DSS or CHP Shortblock?


Which one is the better deal and better quality motor? I'm not sure about which one to pick so I need everyones help. I have heard good and bad about both. So, I leave the decision to the diehard mustang fanatics here on this site!!

Thanks for all your help and information in advance!

Both are comparable. In my opinion you would be much better off with a local builder. Chances are it will be cheaper and if you have any problems you won't have to chase a company half way across the country.

I've got a DSS shortblock and so far I'm happy with it. I've only got approx. 300 miles on it and seven 1/4 mile runs.

True I can see where that would make a lot of sense. I'll call around to price some buildups.
