all of the mark 8's 96+ have the teksid block. unless it's ovality or cracks prevents .020 overbore the block alone is worth 800.00 machined.
SVTech, dude you should put that motor in a stang with a 96+ cobra intake and cams. it won't torque, but it loves to rev.
a wise man would overbore it .020" and add a 3.75" stroke crank. add some cubes and the heads match better. blown it is hard to top.
a few hundred dollars of machine work, and wellah.
heads: 3 angle, sand the ports smooth. back cut the valves.
i have one (mark8)in the back yard i haven't used yet. i'm considering getting some 3v heads and using that.

with the tiny bore size of these motors it's the only way you can get decent airflow.. you can't make a 2v head with big enough valves with the small bore we are stuck with. I sure hope on the next generation ford V8 they go with a 4.00 bore.
