I think you are asking for Veeky Forumss 1994 eg civic build to be posted
Why are there no independent car engine manufacturers like there are for semis?

I heard of their engines after seeing them in some nice drag race cars. Just for giggles decided to check out their website thinking it was going to be $15-20k for their snowflake engines.
>$57,000.00 USD
Like, what? Who is buying $50k+ engines for race cars? Its just like the custom 2JZGTE blocks for $35k which doesn't even include any of the internals.
I understand there are groups who make an income out of winning races, but thats generally because they have a speed shop that makes these retardedly expensive things, and they sell 1 every other year to buy another corvette or skyline to gut and rebuild.

There is one exception to that rule. The Yamaha built V8 SHO engine. The Cam sprockets will walk on the camshafts, throw off the timing and put a valve into the piston. Not good when the engine is worth twice as much as the Taurus body that it is in. Buddy of mine had one and had the sprockets welded to the cams to prevent this.

Clap clap you've figured out that it costs money go go fast in the 1/4. You think it's easy and cheap to get 2200 all fucking motor HP out of anything? Those $50k crate engines are turnkey solutions with a warranty that you can almost daily drive. That's not happening with some 2J on 90psi.

>you could have cars easily go for 2 million miles, if their engines are extremely well built and well tested by a specialty third-party, instead of haphazardly rushed by a company that sucks at it and needs to invest money elsewhere.
you do realize that the company that makes the engine then needs to sell it to the other company at a profit, right? you haven't just lifehacked capitalism, people still want to reduce costs
