Between this and pushrod 7.3, is ford going backwards?
I feel like this is going to be like the Boss block for the modular guys. The weight addition wasn't really worth it with the Teksid blocks being ridiculously strong. The Gen3 blocks are really strong. I'm not sure what the billet blocks are going for either, but that's another consideration.

For a street car yes.. But for a drag car that is trying to get a certain weight distribution front to rear it's not that easy.Throw 1500hp at it and see what shakes loose. I like it though. 80lbs is a lot, but just deal with it. Put a little extra toe and size a smaller front sway bar, run a tubular crossmember.

While this thing is badass and all some of us lowly 4.6 guys would absolutely love a new cylinder block option other then the 5.0 iron boss block that has head gasket issues under high boost.
And crank walking without hella expensive machining mods.
Crank walk? I've never heard about that regarding this block. Now the old 5.0 blocks a little but not the modular based 5.0 block.
When it first dropped the big HP guys were talking about it on other sites.
This is the first I've ever heard of cap walk with that block. I know many were having issues with head gasket sealing issues at high boost.
No I am not saying it's BS but I dont see how it would be an issue as it uses the same cap arrangement as the standard 4.6 and that's rock solid.
