Which is the better engine.
I was told by the guys at Ford Racing that the eight digit in my VIN number tells me exactly what type of block I have. My eight digit is a "X" and that means its a Windsor block according to the techs at Ford Racing. Which is the better block, a Windsor or the Romeo block?

i've seen this question posted on a few f150 boards. there's alot of variation in the answer but i think the windsor has a better rep.

there both 4.6L, if there is any difference is probably just manufacturing variability not anything by design

I also have an X for an engine code. It's ROMEO! At least mine is. It depends on your year.

Man, I am so confused at this point. Ford Racing said "X" is the windsor block and they did say that it depended on te year, I remember that now. Im really no longer concerned with it. They are the same blocks with different names.

Neither block is better than the other. I see in your sig that you have a 02. It's a Romeo.
