I have a 2005 GT aluminum block that I want to install in my 2002 F-150. It has already been converted to a wet sump system. I'm told that there needs to be some machining done for it to accept a regular starter motor.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks

Just curious, Where or how did you get a Ford GT block?

My late brother, Mike Dunn, was a talented and successful automotive engineer. His last personal project was this Ford F-150 http://www.i-disappear.com/mad.htm. After his death I inherited the truck, along with it came numerous parts. Among them was a 2005 Ford GT aluminum block that he built into a short block.

According to Ford Racing they are no longer available. I've been offered $5,000 for the block alone without the ModMax crank, Manley rods and whatever brand pistons are in it.
