Why are you replacing the block??? Is the block itself that weak?? Why not just replace the internals and keep the block??? IT seems like a waste of money to me to replace the block if you forge the internals.

I think Im confused...It might be the term im using, but I thought have the "internals forged", what just that, not replacing the engine...?

I dont need a new block to have this done...right?

So...how much, to have the engine that i own (factory engine), have the internals forged?

I saw $5500 for the whole process....but, is that with a new block? or with my engine already?

Ask Michael Kidd about strokers. He has a 5.0 ltr stroker in his car and he wishes he spent the money somewhere else. 4.6 is plenty

Indeed, although I don't know where I couldv'e spent anymore money on the damned thing lol.

You can probably get the parts for around $1400-1500 if you just have your GT crank balanced (rods, pistons, rings, bearings, etc.) It's the machine work that will cost - usually about the same as the parts, maybe a little less.

The only difference buying a shortblock is the block itself, which is relatively inexpensive (for a windsor or romeo factory block). I had quotes of $2600 - $3200 (including parts) to have a forged rotating assembly installed in my block. That is roughly the same as finding a reputable engine builder and simply purchasing a shortblock.

Keep in mind that all the pricing above is with the motor out of the car. This does not include labor to have it torn down or put back in.

I don't know if I cleared it up for you, but hope it helps.
