well let me clarify my comment. I dont wanna spend any more money on the car. I have spent way too much on it already not to mention I bought a 05 GSXR-1000 yesterday that will out run the mustang anyways.

The Sportsman block is a glorified stock block, not worth the cash at all. They will split just like a stocker.

Look into the DART Sportsman, 4 bolt on center 3 cast caps $1700 or the DART Iron Eagle, 4 bolt on all billet caps

Think we've been here before - messes up the quench, makes one more detonation prone - a no-no with boost.
