Cosworth is big $$$. Axis would be my choice. Cobb is a also a player. I couldn't recommend Crawford due to customer service issues I've seen in multiple threads. There's a thread on NASIOC where a 2.5 Cosworth block is $18K+. Too much money IMHO.

Thanks , I was looking at a Axis stage 3 , runs about $4050 + shipping build time about 3 weeks . The stage 5 was alittle over kill for me , I figured money could be spent on other areas such as headwork and drivetrain . Maybe , Cosworth heads ?

the axiss ej22t is cheaper. they bore it out 20 over so it's 2.4 and can handle a lot. plus ha individual oil squirters. if i were buying a motor thats what i would buy, that or a jdm spec sti motor. gl
