I just spoke to Steve, he told me that it is rated around 700 RWHP, but mentioned that he has seen this exact bottom end handle close to 1000 RWHP safely!

haha there is no such thing as 1000rwhp safely unless it's a train

does anyone know the compression ratio on these motors.. i know that you cant get them anymore.. but i need to know what the compression is for them.

The FRPP GT500 block will work in the L, just gotta pop out the plug on the back of water pump. My brother ordered one last week and got it already!

FORDSVTPARTS - Can you let me know what the part number is to the coolant fitting?

Yeah but the internals have been known to hold those power levels given proper tuning and enough fuel.

With a bad tune you'd be lucky to make 400 regardless of how good the internals are.

To the top lets hear more feedback

Damn, all gone before I even bought my truck!

It may be possible to hold that kind of power BUT for how long?
I bought one of these S/Bs and haven't completed my build yet but I'm sure it will turn out well.
I don't plan on making anymore than 600 rwhp and this will handle it.
It would have been nice to have some ARP main studs and the ARP2000 connecting rod bolts though.
Again, for the price, Im very pleased.

The GT500 version is still available, just change the coolant fitting behind the water pump

Otherwise, its the same motor:thumbsup:

 

[svteezy]

wow i am going to check on my funds cause i need that short block. i may be calling you really soon i hope. how long does it take once it is ordered to receive the block? located in Mississippi

 

[FORDSVTPARTS]

As long as they are in stock at FRPP, you can have one in under a week.

 

[vjay88]

Anyone have an update on how their block is handling whatever they throw at it.

 

[Z7What]

My brother just got finished making his into a long block and will be installing it soon! He would be pushing it to its limits though. He will be running, ported heads, stock cams, ported blower, 6# lower and maybe a little smaller upper.

[MJG]

Sorry, he won't be pushing it to its limits?

 

[Z7What]

Sorry, he won't be pushing it to its limits?

What i mean by it is that the motor will handle ALOT more than what power he will be making after its all said and done.

Yes I have the L specific FRPP block, just was a little thrown by the way you worded it.

I should be in the 550 mark on this S/B in a couple months and I will update.

I will say my s/b had a backwards installed piston which I had to resolve.

Did you do the fix yourself or did Ford come through (highly doubtful) ?
