FoMoCo – Ford OEM 2.3L/TS Bare Short Blocks

We are now offering genuine Ford OEM bare short blocks for EcoBoost enthusiasts looking for a reliable, factory-fresh foundation for their next build. These are the same short blocks we use to build our EMS Budget Build Engines rated at 550whp, so customers can trust they’re starting with a proven platform backed by real-world results.

2.3L Open-Deck Design

The standard 2.3L EcoBoost bare short block features an open-deck design, prioritizing cooling efficiency and heat management. This setup is perfect for OEM replacements or budget-friendly performance upgrades where reliability and factory-level design are key. The open-deck configuration offers excellent thermal control for daily driving while still handling increased performance demands.

Twin-Scroll Semi-Closed Deck Design

The Twin-Scroll (TS) variant incorporates a semi-closed deck design, adding structural reinforcement around the cylinders for greater strength under boost. By partially enclosing the deck, this OEM block provides added support in high-power applications while still maintaining OEM compatibility and cooling pathways. For those aiming for bigger power, the TS block is the smart choice.
