My 00 GT motor was a windsor motor and was an automatic and to the best of my knowledge was a 8bolt crank.

Mine and Matt's answers match with about 90% accuracy.

I agree with Nathan on the mach1 components.

Yes, Nathan is correct.

I read they were unique in MM&FF.

...if you call 800+ hp a "little weak". That's what I've heard they were good for. Sean Hyland reports using them for 600hp engines.

It is referred to as a WAP(Windsor Auto Plant?) block and most 01's have them. The 99 and some early 01's have the Teksid block which was cast in Italy I think and is good for more HP. The teksid block is supposedly good to well over 1000hp.

Heads are leftovers from the days of 4.9L I-6 engines, custom cut and ground to fit the 4.6. Cams come from 2.3 Tempo/Topaz engines, and the intake is from the Cobra R.

That's a '95 Cobra R, retro-fitted to a 4.6L.

The powdered metal rods and hyperpathetic pistons can make 800+ HP, but the first time you rattle them, BOOM! Ringland failures are the most common issues. Its not what they can make, its how long they can make it.

Teksid block was cast in Italy. All 99, 00, and the early 01's recieved the block. The blocks have been used to well over 1200 HP without any issues.

Hum that is cool. I have done work for Teksid. They cast blocks, heads, and intakes here in Alabama.
