Reply to "373 engine build"

gandalfthegrayMember

George,

Which is the better block, SVO or Fontanna?

Also, I had been told that the aluminum engine is not very deirable as they tend to blow head gaskets easily do to the engine expanding and contracting often.

Any thoughts on this?

Would I be better off to start with any entirely different engin/heads?

I was thinking the aluminum was the better deal when I bought the car as it was lighter. It doesn't sound like there is any configuration that adds up to 373 cubic inches. It is possible the previous owner was not accurate.

I have never owned any Ford products before this, and have very little experience.

Thanks for the info. Hoping to do this engine thing right the first time!
