fattyona12 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Just to let all who wants to know or even cares, while at fun ford weekend I offically split the block in half. It is visible right next to the dizzy, under the water neck. There is an 8th inch crack running vertical the whole visible area of the block. I guess around 600 or so crank horsepower will do that to a stock block. New setup is in the works and I will post picks of the carnage when the old engine comes out.

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Josh, that's a simple bolt-on fix... Unbolt your engine, and bolt this in: http://www.worldcastings.com/prods_pages/media/102091.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
