[QUOTE="drews01cobra, post: 8097998, member: 83950"] From reading forums, I noticed an ongoing debate about 2001 Cobra engine blocks. I've heard that the 99 Cobra block was Teksid and the 01 block was a WAP. Lots of owners reported having a Teksid block in their 01's and that Ford used them until they ran out and began using the WAP block. Just a little info, my Cobra was a late build (3361 of 3867, August, 2001) and it came with a Teksid block. I have no idea when they began putting WAP blocks in the 01 Cobras. I hope this info helps someone. [B]Quote from Wikipedia[/B]: The engine block was changed from the Teksid block to the Windsor Aluminum Plant or WAP block. The WAP block is regarded to be weaker than the previous Teksid block. Some 2001s received the Teksid, either from the factory or as a replacement motor.
