Waste of money, I'd just get the B302 from Brenspeed.
I like Brent, he tunes my car,but Ford Racing would get my money between these two shortblocks. Id get the non-supercharged higher compression block and just supercharge it. Run less boost with my lil 2.4 on higher compression.

Those parts were floating around ebay awhile ago. I bought one of the b kits for my build. Stock stroke Manley rods, cp pistons and rings for $739 shipped. Won't see a deal like that come around again any time soon. They do have Saleen written on them, I suppose that's worth a few hp by itself 
OP, what are your plans for the block? Or are you just in research mode right now?

the OP has listened to all opinions and has made his choice and a good one it is. 
the A281 > B302

I was thinking along the same lines.. I have bought several things from Brenspeed and really turst them but if I could get a factory forged block from Ford for a decent price i'd probably go that route. I wonder if someone used a forged Ford block, whipple blower, and had a ford dealership do the install would the factory 30k 3 year warranty still remain?

Before Zkiller posted I had the same thought. I wouldn't minded either block but it will come down to which one is better for my wallet and if they are pretty close it will most likely be the Ford block..
