Please let me know if you have, or know someone that has, a Ford GT engine block, oil pan, and windage tray for sale. Thanks.

Call John Mihovetz at Accufab in California. (909) 930-1751 He almost certainly has the biggest collection of such parts outside of Ford. The parts you desire are unavailable from Ford?

I am fairly certain that some of the hardcore GT500 racers are sleeving 2011 and up 5.4 and 5.8 aluminum blocks (staying at 5.4L displacement).

Beyond the sleeves, are they not the same block?

I think these are plasma coated blocks, but the subject of sticking with sleeved blocks comes up often.

Has anyone put a 5.8L in an 05-06 GT? Just curious. I know there is the dry sump issue but it wouldn't surprise me if someone engineered one to work somehow.

The GT block is different from other 5.4 blocks, partly because of the dry sump, and partly because it was strengthened in certain areas.

Can't you dry sump the GT 500 blocks too?

I have converted wet sump big block Fords to dry sumps. Just takes $

I thought the 13-14 trinity blocks were almost the same as the GT, having the side piston oilers, and the cross bracing in the valley? The biggest difference was our iron selves, vs the plasma spun coating (and displacement of course).

I made this chart a few years ago. Not comprehensive...just the big differences.

I purchase a bunch of items from him and never had any issues. Highly recommend buying from Northwoodgt if you need something.

thanks for all the koodos! don't forget, I can always do better on pricing than what's on flea-bay due to all their fees I have to pay. thanks
