The ad said 'build of materials' instead of bill of materials.
I see a lot of red flags in this ad. I've installed shortblocks that arrive ready to go, built my own shortblocks, had local shops do drop ins, and had local shops do full builds.
I'm concerned that they are listing the same shortblock for the BRZ and WRX.
"increased...superior....improved..." What are the specs? Are they 'from the factory tolerance of X to our tolerances of Y'?
"OEM Quality forged steel crankshafts" Why not OEM?
Why not ONE bearing manufacture? 3/4 options of 'you might get one of these' is a bit concerning. Have they tested all these bearings extensively in this platform?
For two THOUSAND DOLLARS less, you can get an IAG Stage 3 FA20 shortblock, which appears to be similar/a dash better, with slightly lower CR.

The MAP build with an option here and there is $1,500 less.
What is it that magically makes this engine worth so much more? Advertisements in their own magazine? lol
