James Race Engines - help needed

[Weq]

Having the engine built here in Oz is not a stupid idea. I am able to source all the parts for you (as could many other people) and then get a reputable engine builder to build it. I would start with THIS block. Its a Dart aluminium block with 84.5mm bores and steel main caps. You also have the option of the B20 block. The most important aspect of that particular block is it is a closed deck design.

My one big problem with what you want to do is your budget. For that power your budget may take a bit of a hammering.

It is a stupid idea? Rocket import these blocks from the US. Pretty funny huh?

There are no reputable honda builders down here. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. Im talking a 10 second honda block (NA/FI) that lasts more then a few passes down the quater before being pulled apart. Oh wait, there arnt any. Online runs an american block. Exqizit. American. There are no specialised honda builders in australia. Fullstop. The market is not big enough. If you get your block done here, its done by a generic machining facility. Generic engine builder. The exception here would be small shops like toda. * Check your sources for the Reason *

Yeh sure im going to ruffle a few feathers, but thats life. So much BS being thrown around, but when it comes to put up or shut up, no one can deliver. Look at the sub-10sec list on honda-tech, owned by regluar joe's. And not one shop here can do it.
