[QUOTE="devilish64, post: 16359227, member: 146116"] So i decided i would really like to keep this motor im building standard bore to keep as much strength in the block as possible. I am in the process of trying to locate a new 5.4 iron block wich is proving to be a little difficult. I wanted to try and put a motor together while leaving the motor running in my gt500 as to keep the downtime to a minimum. My research tells me 5.4 iron engines like in our cars use the 5.4 nvh block also found in a few other ford vehicles. Can i expect to find a lower mileage(under 100k mile) engine that was running to steal the block and expect it to be able to get away with just a hone and keep it standard bore?? Or is this not gonna happen more than likely? My gt500 is less than 20k miles but i would like to keep the factory shortblock intact if possible. I know the only one that can truely answer this is the machine shop.... but i dont want to waste the time and money on getting a new to me used block for it to not fit my goals for the build. Thanks for any help.... this is the first(and last lol) modular build i want to do for this car so i really want to get it right. [/QUOTE]
