[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 15394007, member: 20202"] Agree, that is a rather general statement. A better choice of a word would have been "cheaper" I was referring more to the GT500 then a Lightning both which could use a better set of rods. The major cost difference happens when you score a cylinder on a linerless block compared to a iron or aluminum mod motor which can take 3 overbores. A new Trinity block which Ford considers to be "non-serviceable" will set you back $6000 alone (unless you sleeve it which comes with it's own set of problems) which would cover the entire cost of a mod motor rebuild. You can pull a Romeo block out of a wrecking yard if needed. A Trinity block will never be found in one of those places. The Trinity guys have already figured this out very few will stretch their engines as far as the guys with the 4.6 and 5.4's will. I'm afraid the new GT500 will be following in the same footsteps :nonono: [/QUOTE]
