^I'd drop a c-note on some hooked on phonics first...
that being said, you could just get the engine rebuilt, it'd prolly be cheaper...

^I'm not familiar with those, but your options are slim, as the n/a's are only FWD capable for an engine swap... what are you doing to keep on blowing engines??? are you running them w/o oil, no coolant, or redlining the hell out of it??? There really isn't any reason to be going through two or 3 engines and besides the 6g engine is a very strong engine, it's like you have to want to do something wrong in order to mess it up.

Seriously the 6G72 is strong as hell, nobody can beat up an engine as bad as I beat on mine and my shit had over 150K miles on it and never gave a problem. Your probably getting them built wrong or having a chimp install it and mess up the install in order to keep blowing it.
As far as I know Jasper is just an dealer of engines. They offer good guarantee and quality build. Get a stock short block and have a ceritifed tech install it. You'll be straight.

Yeah, if you've blown 2 engines already, I would think the fault lies somewhere other than which engine you buy.

I am also on my third engine (second under my ownership) and i got mine installed and everything for about $2500. Its still an N/A and i dont know where it came from but my mechanic found the engine for me.
