I would have gone for the $27k engine build for $5k ... Even if you would have to wait a year or two for the car to be finished.
You'd have one hell of a monster high-compression 4.0+ M97 with all the M9x weaknesses addressed, along with ancillaries like Motorsports AOS/Dual Tandem Oil Pickup, Deep Sump, oil cooler, etc.
You have more than one car, why not go that route instead?

Logan, sorry to hear about your blown engine, that must be a nightmare. What warranty company did you decide to go with and how are they treating you? I am interested in having a safety net like that! Please let me know, thanks and good luck!

That would be awesome, I most definitely go that route even if it did take a year. Unfortunately, they only offered 5,000 for the whole engine...

It's all good brother. It's all part of the game. I went with wanted auto protect. They are good, I read a lot of good reviews about them. However, they have tried to get out of this claim, but then I ask myself who wouldn't? I paid 3,000 for the best warranty package. I'm really glad I did.

Well, as much as I fought for an entire rebuild after four months of getting no where, A friend of mine was able to get a used motor pulled from an 06 with 10,000 miles on it. I informed the warranty company of it, and they purchased it....Well it's not exactly what I wanted, but it runs, and I'm okay with it.

If you dont mind, can you PM me what the price of the 3.8 was? Just curious.
