Question Which engine etc...?

Hi all,

I am nearing the point where I am going to order my shiny new engine. I have decided to go for a 331, which seems well suited for the road. My question is this...

Are there any requirements in terms of age, or spec that I must comply with for IVA. Is there a preferred age of block I should go for etc etc...

Thanks for you help

Graham.

Re: Which engine etc...?

I can't speak to the IVA requirements - but if it's in the budget and you're planning on tracking the car, I would look into Ford Racing's new BOSS block. Otherwise a Mexican block (noted by Hencho Mexico in the lifter valley)..



The Triple-X 5.0 Roller block is a little beefier than most of the other 5.0 blocks from what I've observed looking at the bottoms of the cylinder walls as they jut into the crankcase.
