Hey Guys and Gals,

Alpine has been toying with the idea of selling built 4 cyl long/short blocks for all you 4 bangers out there. The short blocks would be forged rods/pistons with a fully balanced rotating assembly. They would be either low comp for forced induction or high comp for normal aspiration.
The long blocks would include the above plus a fully built cylinder head with your choice of cam profiles and valvetrain.

Prices are not set yet, but rest assured they would be very reasonsable.

What do you all think? Nobody is offering drop in built I4 blocks so this would be a first for the Hyundai aftermarket.

no, why would it? Thats another couple grand. and a built block for a stg I alpine turbo is a bit overkill, dont you think?
