! NOT Dayton Performance

How long ago was this? I thought Steve sold that motor to you like 2-3 years ago.

Bought the motor in January 2011
Got my car back in July or August of that same year.

I bet I havent put 1,500 ish miles on it.

My buddy spun a rod this spring because he didn't prime the the motor with oil. He let it sit for 6 months on 1yr old oil. I think the crank and rod bearing was dry and when he started it up not primed, the dry bearing stuck and spun.
The worst thing you can do to a car is let it sit. 1500 miles in 2+years is worse on a motor than putting 60,000miles on it in 2years. Sucks, hope you figure it out and its nothing major

I drove the car here and there, small commute to work, it didnt just sit..
But thanks for the story, and well wishes.. I hope to figure it out soon too.
