Thank you everyone for your quick responses to my other thread where I mentioned wanting to do a 2004 cobra swap on my 2001 GT due to my blown rod.
I have decided that it would be much easier to just buy a performance block from somewhere else. I have seen the MMR and the VT version of their short blocks with forged rods, etc. but I want to get an idea on the variety of options I have at this point.
I don't think that changing my block will add much horsepower (it's more of a durability issue). I would like to know if there is a place that sells a complete engine with upgraded cams and everything. It would be nice to put in a nice N/A motor that has a big bang. Does anyone have any info on a place that sells a kit with more than just the block? I am learning a lot through this process, so I'm still trying to understand the lingo. I am trying to keep costs in the $6000-7000 range. Thanks for your help!

P.S. I would also be up to new ideas such as upgrading to a 302 or 351 to make my mustang stand out from the rest. If you have info on these swaps, I'd like to hear as well.
