A Few Basic Questions....
Sorry,
They've probably been asked a few times but just to try to get somewhere close to being on the same page....
Whats a 2.35 bottom end? Why is it so sought after?
Whats a short block or long block (different stroke same bore?)
A 2.1 stroker kit, would that require a slight rebore of barrels?
Sorry if i seem dumb......

He means the reciprocating components, together, describe a c.79mm height difference between TDC and BDC i.e. the replacement rods would have to be slightly longer than those used in the basic EJ22.
"79.47mm"-spec rods to be precise (if employing pi as 22/7).

And SCDB (semi...), as the name suggests, is 50/50 i.e. the "in-fill" casting comes only half way up the block. Bottom half closed; top half open.

I would.
2.1 is the best "£ per cc" equation. JGM said, in a remap (obviously), the relatively small increase of 100cc gains you a decent extra wodge of torques, compared to the 'vanilla' OEM 1994cc. Plus, the integrity of the block isn't compromised (esp. being a CDB anyway!).
Not sure if it's a rebore, or stroked, though? Or are there both routes available....?

I'll have a couple of 2.2t blocks arriving soon. As said though, rare as **** and getting harder to find. Price is £1400 if interested. 2.1 build generally get rebored to 92.5
Short block is the block, crank, rods and pistons.
Long block is as above with heads attached

I think its just the terminology used, "short" meaning without heads, "long" meaning with. If its with heads, then what rebuilding would be needed unless i forged internals as well.
What are you wanting to get from your car?
Powerwise, driveability, how do you drive the car?
Road/track?
All things you have to consider before making a decision on where to go with it.

2.1 stroker is a 2.5 scooby crank in a 2 litre block with a bit of honing/rebore. Still revs as well as the 2 litre , but a bit more torque and so will work better with a slightly bigger turbo that would be laggy on a 2 litre.
2.35 is a 2.5 crank in a 2.2T block - biggest safe power/cost.
2.5 block is a bit dodge over 450 or so - open deck block/ thin liners - but Alyn /Stockcar on here is beginning to produce CBD 2.5s soon.
Any serious power and you will need good internals as well as the oem rods /pistons canna take it captain.
Having said all that RCM's gobstopper was pretty much just a 2 litre and that puts out circa 850bhp with the Nos switched on...but that would cost a bit more than £5k

For 350-400 you don't need a 2.1
Some forged internals will handle that.
That said you're going about it the wrong way IMHO.
"the cheapest I've found......"
Buying cheap and skimping on decent parts is a bad start to building any engine.

In that case, take your time, collect parts slowly, and build the car you really want.
Once you start getting to higher figures you need to start thinking about clutches, gearboxes, fuel pumps, injectors etc etc etc.
If you want to build a fast reliable road car go for a 2.1
14mm headstud conversion is a overkill on anything less than 550-600
Be worth giving Alan or Martyn a call at Engineturner to discuss it properly if you're serious so you can work out a proper goal.

Personal choice.
I prefer using crower or carrillo rods. Cosworth also make good rods.
Have seen a couple of engines go bang with Manley rods but to be fair they were running a lot more than 400/400.

RCM charge £270 to convert from rear to centre, so similar for the other way round - assumng if possible???

Billet crank can use centre thrust or rear thrust, but the billet crank is very expensive (multiples of the cost of a rear thrust conversion) and not necessary at your proposed levels. As a result you'll need a rear thrust conversion for a CBD.
