Source for NF rebuilt blocks?

RedBelliedJet · 07-31-2004, 07:55 PM

My research continues. I have decided to keep the stock CIS-E injection and adopt an NF motor for my CGT. I am planning to use an Audi 100 exhaust manifold (to avert future cracking problems), with a Blau NF sport head ($1300). The question I have is: Where can I get a quality rebuilt block for a decent price? I went to the Audi dealer and they wanted $3700 for a factory reman unit....THUMP (the sound of me hitting the floor!) I may have to learn how to rebuild the block myself if I can't find a substantially better deal somewhere. How much labor would I be looking at to rebuild it myself. Is it as simple as changing out the bearings, rings and honing the cylinders? Thanks in advance for the input!

I couldn't find a price for a 2.3L but here's a link for a 2.6!!
2.6L eurospec prices

Your best bet is to find someone localy who rebuilds and mods VW engines, buy a junkyard 2.3L and have them rebuild it and port the head!!!
