Should I buy a Teksid block or a Ford Racing block for a build?

what kind of build? I've heard tekskids can handle like 1,200 hp or something o.O I've seen a few sold locally for like 300$..

Just doing a rebuild to beef everything up. If it can hold that much I'm better off instead of buying one for over $1000.00

Buying a ford racing block for $1000.00 I mean.

You wont break a teksid, and Ill put a dollar to your dime you wont make the power to even begin to stress the stock block you have now

Yeah, them Romeos are tough. I want to pick up a Teksid for the weight savings mainly. Just a small bit of stuff you have to do to run 2V heads on a Teksid. Need to drill a coolant passage in the upper left (Passenger side cylinder bank) of the block, can use a head gasket to show you were. Then a 94-95 2V timing cover, and tensioner arms from an aluminum block 2V Explorer.

I need more money.

So I should just pick up another romeo block and stick with that?

Wait a minute, what's wrong with your current block?

Bischoff · January 17th, 2012, 08:40 PM

Nothing I'm just not going to take it apart and build from ground up so I still have something to drive

the weight is a plus, but if you are worried about strength theres nothing to worry about with your block
