Just curious. Did Ford ever produce a V8 with an alloy block for the street? if so what cars did they come out in? What engine size?

At ,least two. There was the SHO v8 used in the SHO Taurus, and the Ford/Jaguar AJ V8 used in Lincoln and Thunderbirds.

My brother has fitted a GEN 2 Coyote crate engine into his De Tomaso Pantera. Nearing the end of a 10 year ground up rebuild to make a 70's Italian super-car into a comfortable & reliable every day driver.

Can't wait to get behind the wheel!

Remember seeing a Pantera in a police chase around 79' ,Meola creek. the guy had about 3 or 4 police cars chasing him. he zoomed past where the Meola airfield is . handbraked it. jumped out and dived into the mangrove swamp . im pretty sure he got away. police cars circling for hours. lol
