Nothing like windowing a block. Been there before. Not the best feeling in the world.
I ran a 10.47 @ 136 mph personal best then sent a rod through the side of the block two weeks later. I am currently building a forged short block as soon as the machine shop is done honing and line boring my block.

Yes sir, Gen 1 Coyote blues. 2012 Roush stage 3 with a 79mm pulley making around 680-700 rwhp. I am building a new motor with an MMR forged rotating assembly, ARP everything and a new Gen 1 block from Ford Performance.
Nice time, sorry about the engine letting go. Are you e85 or 93 pump?Yes sir, Gen 1 Coyote blues. 2012 Roush stage 3 with a 79mm pulley making around 680-700 rwhp. I am building a new motor with an MMR forged rotating assembly, ARP everything and a new Gen 1 block from Ford Performance.

I almost did the Gen2 but after talking to my tuner I decided to put good rods and pistons in it. The block will be the weak point now since its not sleeved but it should last a good long time at around 850 rwhp.
I will say this, it doesn't pay to build it yourself anymore. I figured I would save around $1K building it myself but with all the little things you don't think of and the cost of machine work, its costing me as much or more than an Aluminator short block. In hind sight I would have just bought the Aluminator short block and probably had my car back on the road a month ago. I haven't even started assembly yet, still waiting on my brand new block to be line bored, honed and decked.
What did you run?
I finished my engine a few months ago and got it back in the car. Its running fantastic! I have about 2K miles on it so far. Too hot at the track for me, I will probably be back out there in Oct or so. View attachment 1588335 View attachment 1588336
Yeah I am thinking mid November also. The end of October now and still in the 90’s.
