Notes

Horsepower, torque figures, and RPM limits are estimations and can differ widely due to various influences like turbocharger choice, intake and exhaust constraints / backpressure, as well as fuel octane and quality, among other factors. The numbers provided here are derived under ideal conditions with the right supporting modifications and represent achievable outcomes for the typical customer. However, individual results may differ.
It is assumed that a long block in good condition is provided for the build. To prevent confusion and the risk of missing parts, it is requested that all long blocks be shipped fully assembled, from valve covers to oil pan, including timing covers and crank pulley. Any components found to be in non-reusable condition will be identified and replacements will be quoted during the engine assembly process.

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions.
