I know there are lot of guys out there that wouldn't shoot down the 2v just yet....Iron block, good for some serious power. As said before the cobra aluminum has a hard time holding 10#'s as I have found out to the hard way too. The 2v iron block is easilly modded to eccept 4v's, as I'm doing know for my own personal 95mm turbo 32v project. If you should want to look into heads I have a great article I can pm you on all the different head castings Ford put out there, flow #'s and port volumes and aplication designs.
As for any way you go, you are stiil going to want to use all good forged internals and prices for mod motor stuff is getting reasonable these days.
If budget provided I would go the 32v way, reason being much more efficient and a bit easier to make big power with forced induction. Not to mention they look killer done right, and impressive.
