Many Thanks..!!! Planning on ordering within the next couple of weeks for my Fall/Winter Build Project.
Question... Besides needing the different Motor Mounts and Head Changing Kit as indicated , will I need to get an 8 bolt flywheel, different oil pan, etc.

Sounds good! Feel free to give us a call at 574.594.9559 if you have any questions! We will be more than happy to help. The oil pan can be reused, you will need the different motor mounts, and an 8 bolt flywheel though.

Thanks,
Chandler

Shouldn't that block support close to 1500 or more hp? Yes this is really just an academic question.

Very nice.

The block itself will support 1500hp, yes you are correct, but the internals are not rated that high, so I guess they would be the limiting factor in this case. Either way, a 1000HP is no joke and PLENTY :)

No doubt. 1000 hp is nothing to sneeze at.

So, looking at
1. motor mounts
2. head changing kit
3. 8 bolt flywheel

And thats it?
Of course, this would be a good time to go long tubes, MAF extender, bump up the boost, bigger fuel pumps, new clutch, etc.

Well Guys, I don't mind telling you that i am having a real difficult time making up my mind now. It's definately going to happen, it's just a matter of which one do I choose. So briefly, besides the obvious additional cubic inches, what is the main important differences between your B326 and B302. And, Do you still have the B302 with 9.8 CR available. Any help would be appreciated and will call soon...

The B326 uses the FRPP Boss Iron block, requires different motor mounts, and a different head changing kit because of its larger bore. The B302 is only available as a rotating assembly (Ford doesnt make the 3V aluminum blocks anymore) and reuses your factory block. They both have the exact same internals, except for the pistons (B326 is a larger 3.70 bore which gives you the additional cubes). The B326 does use ARP Main Studs and Side Bolts, whereas the B302 uses the factory TTY bolts. The B326 does weigh around 60-70lbs more than the B302, because it is iron, but the cubes do help with that and the block can also support more power. Either way you go you cant really go wrong. They will both support a BOATLOAD of power.
