I gots a block question

keyba · April 14th, 2009, 08:54 PM

Ok i have been lookin for a while and cant seem to find a answer.

What is a Teksid Block, is it a company or a special kind of block.

moosenuk17 · April 14th, 2009, 09:34 PM

just the blocks that came out of the mark VIII...

keyba · April 14th, 2009, 09:36 PM

ahh ok are they better or somen. Because most of the ones i have seen where almost twice the price of a normal 4.6 block

mpboy · April 14th, 2009, 09:39 PM

Italy by Fiat subsidiary Teksid S.p.A.

You can find info online or in Sean Hyland's book. I'll try to find a link to that book.

Sean Hyland's book seems to give the best info on the Teksid block. Here's a summary:
4.6 Liter Ford Engine Cylinder Blocks

yes all had aluminum blocks, but no last year they used the teksid blocks was 98

mpboy · April 14th, 2009, 10:57 PM

the windsor is lighter than the teksid i think, but the teksid was stronger

Traidmarx · April 14th, 2009, 10:59 PM

yes the teksid blocks have been put in cars and held up to over 1000HP

keyba · April 14th, 2009, 11:25 PM

from what i read the windsor block is like 5 pounds lighter but will only handle about half the power
