Reply With QuoteI have some contacts that would know. I wonder if they are going to use the Blue Thunder BB head with the Chevy exhaust port. . .would make the choice of exhaust much easier.
Does anyone have the details on this motor, where and how much?
I've picked up a few tid-bits of info but nothing crediable enough to make some decisions on. Is Roush making these blocks?

I must be living under a rock....what new BBF? Aftermarket block? Details!!! we need details. And pics if ya got 'em.
AT Francis is who I have called, he would know about any BB Ford project
Are you talking about the blocks that Eliminator Performance products are making.

Thanks for the link...Heard something about the co. but never looked into it. The sunlight hurts my eyes after living under that rock for so long
A client of mine called up asking me about them and told me that someone said "I" would know about these blocks. Well I stood there sort of buzzed trying to figure out what in the hell he was talking about. Then after a conversation with a Ford guru friend of mine in Coon-ass country, sat there and told me more about them. Sad thing is I can't pick-up Lousiana ubonics so I didn't get much note taking out of it
The only link I could come up with is from Flat Lander Racing. Apparently they have a block that Roush is making for BBF. The cubes are out of the world when stroked right...
It's not like we needed any more torque with a BBF
Here are some website resource notes I found online:
