So basically you want a new complete short block. I would call DSS in St. Charles and see what there built shortblocks go for. Also I would use your block and crank and just get some good rods and pistons put in. Your motor is a 4 bolt main with a forged crank.

you could find a used mach 1 engine (32v 4.6L) or a 99-01 cobra engine (same 32v 4.6L)

have it built up with some new internals and have it balanced and blueprinted (if u bought a used engine).

Then go get a blower or turbo it!

Not trying to knock DSS but I would not go will them. I and many others have had problems.

If you're looking for real power down the road do NOT give up your Teksid block. All the '99+ aluminum blocks are known to be weaker then the Teksid ('96-'98) blocks.

Get it rebuilt. I probably wouldn't go with DSS based on problems others have had. They're not local, but Modular Powerhouse in Atlanta did an excellent job on my engine. Shipping a short block is really not that much of an issue.

try modularmustangracing.com they have a shortblock that they say can hold 900 hp for 2800

That MMR shortblock is cast iron.
