We buy a large amount of used engines from LKQ (keystone) so i get a decent price and they have always stood behind their warranty. I dont think i could ever buy a motor from ebay, to risky for me. I am having the blower ported and was wondering about the throttle body. I noticed alot of you use t-bodies without the MAF in them (LS1 style ), just curious why? Is there a decent ported t-body that would work without mods? I am trying to budget build this car for fun. So far so good.

Hoping for close to 300fwhp but if not thats cool it'll still be a fun car
