im looking into buying the aluminator block but not sure what else i would have to buy in order to install it.... and i also noticed that there are 2 blocks the n/a block and the supercharger block....

if i want to supercharge my mach down the line will the n/a block require me to buy other stuff down the line or will i be fine???

n e help would be greatly appreciated thanx...

 

You would be better off building a shortblock off your current block. The aluminators are ok, but for the price you can build a MUCH better shortblock.

The difference is compression, if you plan on boost, stay in the 9.5:1 range with a 4v.

 

In my case I have a 99 GT auto tranny and would like to upgrade to a 4V engine. The Aluminator long block offered by FRPP seems like a very cost effective alternative to me.

In my case what is needed? I also plan on changing the tranny to a T-56 but on the long term. I'd like to keep my tranny and start with the engine.

Any suggestions?

 

Felen, what power level are you looking at? you will crack the aluminator block is you put normal 4v mounting bolts in it...the threads are deeper.
