Engine/Trans help

[ChuckN]

I actually found a builder that has a decent price and seems like he’s a pretty nice guy so for the price and the build specs it seems like a pretty good deal so in the next few weeks I’m going to get one of his builds.the only problem is which one to get again thinking of the transmission which I know is going to be the weak link then the rear end.

Don’t know if you’re still reading this thread, but that’s a good way to go. Crate motors are enticing- you get the shiny name, the Christmas Day feeling of it arriving….and you buy what you want for your application.

A local builder- you’re helping a local business, and if something goes sideways, you can walk into their office. That’s huge! Way better than calling a company from far away when you suspect something isn’t right.

As far as the Blueprint water pump not being able to run a mechanical- that’s madness on their part and poor part selection when a cast iron pump that you can do whatever you want for setup (and is way cheaper) is fine.

That’s true and it is crazy that chose to use that vs what 90% will want to run.
