So I need a new block and rotating assembly. Original is a Gen VI. What the pros and cons between Mark IV and Gen VI and compatibility of parts?
What I know, or think I know, is that the Mark IV is higher nickel content so stronger. Is that a big consideration on a pump gas N/A deal spinning less then 6k rpms.
Compatibility of parts.
VI heads can go on a IV block but not vice versa?
Oil pan is different I believe
No mechanical fuel pump on VI but I have the belt driven fuel pump from the original motor.
Will my Gen VI flywheel be ok with a Mark IV block.
Not planning on using the stock balancer.
Anything else not compatible?
Thanks in advance
