I saw that news last week. nice alternative for big HP build.

 

[tjm73]

I missed it somehow. Pretty crazy.

[tjm73]

Not for the faint of heart or light of pocket book.

Yup. That bad boy is built to handle lots of boost and 1000+hp.

How much more does it weigh than the stock aluminum block?

 

[Dino Dino Bambino]

I'd say about 65-70lb.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

They havent released weight yet. Estimated price is 5k, half of a billet aluminum block. If i was in the market this is the route id go.

 

[tjm73]

I think they will sell a bunch of these. A BUNCH.

Has there been a problem with aluminum blocks failing?

Yes a lot of failures under boost. There have been a few fail even after being sleeved. Water jackets crack at the top of the cylinder.

I tough that problem got resolved with the revised block in the gen 2 or gen 3 engines? I thought Ford changed the reinforcing around the top of the cylinder.

Its better but not fool proof.

Yes it's better but anything over 700rwhp, 550rwtq, and 12psi of boost is still testing the limit.
