Ford racing now has what they call their generation two sportsman block. It is the best sportsman block yet. Much thicker main webs, pan rails, thicker deck. We have people making up to 900HP with the new block. It does have extra water holes in the deck for the N-351 heads and the Yates heads but these need to be blocked of with all other heads. It is only available in a 9.500 style with 2 bolt mains and the standard 3.000 main size like the production block. Makes a great block for a 408 to 427C.I. small block build up. You will see that the new block has more freeze plugs with freeze plugs on the front like the other Ford racing blocks. The new blocks sell for 1195.00 and are on back order till October 30th, this is what ford racing tells us because we keep them on order all of the time. Thanks, Keith Craft
