It will handle but if you break a rod it wil usually trash an aluminum block. I've seen rods break iron blocks too, just not as easily.
iwanted to do the aluminum block for a long time, however there is more to do then just the coolent passage from what i understand.
you have to get a different timing cover and main studs. also i heard you have to use the cobra gears in it.
it sounds like a pita but i dont know.
i think i am just going to do a regular block at this point, its cheaper and easier to deal with. i just want the weight reduction so bad.

What all was required to make it work? Anything like what is said below here?

Would this block be a direct replacement? http://www.modulardepot.com/product_info.php?products_id=307
The 4.6L 2V Explorers have the aluminum block. I know the 02+ are aluminum, won't commit myself to the 01 and older explorers. The aluminum Explorer motors have the coolant passage already.
Silver04GT,
You now know why I wanted that Mark VIII block that was supposedly in Regina earlier. I have found one quite some time ago, which was used for my 5.0L Big-Bore that is going into my TBird.

Just off the top....heads, cams, intake, timing cover, chains, gears. You want to do a 4V swap, then look around for a used Mark VIII engine and go from there. Even if you don't use those particular heads, getting the rest of the parts from a used Mark VIII is still going to be cheaper than buying them outright.UDTBadkarma said:Now im curious. What would it take to put 4v Cobra heads and an intake on my GT block?

Amen, as I said in my earlier post 4v swap = certain frustration and lots of money. There would so many little parts here and there that you'd need. It would probably drive the average guy nuts! Personally if I was gonna go 4v I would be ordering up up the 01 Cobra motor from the FRPP catalogue and doing the swap that way. You get a complete motor and computer, etc. clean and simple!
