[QUOTE="Riddick, post: 16449084, member: 143188"] Yes, S550 short block from 11-17 Mustang GT. They will hold much more than 750. My friends wife's has a 15 GT, car was supercharged since 5k miles, curre toy at 40k. Just switched to a twin turbo setup making very close to 1000 at the wheels and is holding great. Car has made several quarter mile passes trapping low 150s and no issues. Only internal mods are oil pump gears, crank sprocket, and head studs. Gen 2 will live along life at 1000 hp. I was saying if you bought a complete s550 short block you could recoupe some of the money if you sold your stock short block. As far as price it all depends how far you want to go. Here is some rough math. Gen 2 short block will be 2500, this includes the 500 core charge. You can pick up a set of oil pump gears and sprocket between 350-550 depending on brand. Head studs will run you roughly 300-350. Not sure on valve springs but I'd guess around 150ish. While your in there change out all the timing chains/ guides and you will need new gaskets, figure a couple hundred for all of this. Then sell your block for 750-1000 or turn it in as a core and get your 500 back. You can probably do everything above with labor and still be cheaper than buying a forged short block.
