Default Mystery block in 2001 Cobra**Pictures**

Mystery block in 2001 Cobra**Pictures**

Long story short original owner had the block replaced 20k miles ago because
of a knock. I bought it very cheap since it was non running due to a blown head gasket. Just trying to get some history on the block for future modifications.

He mentioned he ordered an aluminum block from Kar Kraft but It looks like they went out of business. Does anyone have any information on the blocks they could have made for this 2001 Cobra? Here are some pictures. Sorry best ones I had on hand

Looks like a Teksid to me by the ribs in the center of block.
WAP block dont have those ribs.
Thats what makes the Teksid block more stronger over the WAP block.

Teksid is the block you want to build, can handle tons of HP

Also a Teksid would have no hole here from what I have found out.
