Anyone out there know where I can purchase a new 2.4L short block for my car. :confused: I am trying to do a complete overhaul on the engine. Need shortblock to finish. :banghead: I am putting on a T3/T4 Hybrid and want to put it on a new short block that is newly ported and polished. As well as a few other mods that will not be disclosed to ensure that my Cav is able to embarass just about every import I have seen where I live. :evillol: I have a friend that is a diehard musclecar entusiast helping me with the engine. Problem is everywhere he knows to go for engines doesn't sell anything below a V8. Should cause for some awesome horsepower gains. Any information would be helpful.

go check out some junk yards when u get back to the good ol u.s. that's the cheapest way, then just take it to a shop for port, polish, and rebuild, u'll have yourself a beast, plus more w/ the turbo. good luck :iceslolan

Hey thanks man, I will go ahead and do that. I just thought that there might be some place to buy one brand new. I guess after its done it will be just as good as new.

yea, i'm sure there are some sites out there that sell low mile 2.4 engine but it's gonna be a chunk of change to buy ($1000). u can prolly find a good condition 2.4L in a junk yard for really cheap. make sure u get everything, tranny, mounts, chip.
oh, one more thing, what unit r u in? 233rd bsb?

I am HHC, 22nd Signal Brigade. You are familiar with the Darmstadt community I see. I have a few buddies in the 233rd BSB.
