Message As the others have mentioned, it can take quite a long time to
build a new motor. For some it's the cost of the ordeal, for
others it's the desire to obtain unique parts, which they then
have to later order more unique parts that they should have
ordered in the first place. Quite often we get orders for Tomei
cams...then three weeks later the customer decides he wants
Tomei cam gears....then head gasket....then ...you get the
idea.

If you brought your car to a shop and said "rebuild it with
Nissan stuff" you could get it done in a week and a half if
your machine shop isn't dragging their feet....and most of the
good machine shops are slow because they're good and have
a ton of work.

I'm of the opinion now that unless you're going for really big
numbers, just get a Nissan shortblock and be done in a week.
