in that case i recommend a high bypass CF-6-50 if your goin that route. flat rated 52,500 lbs of thrust.

and yes, i agree, with all the recommended options for a 600 rwhp motor, a 900 seems cheaper... but those blocks typically dont include those options either so its not really comparing apples to apples. how was the price on the MPH block? i hear they no longer exist (websites down)?

and i wonder, how much can one get for a stock 4.6 shortblock?

Flywheel isn't necessary, but it will cost at least $50 to resurface the stocker anyways. You can find cheap deals on aluminum flywheels if you shop around.

I was under the impression that automatic transmissions dont have clutches, is this an exception on a mustang?
