Jpit. I emailed the gent with the Silver ERA FIA .. had to find out more about his motor. He bought the drive train for about $8500 then had the motor disasembled, polished, ported, done by a West Coast Ford motor guru. (Craig Blood and Dave Bliss .. apparently build motors for some real speed machines

The block is one of the early 1996 vintage blocks .. these were cast IN ITALY by TEKSIO ... the same company that casts the aluminum blocks for Ferrari. The car - on a chassis dyno tuner - put 320 hp down to the rear wheels. Pretty slick. Very drivable SVT cam set up - stock cam, valves and crank that came with the motor for the Mustang Cobra ... just everything balanced and polished. SWEET!!! A really neat motor with some cool history .. designed for the Mustang Cobra .. aluminum block ... cast in Italy in a real specialty shop. I like it a lot!!!
