Worth it or not, simply answering with the least possible info (like such info found on FB) should NOT be what a forum is about. Detailed info is seeked and shut down by lame simple undescribed info. Being more detailed with a response might look like this to the OP question.... Yes, from what...

The "build foundation" thread is not a good representation to the OP question. That thread in particular was focused on engine block strengths and nothing to do with internals. The only useful info about block strengths was simple observations of what everyone else has built and that being MSR...

Awesome info! Fantastic research and development! Keying a crankshaft and matching sprocket wouldn't be difficult at all for me. Unrelated question.....Are all the ecoboost crankshafts the same material? Cast or forged?

Thanks for that investigative observation! Its info like this that shows the obvious. My point of the thread is to reveal the possibilities of what the manufacture has offered and if the manufacture produced a more desirable "beefier" block. Thats the direction I want to go. Given the amount of...

Great info! Thanks for being detailed!

You are correct! A simple marketplace search for either 2.3l or 2.5l i find that the 2.5l are plentyful are typically cheaper than the 2.3l. For whatever reason why, who knows.

Naw, good straight to the point info! Keep it coming! And your info may help the reader in determining a direction to take, but this threads purpose is to collaborate as much info possible for those wanting to build a strong foundation block. In example, with all the years these engines were...

Cruising around on other forums learning what I can regarding the Mazda L engine, Duratec, and Ecoboost engines I found myself on the Miata forums and here is some good info. This thread is about the differences between the 2.5 engine that both Ford and Mazda made from 2009-2016. Obviously...

Oh yeah! You got your car lookin right! Nice work! Hey them fender rollers work out real good! I bought mine, rolled the fenders on my 96 mustang and i havent touched it since. You got me thinking tho....maybe i need to look at my speeds tire fender clearance a little closer

Thanks for the welcomes and whalecum.

Hey, thanks for the replys! All and any info is appreciated! Im looking for specifics. For example " the MZR block has thicker mains" "thicker webings" or "the block deck surface is 12mm thicker" or "it has thicker wet sleeves".....things like that. I really want to find out if the mzr blocks...

Trying to verse myself with the ford/mazda duratec platform, i keep reading that a 2.0l or 2.5l block is a better start than trying to source a 2.3l speed specific engine. My question is, is this the same idetical block? Are ecoboost engine blocks considered the same? .....If it were you...

Hey gang! I just signed up. Ive been a car nut as far as i can remember. Im normally a mustang enthusiasts, but have always loved hot hatches and now that the kids have grown and dont have to be with the wife and i all the time, i traded my Ford Transit connect(AKA a big ford focus) in for a...
