[LaughingGT]

hey i was wondering i have been hearing that the block on a 2006 is aluminum is this tru or was that just a special order thing ???

[LaughingGT]

sweet thanks bro little tied up at work to look

 

[beejay31000]

everything im reading says they were all aluminum block and head. to save weight. they weigh 80-100lbs less than a 302/351

They are aluminum.

damn so i could just put in forged internals and let it roll hahaa

 

[Superstang21]

Pretty much..... But if I were you, since you rely on your car for transportation look into a crate motor with forged internals already in it. Then you could just transfer your stock heads or purchase some better flowing aftermarket heads. This way you can take your time, build it how you want it and minimize your down time. Heres an example of some crate engines but there are many more to choose from as you know...

well i wasent thinking of boosting it but most likly down the road i would hahaha what happened to his????

 

[Superstang21]

Save til we come off of cruise and buy the short block. Then we will go on surge and you can save for some bad ass heads. And you can store it at my house if you like just get it shipped here.

With forge internals and hitting the right gears you wont have a problem though

 

[LaughingGT]

im not making cruse with yall im gone in june

 

[Superstang21]

oh yeah... Extend for cruise...uh, I mean for a stroked 3 valve LOL!! I would have to agree with Beej though. Go for the new motor. You never know what your gonna get from the junk yard and they cant garuntee you that the block is not cracked nor will they have a clue if the car was abused ( besides the telephone pole stamp on the side)

[LaughingGT]

[Superstang21]
