94pacecarSVT · August 3rd, 2008, 02:35 AM

is the block in the 96-98 gt's different from the 99-04 block?

DeMello · August 3rd, 2008, 02:45 AM

you asking just about the block or about the heads and cams as well?

yojoe600 · August 3rd, 2008, 02:47 AM

i think the block is the same

SWEET2KSTANG · August 3rd, 2008, 02:47 AM

block alone, not really. there are the windsor and romeo castings. that all that i can think of off the top of my head.

94pacecarSVT · August 3rd, 2008, 03:32 AM

im just talking bout the block. i have the 96 block and i think i may have cracked the block thats in the car which is a 2000 block...whats the difference, and can i use the block from the 96?

SWEET2KSTANG · August 3rd, 2008, 08:27 AM

Just out of curiosity, why do you think you cracked the block?

99mustanggtman · August 3rd, 2008, 12:35 PM

If your using the 96 in your 2000 you'll notice a slight compression bump

94pacecarSVT · August 3rd, 2008, 03:10 PM

how much of a compression bump? i was thinkin about just gettin a new motor from vt if its cracked cause i have another vehicle now and i can let the mustang sit while i save up money.

99mustanggtman · August 3rd, 2008, 08:41 PM

goodluck on getting a motor from vt

Dude sweet, I can get just a block from a 96 and raise the compression ????

J/K

You will only see a increase if you use the pistons from the 96......

yojoe600 · August 3rd, 2008, 09:03 PM

with the pistons from the 96 and the PI heads, you should see about 10.5:1 compression...

If you use a whole short block yes. The dish in the top of the pistons isnt as large as the ones in the 99-04s I believe. MM&FF I believe did a write up on it. Putting the PI heads and intake boosted the compression
