That is going to be one heck of a monster.
Could someone explain to me what the difference is between the short and the long block on SGP's site? I always thought is was the displacement of the engine. Does this mean that they somehow make the pistons travel a greater distance? How can you make a short or long block out of the same engine?

Congrats! I know its been a long time coming for you.. I'm seriously considering going the same route with the built motor. Does $7k include labor and everything? How much was the shipping if you dont mind me asking?

A long block includes the short block plus the heads, cams,intake etc.

Florida G35 Club goin' strong!!! Way to rep G-man! 
Would you ever consider coming up to CFL for one of our track nights? I might be able to get Rich to come over from Tampa with his Greddy TT and ~500 rwhp (built bottom end too) for one heck of a track night.

Ouch that's a low blow. Gman, how do you plan on breaking in your motor? I plan on breaking it in at about 12psi but not close to redline.
