WTB Teksid Block

[map22]

Like the title states, I am looking for a Teksid block for my latest project. Shoot me a pm if anyone has any leads on one in good shape. Thanks!

Would a 93 Lincoln mark 8 have one in it?

[map22]

I'm pretty sure the 93-98 Mark 8 used the same block as the 96-98 Cobras. The part number should be F6LZ-6010-AB.

I have heard that the early Mark 8 blocks were weaker, but I don't know how true that is. Is someone able to give insight on that?

My neighbor had one a few years back in his junk yard.. It was still in the car so all I can do is ask if he still has it

[PaxtonShelby]

Wouldn't an F6xxxx part number indicate a 1996 casting date?

Cx = 196x

Dx = 197x

Ex = 198x

Fx = 199x

I bet Ares can provide some input as he is building a nasty teksid motor for his car.

I have been reading trough the Sean Hyland book. That's the part number it states, but I would assume Digit #2 changes with the year and he just gave '96 as an example.

Could be - I just didn't want you think the '93 block wouldn't work just because it had a "3" in the second spot.

I talked to my neighbor today, he's not sure if he has it or not... Going to look

Pretty sure mine is out of a '95 Mark8. Can get pic of p/n later.

Edit:
Ok this is on outside of block. Cast in 10/94

Thanks. Are you aware of the early Teksid's being weaker or is this just a myth I've heard. I haven't been able to find any other block part numbers to compare.

Honestly I never heard of that. Just avoid the Lincoln Continental Teksid. That is a front wheel drive setup and the block is different.

Also the aluminum WAP block. About 5 lbs lighter, not as strong but can be found in later Mountineer's and Explorers.

[RUTHLESS]

In my opinion if our not building a 1000hp engine I would spend the time and money looking for the strongest teksid block. They are getting hard to find and that is pushing the cost up.

It might have been something i took out in the wrong context.

I appreciate the input.
