Ford Werewolf Iron Block

Not according to the gentleman in the video. Start at 6:37.

Make your own choice, the choice that meets your needs. Sleeving a gen2 block does not address the remaining issues that the iron block does.

Very good reply.

This won’t be for everyone, pretty much aimed at top-hp racers, but I would luv to get one of these and build a proper high-hp twin-turbo engine for that retirement project car I am planning. Hopefully enough years ahead to get all the parts together before I start that one.

‘Not doing other for any other reason than luv for engines. Don’t worry, my Missus has realised long ago I have a few nuts and bolts missing ;)

Also sleeves seem to de-value an iron block. Like it's been hurt and repaired. Sleeve a coyote and it's the best! Nevermind the issues that may come along with a sleeved alum block.

Iron may be a cheaper raw material but you have to factor in the R&D that went into this and that it will be a relatively low quantity product for ford. To me the price reflects how strong the block really is. Pretty crazy something with OEM RELIABILITY can handle low 7 high 6 second 1/4 mile horsepower levels (1500-2000hp).

Exactly.

I'll just stick with my $850 unsleaved Gen 3 and hope for the best LOL.

Thicker main caps and new supports all throughout the block gonna make it a decent amount heavier but straight out of the box handle a lot of power

I didn't notice that main caps were any thicker.
