Why dont you try and find a brand new FG short motor.. It will handle the power you want..

LOLWUT @MUZz1984@ Agree with @arronm for a cost effective solution regarding a new FG short is ~$3500 and can happily sit in the 500rwkw area as is Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93848-fg-engine-rebuild/page/2/#findComment-1655451 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque plate bored & honed , file back rings straighten crankshaft (!) plaz valve springs, ford exhaust valves & head gasket & new heat exchanger.

4321 Bronze Donating Members 257 Member For: 11y 1m 21d Posted 12/05/18 07:25 AM Author Share Posted 12/05/18 07:25 AM It's in & running fine, started at 5am this morning & in & running at 1.30! dropped the whole lot out the bottom & changed every thing over to the new engine. That went smooth but changing the radiator- what a crap job (worse than BA_BF) have pics will upload later. Thanks for all the advice! 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93848-fg-engine-rebuild/page/2/#findComment-1657192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked them up for $1300. There are bargains out there..... 4 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93848-fg-engine-rebuild/page/2/#findComment-1657253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
