[QUOTE="Boosted 03, post: 1570299, member: 16265"] Yes, you are correct. The 99 is still a Teksid block, but with some changes. Page 6 (SHM) "In 1999, Ford changed the main cap detail, eliminating the jackscrews that preloaded the side of the main cap. They also changed the width of the cap, and switched to a different side bolt with a higher torque value. The diameter for the knock sensor hole was also changed from M8x1.25 to M12x1.50. We simply drill and tap these holes if we are using the '99 block in an earlier chasis. The part number for the '99 block is XR3Z-6010-CA." This is a quote from SHM guide to building a 4.6 engine by CARTECH. [/QUOTE]
