dude i cant wait till we start yanking teh old motor out. i aint even start mine and im already excited
yeah me to, i gotta get a cherry picker from some where........
what pistons are you running and are those CNC ported heads , or did you port them yourself ?
Clearance issues with the timing cover and balancer is all I have seen , nothing that cant be fixed before you install it
there mark 8 piston, with a 2.66cc dish, and the heads are hand ported by me
are they forged ?

What oil pump did you go with?
Stock 2V blocks will handle 1000HP if not more all day long (same block as 03/04 Cobras), so will most of the aluminum blocks. The only guys that ran into problems in the earlier days were those running the non-teksid blocks (99, 01 Cobra) that were pushing big boost through them. There were no race blocks a few years ago and the guys making 1500-2000RWHP in the pro cars were running factory blocks.

I'm pretty sure the 2v and 03-04 cobra blocks are different. Don't quote me but I think it has to do with webbing, and more main bolts
