[QUOTE="DHG1078, post: 14305760, member: 65442"] Teksid blocks are cheap for one. You can find them at just about any pick and pull in a Lincoln mark VIII for a few hundred bucks. They are aluminum so they are much lighter than the cast iron blocks in most new edge mustangs. They can also handle unreal power, so they are good for whatever power level you want. It does require some machining to work, I believe it is one coolant passage you have to drill in the block to match the 2v heads should you decide to stay 2v. There is also a couple other minor items you need to get for the timing cover and chain guides and things of that nature. I found a very detailed thread on it, I will have to dig it up. Depending on what internals you decide to go with, you can have a lightweight, strong short block for not a lot of money. Just depends on your power goals. When my motor blows, if it ever does, this is the route I am going. [/QUOTE]
