Default Import parts pro?

Looking at their short blocks for a possibility in my future engine build. Just trying to see if anyone has delt with them and is running their short or long blocks and how theyve held up?

A guy has a motor from IPP here and no worries. Also there is a thread in the DIY engine section with a motor from IPP. Give it a read. Seems like a good engine builder from what i have read.

Yeah, I've done a lot of business with Kyle. He's a great guy, sells quality parts, and knows his stuff. Very easy to talk to.

Haven't bought a built long block from him yet, but getting around to it... He'll build it to your specs. Great guy.

I have a built long block from Kyle @ IPP. Very professional, easy to work with, and he really knows his motors. I have had the motor for a little over a year now, and I have not had any issues with it. If you have any other questions, hit me up on the pm.

Jon - you could at least let me try and be top dog for 5 freakin minutes

Good luck with your build and let the horsepower wars begin. BTW - I've seen peaches05 lurking on the motor for sale threads as well - looks like it will be a busy winter.

I bought my short block, as well as numerous other parts, from Import Parts Pro. Kyle is great to work with and really knows his shiat. A short block or long block may take a little time because he builds them to order, but all the other parts shipped immediately. I just now finished my break-in period , and my car is back at Japtrix for finishing touches, but so far everything I purchased from Kyle is holding up great. Roger at Japtrix said the short block was built very well. The engine is running very smooth, and so far not a single hickup the engine.

Think I may do a complete teardown and reassemble on the built motor (long story) before the swap to the twins. I need to get close to stock to pass emissions in April - June first, unless your guy can look past all my codes for sure. I'll hit you up this weekend if I don't go to AC.
