Default Looking for 2003-04 Mach 1 Engine

Like the title says im Looking for 2003-04 Mach 1 Engine. Instead of building up my 2v v8 motor i want to swap out and put a Mach 1 in there. Looking to make around 900hp in my GT with my Novi 2000. So if you have seen a complete engine around anywhere, let me know.

the price on that is steep for the crate motor. I know it is cheaper than that. or if anyone sees a wrecked mach 1 somewhere, let me know

Take a look at the compression ratio as you may want something lower in order to run more boost.

Plus mach 1's have an aluminum block. In other words pull the pin on the granade. That motor has such a high compression for your setup.

I assume he wants an engine to overhaul for this project, as NO ford stock block will take 900 hp (and make it very long for you 03 humpers) SO, why dont you just build a teksid block, forged everything, and then get the 4v heads. Karkraft sells mach engines, so check there.

Um....Teksid block = Ford block (I should know. I have one in my 96 Cobra). The block can withstand 1000HP (flywheel), but the internals wont, besides the crankshaft (forged baby).
