As some of you may know I am tossing ideas what I want to do with this 02 GT Vert I got sitting at my parents place. The engine has rod bearing failure and I could either fix it, junk the short block & sell the heads, or buy forged short block. Mind you I am not doing this from budget stand point because I like to do it right the first time and never mess with it again type of guy. Looking at the specifications on this short block this would make a KILLER N/A setup on trickflow 38CC heads with some type of performance cam, with compression probably in the 12-13 range...how much power you think you can pull out of this engine. 500hp N/A would be awesome and perfect for summer/show cruiser without the reliability issues with a supercharger. I wonder what are your thoughts on this new short block. Here are specs...
* 3.701 in. bore x 3.750 in. stroke
* Connecting rods: Eagle 5.850 in. forged steel H-beam rods with ARP 2000 bolts
* New high-pressure oil pump
* Eagle 3.750 in. stroke forged steel crankshaft with 8-bolt flywheel pattern
* Neutral balance rotating assembly
* Ford Racing M-6010-BOSS50 cast iron performance block
