Default blew my f22c

Hey guys so I blew my engine last week going on highway 9. And it pretty much rodknocked on me.

Currently im in a situation where should I sell car with blown motor and part everything out? Or should i swap in the same engine, or idk fabricate a new engine in like a rb26 or ls1, it really is a nice car and ive grown attached to it. If i do decide the latter, anyone know a good affordable shop I can go to to do the swap?

Swap in the same engine! It's a great set up.

Sorry to hear that. You can try looking into Blacktrax. They offer excellence service and possibly replace the motor.

BlackTrax is really the only shop answer you'll get out of here. Especially if you're in the HWY9 area.

Can I ask how you managed to blow your engine? Mis-shift?

swapping engines are hella easy any shop can do it and nothing to worry about as long as the engine is already built and ready to put in. i would highly suggest you to get a used engine for 2K and start rolling
