Once again, Fordstrokers is pleased to announce an awesome addition to our current product offerings. Now available, completely machined, ready to assemble Man-O-War Blocks. These blocks have some really awesome features I would like to point out. These blocks are completely machined in house at Fordstrokers.Check the long list of features, and you can see why these world products blocks are the best choice for serious horsepower applications.

Block Applications: The Man O’War blocks are designed to be a replacement for the small block Ford one piece seal applications, with dipstick located
in timing cover. On rear pan seal it will be necessary to snip off nubs on ends of gasket so that it will fit flush against block.
Block Material: High density Cast iron / 357 T6 Aluminum
Deck Height: IRON 8.200, 9.200 or 9.500 / ALUMINUM 8.200, 9.500 (depending on part number)
Deck Thickness: Approximately .600
Cam Bearings: Standard Small Block Ford Cam bearings
Main Bearings: Utilizes 2.248 or 2.749 Ford style main bearings. (Depending on main size of block) All blocks regardless of main journal size utilize a one
piece rear main seal such as a Mr. Gasket #30 (for 2.248 size) or Mr. Gasket #31 (for 2.749 size) or equivalent.
Main Caps: All five main caps are four bolt with the center three being of the splayed design. The inner row of bolts are ½ inch thread, the outer row of bolts are 7/16 thread, and the outer 4 corner bolts are 3/8 thread.

Torque specs on main bolts are: 100 ft. lbs. inner and 70 ft. lbs. outer and 45 ft. lbs. on the
outer 4 corner bolts with oil.
Lifter Bores: Indexed (Lifter bore size is standard Ford diameter .8750)

Note: When using OE style roller
lifter guides (tie bars) with the spring-steel retainer on a Man O’War block, some material may need to be
removed from the GUIDE where indicated. This should be checked at each lifter boss location. Remove only
enough material in the indicated area for clearance.

Maximum Bore: All IRON blocks can be bored safely to a maximum of 4.200 / ALUMINUM, 4.155
Cylinder Bores: Cylinder bores are a siamese design. Because of increased wall thickness, no steam
holes are needed for street use.
Cylinder Wall Thickness: @ IRON 4.200 bore cylinder wall thickness will be .200
Head gaskets: Use Fel-Pro # 1031L and 1031R or equivalent to ensure water jacket coverage.
Water Jackets: Expanded for better cooling.
Gear Drives & Belt Drives: Due to the expanded water jackets, it is not recommended to run gear drives because of clearance issues with the backside
of the idler gears and the cylinder block in the timing cover area. Jesel belt drives will work with minor grinding of the block and/ or belt drive cover.
