Is this the original 4.6 block off the 3v or 2v

Stanggang

  • Hey Stanggang, This block is of its own creation to be applied to those modular 4.6 motors so its not necessarily based off any of them. But its meant for any 96-2010 mustang that came with the modular 4.6.

I see this engine is built for 4.6 engines. I have an 06 3 valve. I see above where you advised to have heads port patched and to check for clearance. Which heads are recommended for this block if not factory heads?

So, is the block used for this the m-6010-BOSS50? If so, good option, but where is the specification information regarding pistons, rods and crank, etc. used.? I was considering buying the aforementioned bare block, but this might be a faster/more efficient way to go.

KELDOG

  • This block is the same as the Boss block, but it is simply bored out. The crankshaft is forged steel with a 3.750 inch stroke. The connecting rods are forged steel H beams that are 5.850 inches. The pistons are a forged aluminum dish.

    Perfect

    Bought this as a swap out for my car. Can't describe the power with the setup I have but it is a true bang for your buck if you have the extra cash and time to turn this block into a powerhouse!
