[QUOTE="Ryushin, post: 7508834, member: 38551"] Okay, I want to resurrect this thread. I read about all the failures of the aluminator, mostly due to them not put the crank in right and other things lead me to believe that it's not the engine for me. Maybe the block is as strong as a teksid, maybe it's not. The Ford GT motor seems like a true racing motor. Oil squirters, two injectors per cylinder, etc. I've seen some gigantic horsepower numbers with this engine and I've never heard of a failure. Ford now makes a wet sump version of the engine: [url]http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=10443[/url] Considering I'm looking at running 180 mph plus for 90 miles or 30 minutes if you want to look at it that way, having an engine that can handle the abuse, keep cool, is paramount for me. I'm also going to take the brick that is our car to Bonneville. I want to crack cleanly into 210+ or better. With the extra displacement, cooling of aluminum, and turbo's, I feel I can get there. I feel, by the time I'm done, and 25-30K later, I should be there. Shelbyguy mentioned that there is problems with the accessories not facing the right direction. I wonder if the wetsump version of the block fixes those problems or not. I'm not sure. Does anyone have any experience in this new block, or should I start talking with the engine builders at this point? [/QUOTE]
