[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 16340727, member: 20202"] The only strike against the Boss 5.0 iron block was the 3.700" bore and it's ability to hold boost which plagues any engine with thin margins between the bores. CAT600 was running 25 lbs thru a Boss engine but is not something I would do. As for the block itself it's basically a Teksid block cast in iron and way beefier than the Romeo. The mod motors including the Romeo block hold up pretty well under high hp and can be re-bored which is not the case with the coated coyote block. Just looking at the casting that Werewolf block looks brutally strong this would be a hot ticket for anyone looking for a high hp street car you would want to put a lot of miles on I would take this over the factory block in a heartbeat. The weight hit is nothing to rejoice about. The Teksid block weighed 85 lbs, the Romeo block weighed 153 and the Boss block 159 and the tall 5.4 block weighed 190. I don't think the Warewolf block will weigh 90 lbs that puts it in the 5.4 territory. The basic coyote engine had a lot of nice features over the Mod Motor especially with regard to venting/windage and flow restrictions around the water pump. The problem is the early engines had a lot of structural issues and when thru several revisions to correct the problems. For me the "knife in the chest" for this engine was the linerless cylinder treatment which is considered "unserviceable". The though of throwing a perfectly good (and expensive) block with a scored cylinder into the dumpster is absolutely crazy. This new block address that problem and is very appealing. They should put this in the F-150 the durability of iron is hard to beat. With all the talk of electrification at Ford it's encouraging to see them make this move. I've heard rumors of an all electric GT500 which for me would be a sad story if they stopped putting internal combustion engines in the Mustang. Can't wait to see the finished product. Hope fully it won't be $6K. I paid $900 for a Boss block that was a "steal". [/QUOTE]
