I'm using a stock Alum block out of a 96 Cobra.jegg said:Hey Bob,
Are you gonna a stock block? Just wondering...i want to beef up my bottom end also but i want to use the stock block
To have a Teksid made to 304ci you have to have it resleeved and then bored to 3.70, VTEngines and Modular Performance both do this and sell shortblocks.tx2000gt said:Wait, then what do I need to bore out to get a 302 out of the Teksid?

WOT said:Mike get the Spec stage 3+ clutch and lightweight flywheel. The clutch is suppose to be as streetable as the stage 2 but have the holding power of the stage 5.
And as for the rotating assembly yes it is $200 extra but you have to have the stock crank rebalenced anyway. May as well start out with a brand new one and have the ability to wind it past 7000 RPM. The stock crank is not save past 6500 RPM.
It is your money in the end might as well spend it wisely.
Gearbanger 101 said:I kept the stock crank since it good enough for all but the most serious horsepower or high RPM applications and added Diamond Pistons and Manley rods. Good for 600hp.
Bought them here....www.modularperformance.com

Problem solved.
Yeah, I've got one of those in an old '93 Mark VIII sitting at my parents house right now. I'll probably use it for my next build, but I'll go with a steel crank with that one, so it will take the RPM. The stock iron block is more than tough enough to handle anything 99% of the users on this board will throw at it, but the additional weight savings an aluminum block provides would be nice to help counter the weight of the 4V components.VicRattlehead said:id do the exact same thing but id use a Teksid block to start with
