[QUOTE="2001SVT, post: 15989802, member: 1790"] Well I stand corrected, it is not a 60* block. I had heard this off the plant floor and should have known better. Finally got to see one on part of the line last night and it's a typical 90* block. Sorry for the disinformation. Looks like they've also started to machine a few cranks as part of the machine setup. Not completely machined but it's starting to look promising. As for the CNC machining, we've been doing this for years now. 4.6l front and rear wheel drive blocks, 3.9l, 2.7l, 3.0l and 5.0l heads are all done this way. CNC's are much less expensive and easily adapted for new products. The down side is they are less robust and volume output is much less than a typical transfer line. [/QUOTE]
