Default New Boss Block Questions

1. Does it have good enough cooling to use on the street and are the water passages going to line up with your typical trick flow street heads?
2. Do we know what it's limitations are as far as how much horsepower it can handle before spliting or walking any of the main caps?
3. Do you know about how much it will cost to get it machined to be ready for full assembly?

Any info will be appreciated.
Thank You,
Matt

Oh and one more question.

4. Does the new boss block allow for a roller cam and if not does the man o war block allow for a roller cam?

NEW QUESTIONS

1. Does the new boss block require machining to accept a roller cam, or will it take a roller cam out of the box?

2.I saw that it says it uses common od cam bearings. What does that mean?

Ford dealer guy told me 'no machingimng needed.
Common cam bearings refers to 5.0 production sixes...

ya dont these these things come finish honed for std bore pistons? i suppose you may need a touch hone depending on exactly which pistons your using and what grit finish you need based on your ring selection, but its already decked and line honed

Don't quote me, but I read in the a past issue of MM & FF that the block came with a under bore and a heavy deck and need to machined. I will try and look it up.
