Modular Mustang Racing, is running a special currently on turbomustangs.com.
They are basically 1/2 of X2C motorsports after they split up...the good half from my dealings

I have never heard a bad word spoken about DSS motors and am considering one of them for my new car. Can't say such good things about some other shops selling motors.

Another thing...With me adding the forged block then bumping up the HP/TQ to around 500/500 with extra goodies will I need to change out anything else to support this? new tranny or whatever?

well, DSS has had a reputation all through the 90's I guess. their old nickname was Dog **** Shortblocks. I just tore my motor apart after things kept breaking and found out that they didn't blueprint my motor. mains are all out and the cylinders are all different diameters soo... If you buy a shortblock from them, take it to a guy with a good mic, and measure it to be sure, if it's bad, send it back, they'll cover ya.

I would have Dave Bliss build you one.

Just waiting to hear back from some people before I make up my mind...

Talk to fryjr on fnSweet, he has a DSS block, took them like 2 weeks from start to delivered and he really seems to like it. You're gonna have some problems if you're making above around 420rwhp with some of your Roush stuff...

I think that bliss is a good guy, it's a safe way to go, he's local, he has a good reputation, good tools. no hit or miss with this guy.

 

[sgtfirormsg]

I cant seem to find a website for this bliss performance...I have been working some with krazy and its close to home...

 

[TheRedBlur]

I don't think he has a website.
call brad from brads custom auto. or email them or whatever, he knows the guy.
is your car stateside?

 

[sgtfirormsg]

Yeah my car is in storage and my folks live in P-town so I figured I could have everything planned out if not finished by the time I am home end of Jan.

I run a DSS pro bullet, and have been very happy with it. I pulled it apart when I got it and did a few extra things, but everything looked good inside while I was there... I chose DSS on the reccomendation of a friend of mine who runs a mustang shop, who said he had never had a problem with their motors. (he also relayed that "I cant say the same about Coast...") .
I would reccomend DSS, on a bang for the buck basis.
