Alright I want to build my motor but am wondering which would be more cost effective. Buying the block and building it then installing it or removing the stock one and building it. And if I just buy a new block who should I go through to get one teksid? Or some other company? Help here is much appreciated.

They don't make teksid blocks any more. You'll either have to get a teksid block out of a lincoln mark VII or a 96-98 cobra. You can usually get one out of a junkyard for 500-600 as a complete motor. This is the route I'm personally taking. You can make this route cost effective by selling your stock sort block as long as its not busted.

I've got a teksid blocked car. The bottom end coat me $3100 in parts and labor, but the weight savings is monumental.
