Picked up my engine block this weekend. Went with a Teksid aluminum 4.6 block to save some weight off the nose of the car. Off to the machine shop in a couple weeks!

Going with a 5.0 stroker kit for this block once the funds come in. Hoping to make 400rwhp with an SVO roots style blower.

If anyone needs one of these blocks let me know, I got an extra.

Sounds like a good start. Those are awesome powerplants with a blower. :cool:
Share your plans / thoughts on your build!

Looking to do a roadster with this block being the home of a stroked 4.6 assembly. The 5.0 displacement will give a nice bump in torque and I have the SVO supercharger kit that came out for the 96-98 Mustang GT's back in the day. Doing ported 2V heads, blower specific cams, with possibly a T56 or T45 behind it. Rearend will be the solid axle 4 link from a Mustang with 3.27 gears. I won't need help in the torque department, so the gears stay stock. Thinking 400rwhp is achievable with that combo.
Of course, not sure on color yet. haha
