The new cylinder block is made from a modern grey iron alloy as used in current production engines. The new (included) Block, Crankshaft and Connecting Rods are re-engineered for strength and durability and manufactured in a modern factory that supplies OEM engine parts to many manufacturers.
The exterior is identical to an original cylinder block through the use of laser scanning. Ford drawing A-6015 was used to ensure that all surfaces and hole locations are identical to an original cylinder block so that original or new aftermarket parts can be used in the build process.
The interior is similar to a modern engine with 5 replaceable main and camshaft bearings, 17 pressure fed bearings, 2-inch diameter main bearings, large, streamlined intake ports, hard exhaust valve seats, and an off-the-shelf radial lip rear main seal.
