Strength of 96-98 Cobra Block????

[99StangGTTN]

I am going to build a new engine possibly a stroker. I talked to somebody that has a 97 cobra aluminum block. I was wondering if these blocks are good for strokers if not how high of horsepower could I take it since it will be supercharged.m n

+1 I know someone that recently built the engine in his 97 cobra. He called Sean Hyland and they told him they've built engines with that block that dynod 1400 hp. Do what you will with it my friend.

You won't blow a teksid block, youll throw a rod or fry a piston far before youll blow the block.

Awesome. It is a Teksid block. Well I guess I better grab that one up.

[uberstang1]

Is he selling you a barebones block, or a shortblock with crank, rods, etc. and what are you paying for it.

[99StangGTTN]

It is a Teksid Block and heads for $100. No crank, rods or pistons. I don't need them because I will be buying all of that stuff new anyway.
