No, motor is not blown. :coolman: Should I start with some local speed shops or start calling junk yards? If anyone has a guess, please post up.

How about karkraft.com? They are in Livonia.
Some friendly advice... don't narrow your field down to just 96-98's. According to guys in the New Edge section quite a few 99's had Teksid blocks as well, and even some 01's.
Dude I can't believe you blew your engine.
Were you over cooling it?
Did you look under your car you may have one under there already?
:burn:

Aren't you going to drive that car a little? It seems like it is in a constant state of wrenching. For only 85 lbs weight savings its probably not worth it to go aluminum for longevity issues. Delete the a/c, buy lighter seats, battery in trunk, rear seat delete. There is you're 85 lbs easy right there. Karkraft is a ripoff @ $2500 for a teksid block.

That's the point... bare used Teksid blocks are going for under $500 right now. I priced it out.. and can rebuild a motor cheaper than gutting my current one. This will allow me to *drive* the car rather than having it constantly on blocks. The engine in the car right now is 100% fine.

Will you love me even if my twin-subframe, twin-57mm Cobra wins the sibling rivalry next Summer? Unless I can get a great deal on a blower that's probably where I'm headed :beer:

YES
Because I never seen you at the track. :nonono:
And I got mad driving skillz.

how many do you want ?????
Are you just doing a straight up swap of the block?

looking for one virgin ford teksid used block in the best condition possible. good condition is more important to me than low miles.
