{"product_id":"ford-performance-m-6009-363-363-cubic-inch-boss-short-block-custom","title":"Ford Performance M-6009-363 363 Cubic Inch Boss Short Block","description":"The Ford Performance Z363 shortblock lets you build it your way by adding your choice of heads, cam, intake and oil pan.  It's the perfect foundation to build a powerful 8.2\" deck engine for your vintage muscle car, street rod, Fox Body or Late Model Mustang.  This is the same shortblock used in the 500 HP M-6007-Z2363FT crate engine.    By taking the bore out to 4.125-inch, the displacement of the popular 347 stroker has been increased to 363 cubic inches. Nothing but the best parts are used inside including: forged crankshaft, forged I-beam connecting rods with floating piston pins and the BOSS 302 block. The Z363 shortblock fits many of the vehicles originally built with a 289 or 302 8.2-inch deck height block. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Engine type: 302 based small block Ford\u003cbr\u003eDisplacement (cu in): 363\u003cbr\u003eBore x stroke (in): 4.125\" bore x 3.400\" stroke\u003cbr\u003eBlock: Boss 4-bolt main block M-6010-BOSS302  8.2\" deck height\u003cbr\u003ePiston to Deck Height: .010\" below deck (nominal)\u003cbr\u003eCrankshaft: SCAT® Forged Steel: 3.400\" stroke\u003cbr\u003eConnecting rods: SCAT® forged steel I-beam connecting rods with floating pin and ARP® bolts\u003cbr\u003ePistons: Mahle® forged aluminum, 1.5mm, 1.5mm, 3.00mm rings, valve reliefs for X306, X307, Z304DA, Z304P, N351, and other inline valve Windsor cylinder heads. 6 cc valve pockets.
