We are very proud to announce our complete built long block program for our customers to complement the CNC head we launched last year. After many years testing, experimenting (and winning a few races along the way) we have settled on a selection of options to fit virtually every BP project. We have tested pretty much every single one of the many options listed. Send us an email if you have any questions about your project.
Complete blueprinted long blocks with balanced cranks, billet pump gears, forged rods and pistons start at $4599
Check out our configurator to research options: http://949racing.com/SPM-Whammy-Race-Engine.aspx

I can put it in race prep if you'd like?
My only question is: wasn't this previously available for the last year or 2? Or is it a big change that it's now much more customizable online. I could play with your configuration tool all day...

Sorry, was busy collecting all the change in my couch, under my bed, etc.
I think, for the most part, you've talked about most of the aspects of these motors in various threads on various forums. I hate to say that I stalk you for knowledge's sake, but I'd be lying if I said otherwise. I expect anyone looking to order one of these has probably done the same.
I wish I had a reason to spend this kind of money on a motor, but I enjoy driving more than racing and it makes no sense for a DE motor.

Because the Manleys do the job for one third the price. If someone is building a 500hp engine, we can option the Carrillo H Beam's with CARR bolts (We're using those in our 8800rpm K20A2 build). We just left if off the configurator to declutter. There are several high dollar upgrades we left off because realistically, the person that wants a $13,000 BP isn't using a configurator. That's 20 emails and 2hrs on the phone.

I didn't question/comment on this when I saw it on your site, but I do appreciate the new configurator.
This is much more affordable to the average person. Not everyone can afford an ALLOFIT Whammy motor. Not everyone needs that, either.
After all is said and done, building this motor yourself will cost just about this much after all of the machining costs unless you own your own shop. Not to mention how much time it will take you to assemble everything.
In my case, I don't personally know of any shops local to me that are known to properly machine and install everything on a Miata motor. I don't want to end up like Hornetball and removing a head multiple times in a year because of a machining/assembly error. I don't like to gamble when it comes to this stuff.
If you plan on building a Miata motor with more than 60% of the stuff this motor comes standard with, I think it would be difficult to NOT consider going with 949.
Just another thing for me to dream about...

What are your crating/shipping charges like to NJ? The head of NASA NE TT recently finished an exocet and will be racing it in ST3. He posted on facebook a couple days ago for engine builder recommendations in the area because he wants to avoid driving far or paying high crating and shipping fees. I'm going to recommend give you a call, but it'd be nice to have a rough estimate on what it might cost him for getting the motor to him and returning his core.

Hot damn, now there's an awesome price. Just paid $200 for FM's little enchilada package and clutch. Easily a few hundred pounds lighter, although from the middle of the country to west coast, not west to west.
