I'm not bothered if it's original just need a block the big horse power it seems to have small core plugs and I've read some thing about extra web on top alternator bolt?

Ok.
If the block is intact, it will take reasonable power.
I was under the impression there where also ford made motorsport replacement ones that had no stamps on them? Bit confusing all this lol may stick too a 200 block
I guess that's the luck of the draw mate rod used a 500 block as I be leave it's stronger
That's sort of what I was getting at so cost dependant why not just buy a 200 block as I can imagine there a lot cheaper than a gen 500 block?
Why not ask the tuner who is going to be building the motor what they would suggest? Not a dig but through past experience picking someone reputable and using them from start to finish normally saves a lot of time and hassle along with lots of money even if it looks more expensive in the first place

I'd be asking Mark then if this block is good for what you need then you will get a simple straight answer of yes or no rather than a load of bellends arguing over weather its genuine, fake, Turkish, irish or any other bollox

I no what your saying bud I can pick through the junk just wanted to know if it is a 500 / motorsport 500 block. I'm in too minds now as this block is on a 94mm bore and the liners I'll be using are just over 94.5 so thinking I may just look for a standard 200 to save messing about
That was on ebay, its honed to fuck and decked for a n/a build.
Says nothing about being decked and is bored to 92.8 but he says there's damage to a bore and it needs boring to 94mm not sure why lol any way the liners I'll be using are just over 94.5 so I may still go look at it

Deck height will be needed to be checked.It should be over skimmed.
Sorry, i thought the add said it had been decked by quite an amount. May be thinking about two different adds.
I have a 205 block thats been lined, i was advised that the heat transfer between the two materials can create problems. So i used a different block and oversized pistons.
On the other hand i've also been told that reylands Nikasil Liner Conversion is the ultimate thing to have.
Either way its Ideal now as i have a spare bottom end just in case
