there should be heaps around at the wreckers mate, try here for a start http://www.ftgautosalvage.com.au/Default.asp

these engines are also in the HO varient called the F6 or typhoon or tornado in case you didnt know... but youll probably pay a premium for an engine out of these cars for no gain if your building it up anyways...

Ok, I sent another request to FTG for a NA motor. They responded with a quote for a turbo motor, but it was too expensive for me to just tear it down. So I hope ill hear something soon....

Thanks for all your help so far guys.. Hopefully ill have a motor here before the end of July.

I am changing the pistons and rods so, I only need a good long block to work with.

The motor will be tuned with either my old Tec3 R or maybe a Motec if I can afford it.

I was a little unsure about the crank journal size and the way the cam timing was controlled. I think I read somewhere that some of the blocks had smaller crank journals and I think one of the heads has completely variable cam timing?

The heads themselves are basically the same, the only difference was from BF (Oct 05) Onwards they went to a fully independant cam system, whereas the original ones (02-05) were phased off each other.

The barra heads flow quite well, and most people have reached big HP with standard cams.

:spoton:

yeah after 05 they went to independant cam timing, if you can't find a block I can probably get you a price on the NA motor complete new from Ford, I work for a dealership over here. I don't think you would have too much trouble finding one though, there are alot of them around

Dont forget the turbo motor has Inconel Valves which the NA does not.
