Any side by side comparisons or pictures of a 15 vs 11-14 block? When will these 15 blocks be available for purchase? Will we be able to bolt our 13 heads to the 15 blocks? Goal is to find a block to hold more power than the current 11-14 blocks and not sleeve, thanks.

Why not sleeve? I don't think Ford will care to make block that can handle 1500+hp on an NA car making 435. I bet it'll cost less to sleeve it.

To my knowledge sleeved blocks cost $$$, our stock 11-14 blocks handle sub 1000rwhp. The whole goal here is to be able to handle more power and not have to spend $1000's on sleeveing along with the downtime while getting the job done.

Not sure about this but I believe they reinforced the water passages (the weak link on the previous blocks) around the cylinders.

The FRPP block is going to be the strongest unmodded Coyote block available. I'd start looking at that one if you want to build an engine.

Tasca told me they may have stopped production or something to that nature :( sucks if it holds true and FRPP Doesnt figure out whatever production issues they are having with it.

Could be. FRPP has been trying to get the Sportsman Coyote block to market for quite some time.
