Default Best place to buy ej25 short motor

Hi guys just considering all my options really. Where's the best place to buy a brand new ej25 short motor these day?
I remember there being some superb offers on these a few years ago?
Anyone?

Joe

I can supply a fully forged one, all new parts for £2500, or with a used crank for £2K
A much better option than a new one with choclate pistons :-)

2.1's are my most common build at the moment, prices are the same as the 2.5 or a bit cheaper if your happy with an open deck block. It all depends on your final power target, if you dont see yourslef going more than 450, the 2.5 provides great spool/torque.

Yes everything will bolt straight on, the external dimensions of the blocks are the same, its just the bore thats bigger, plus longer stroke crank.
