[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 15766999, member: 166576"] According to this thread it looks like a GT500 block was used with Lightning 2V heads. If thats the case, a 5.4L 2V block SHOULD work on a GT500 with some modifications to the core plugs. [URL]http://www.lightningrodder.com/forum/14-gen-2-lightnings/250474-differences-5-4-blocks.html[/URL] Jim from JDM appears to have posted in this thread. You may want to give him a call or email and ask his opinion on your options. [URL]http://www.teamjdm.com/contact-us/[/URL] If it is indeed true that 2V and 4V iron 5.4L blocks are interchangeble, you may have scored a big win here. There are LITERALLY a metric shit ton of them out there. If you can confirm and it IS a go, get a 2v 5.4L shortblock. Reassemble and get your car back on the road. Save for a great engine build. There is hope [USER=186432]@Tighteyes[/USER], that is the power of the Ford Modular engine. :D :D On a personal note, my car was hit at the track by a GTR.
