Teskid Block Bore

[DTRMiguel]

I think i have been reading correctly that our motors can only be bored up to a 5.4L 330Ci??? But i read a Teskid Block can be bored out more... Does anyone know the displacement it can be bored to? :help:

I wasn't aware that the 4.6 could be bored to 5.4... do you mean bore + stroke?

In deed. What is the Max bore on our 4.6? I thought teskid was a thicker block and could be bored more :confused:

I don't think that would be true, the space between the cylinders is the same for all the mod motors...

I hope you get to your automotive school soon. :flamer: You can only bore the sleeve not the block. Most machine shops will bore anywhere between .010 to .030 in. depending on the application. You will need a stroker kit to gain more displacement.

Well can u bore a teskid more/higher than our motor? :rolleyes:

First of all if you find a good used Teskid block you will need to hone the cylinders and have it fitted for pistons. Ask you builder about stroker options.

For general purposes (GP) you should not stroke any 4.6 further then 300cid. Not may stroker kits on this site. Their are some pro's and con's to stroking. Use google to do your home work or Modular Fords.

No. The 4.6 block with a stroker and sleeves can only go to a 5.3, not a 5.4
The 4.6 block with a stroker crank will go to about 5.0
The 4.6 block with 3.70" sleeves will go to about 5.0 or 5.1 with a stock stroke
The Teksid block is no different in dimensions than our block, it is just stronger
Wet sleeves are not a good idea on a street car
Dry sleeves can only handle low boost levels or NA
Best way to go for a big bore or big bore/stroker is the Boss5.0 cast iron block

biggest Con I've had with the bore+stroke is the instant torque :D

Stock 4.6:
3.552" bore (90.2mm)
3.543" stroke (90mm)

Most you can bore it is @ .02" = 3.58" bore
The biggest sleeve you can put in it is a 3.70" (94mm)
The bore limit is dictated by the small cylinder bore spacing (100mm).
You can buy stroker cranks in 3.70, 3.75, 3.80" strokes.

Biggest street 4.6* you can get is:

3.70" bore x 3.80" stroke = 327 cid = 5.36 Liters

* BUT that is pushing it in a sleeved engine!
Those long throw stroker cranks start to put some serious side loads on the cylinder bores/sleeves.
I'm NOT a fan of replacing an aluminum block with a cast iron block,
but if I were going Big bore + Stroker...
Like Brian said: Use a 'BOSS' 3.70" bore cast iron block!
(It is NOT sleeved)

BTW: I have a TEKSID block in my garage...I was going to keep it for future projects...:D....But I'm now thinking about selling it.
Anyone interested?

I'd have to get the block I have machined anyway.....

I suppose I could sell the complete short block I have.....
