I can not answer you question , need more information on pistons , part number etc they look similar as do the rods but with out 100% knowledge of measurements its unknown.

for an aluminator , I guess similar to my situation in australia. currency conversion and shipping cost and import tax up to 40% and it just doesn’t add up.
being in Bulgaria the exchange is only .54c Usd , would easy end up being $20,000+ LEV just for a short block.
I wish I could have just brought a long block , but cost was just impractical for me. I can get a built motor and turbo it for the cost of an imported aluminator. More hassle , but 1/2 the cost for me personally. I’m getting to learn a lot about the car as well with I enjoy.

Same goes for me, it will be too expensive to import a short block. So I'm buying thr pistons, doing mmr guiders, boss 302 tensioners, I have all the crank support done already, thinking of timing chains and gasket suggestions? Also I think is 100% to get the heads machined to make sure they are flat prior installing them again correct?

Have you got the engine out yet and pistons removed ?? how does the bore look ?

I would get a used f150 shortblock for almost nothing and throw it in there. It will lower your compression and be safer with the supercharger

Good suggestion with the lower compression block, it's just hard to find anything coyote related in Europe, especially in my country.. decided going with mahle pistons, compstar rods, tensioners, guides, bearings all that stuff and add meth injection as a safety net for the 93

Nice You will have a great engine and get Plenty of fun out of it

? The shortblock should be nearly identical, so if you're using the same cylinder heads the compression should be the same
