| | | Blue, do you have a budget in mind?
I have some suggestions I can offer but I always think it's a good idea to start with your financial commitment first so you can evaluate the best plan moving forward.

| | | I have a Shop for you! I have a suggestion!
I've personally been dealing with Ford Performance Solutions now for over 10 years maybe even longer and they can help you in every way possible. The person to talk to is Troy Bowen the owner and he can literally work around any budget possible. I don't want you to get the wrong idea but I don't work with him just known him for a long time and Troy is about the fairest guy out there Troy is building my 2003 cobra motor doing all sorts of goodies to it, also he has also built me my last 5 different combinations as well as all my many friends as well.
Troy's number at Ford Performance solutions is 714-773-9027, I hope this helps you out!!

| | | I don't really know what my budget is. I want a good solid short-block which will last a long time. I guess I could spend up to $5000 but I want something I can grow with.
What kind of blocks do you guys think i should go with?

| | | Yes, boost will be increased to about 12 psi. I still want to be able to run 92-93 octane pump gas in non track conditions.
I am looking forward to hearing your recommendations
