Price, warranty, good reviews, and not they are not that far away. They have been doing the modulars long enough that from what I have read, they are stout engines.

well just an update to the current build.
I traded the TrickFlow intake for the Edelbrock and all the parts that go with it.
here is a pic of the intake and the upper elbow and spacers that I have added to make it work. I made both the spacers and I hope they work out when I go get the car dyno'ed.

Well, it's been a while since I posted any updates. I just got a set of wheels and dropped my engine off to Barker Machine and Fab. So hopefully in few weeks I can get my car back together and make some power, that is after I get over to S & M and get a tune. But here are the wheels. I hope I like them when the car is down off the jack stands. I am picky as hell on how my car looks :D.

Yeah but what's bad is that I have decided to go with a bigger turbo. So right now I am installing everthing and if I can sell the one on my car, I can get the one I want. ...lol
I got the hood on and I have got just about everthing together, I just have to rigth not hook up the exhaust, drive shaft and some grounds for the engine. It's been a crazy deal. ohhh... and I may have to buy a different hood as well. :( My plenum is right up against the hood with probably 1cm of clearance...lol
