Unless someone swapped it out, but from your pic definitely a teksid like others said before. 2nd thing, also agree to not haveing it bored if not needed. If it does need to be bored make sure you ask if they torque plate the block when its bored. This means they put a plate on the block that basically works like a head when they bore it to keep things in alignment. The aluminum blocks flex. Another thing is you really can live with a stock crank. they take a lot of hp. Pistons are all over the place (lots of good ones out there), rings rods and bearings are really important. coyote rods are definitely a worthwhile option if you're not trying to hit the 1000 hp mark. Rau03mach and i just did some searching and found coyote rods for $35 a piece.</p></blockquote><p></p>
