Do you understand the difference between the italian teskid aluminum block and the cast iron run of the mill 2v block?
And not to wander off the beaten path but if you think that you can take any 4.6L block and throw some main studs on it and have a block that will handle 2000hp you are very mistaken.
My Mustang buddies have let me down today.

WHat's your definition of 'many'? Not trying to be a jerk, just clarifying. I haven't seen a single 600rwhp on a factory stock short block (aside from cam) on this site.
Then again, I haven't checked too much into the entire place, so I'm probably just putting a foot in my mouth.
On a side note, I could have sworn LSx have the same hyperUcrappy made rods/pistons as a mach/MGT. No? How do they handle that power level?

I may be wrong but doesn't the LS6 motor come with titanium rods? Highest pre-03/04 4.6 cobra motor that I knew of that put down over 600rwhp was a guy with a 98 cobra. Completely stock longblock he put down 603rwhp at 19psi out of a little s-trim. That's pretty impressive.

What a noob.......GM dips them in the river Styx, the same river achilles was. I thought everyone knew that.
I am just playing Bitemark, I don't know sh@# about ls motors.

I'm sorry but show me proof that a cast iron 2v block is stronger than a 4v aluminum one.

I guess you were part of the team at Ford that put a heavy *** brick..I mean block made out of iron in the 03 Cobra because it will take more abuse than the lighter aluminum one. I'm sorry but show me proof that a cast iron 2v block is stronger than a 4v aluminum one.

Fact is Ford new the alum block could handle the power of the 03/04 cobra setup. They went with the cast iron for the added insurance.

OK OK..we won't start that again.
Let me ask you........if someone told you you won a few thousand or several thousand dollars, would it matter or is it all the same?

Better check those hypereutectic pistons in your RX7 too, I hear they are really prone to breakage!!
