I'm currently working out of town and am posting from a single man's camp , So I cannot contact Ford.Could anyone tell me if it's possible to buy a brand new bare block only. No crank, rods etc? I'm looking to start building a new forged bottom end so I don't really want to buy a complete short engine and then only have to strip the unwanted bits out. I have considered buying a second hand block. They are few and far between and reasionably costly also. Everyone seems to just want to sell Long or complete engines.Any help greatly appreciated...Cheers Brad Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49101-can-you-buy-brand-new-block-not-a-short/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
