![]() I have seen OEM new ej207 shortblocks for sale on both sides of the pond. Flatirons Tuning is one of the US retailers I saw.

![]() Not sure if this is the same as the JDM EJ207....
https://www.flatironstuning.com/genu...embly-gdb-v7-8 For that price I could get the EJ257 block from Outfront with custom CP pistons for use with 2.0 heads.... https://www.outfrontmotorsports.com/ej-shortblocks |

![]() Id be going the proper hybrid route in your situation. But first I’d fight them for a motor replacement or full refund.

![]() Talk to JDMNEWYORK.com, I purchased a good motor from them recently, very fairly priced. Avoid NAGOYA.

You can also get the v10 short block through Flatirons which has thicker cyl walls. |

UK has also just signed an FTA with Japan effective Jan 01 2021 which drops the 10% import duty on some auto parts, not sure if this applies to short blocks currently. By 2026 car part and complete car import duty drops to zero, so cheaper JDM cars for us. |

"In May 2019, one year after the start of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Commerce under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. §1862), President Trump proclaimed motor vehicle and parts imports, particularly from Japan and the EU, a threat to U.S. national security." ![]() |

If Biden changes the USA approach of late and joins this block, it could help us all trade with lower taxes, which would be great for USA/UK trade. Trump wanted to do a deal with UK but the pissing about our lot did trying to overturn the Brexit vote lost us two years, so that never could happen. OTT i suppose for the thread but interesting potential developments for us JDM car enthusiasts. |

UK has had a very tough 4 years since the Brexit vote in terms of value of the £ compared to USA and Japan, but the £ is now back to the same value as in 2017 against the Yen and is gaining on the US$, so our import prices are dropping. This last calendar year its lowest was 1.14:1, it's now 1.41:1 so our import costs for anything priced in US$ has gone down 23% in the last year. the UK £ is very nearly the same as it was just before the vote to leave the EU and as the vaccine rollout continues (which UK is doing incredibly well with, especially compared to the EU) i expect it's going to continue to climb as we open up our economy whilst EU looks to be going badly wrong and will be getting worse. |
