I am not new to the performance world, but I am new to Ford/Lincoln. Are all of the short blocks the same for the 3.9L V8's? I know there may be small differences, but will the heads bolt up to say an '06 block? I already know that no newer gen swaps are possible without a ton of cash, just looking to find a block with low miles, and most of the newer models have lower miles. Thank you for the reply. Quicker to get an answer this way. I know about the search button, not new to forums, lol. I have some stuff coming that will add some aftermarket support because most companies save their custom work in a library for future reference. I'm not going to post what I am doing yet because I do not know the results that they will produce. I'm not one to say HEY look what I'm doing, and then it fails epically. I am one to test, test, test, and then provide results. I am not new to engine building, but again Ford's are not my strong point. My life has been in Toyota. Mostly old school 7MGTE and 5MGE, so this is all new. Thank you for the replies in advance.
