Default Where can I get a block?

Where can I get a production 4.6 3V alum engine block? I´m not looking for the shortblock, just the pure bare aluminum block.

Any1 know where can I find one? or someone selling theirs?

And for how much does the bare block should go for?

Are the explorer 3V V8 engines the same blocks as the mustangs?

Thanks

Get the karkraft.com NA, the same casting that comes with the 07's, is like the aluminator.

Thanks sawyer, just interesting in knowing for how much does the stock production block goes for and where can I find one

When I was pricing a few months ago 1100 seemed to be the going rate. I would assume MMR has done some machine work already so that may account for the extra$$.

I have a Brand new Ford aluminum block I would be willing to part with. The new prices tend to be anywhere from 1100-1400. Probably since they keep getting holes blasted in them with boost like mine did. 2 RODS, one though the top and one through the side.

If interested pm or email me at emspower3@aol.com

I bought it new but ended up going with an iron block for a little more strength for my high boost.
