The new motor listed is a 4 valve! Which engine is it? Is it the same as the Boss 302? for 2011?

X's 2 Greg ! Charley...... No....Im just not a member of NHRA anymore. I havent been for a few years. They suck in my opinion and will NOT get any more of my money until they change their ways of treating the sportsman racers so it looks like I never will be an NHRA member again as they will never change. I was a member for many many for years prior. Probably for as many years as you are old. Your just blowing smoke and everyone knows it. Your combo is an underrated "Ringer" and everyone knows it. It wont be affected by the AHFS as very few are even running your combo and most will be automatics anyway. Good move on your part. And thats from a guy who really does like Fords. I like ALL brands but fair is fair and Ford and Chrysler has not been the least bit fair in this deal and NHRA has been dumb enough to buy it.......or at least been paid enough.

Ladies, I was posting more as a joke than anything. No need to get into the same old conversation for the 100th time. I was excited to see the 5.0 at 412 in the hands of the great builder/tuners. Guys are in the low 12's with a good tire from the factory. No doubt it could run with the fast older cars in time.

About like a good LS1 F body. I have a few eleven second customers with those old LS1 cars.

Probably not the Boss.
I'm going to download the 2012 engine blueprint specs and take a look at the casting numbers to make sure tho.

Cool thing about the Boss longblock is that anyone can order it. I got a quote of $ 6400 delivered and that included the $ 1,000 core charge.

That engine is a screamer ! It can run @ 7500 rpm....easily !

CNC factory heads, forged pistons, stronger rods, oil cooler, larger cam, etc.
A racing engine put into a factory built street car....awesome !

The crate motor that Ford sells is rated at 444hp and that has the same 80mm throttle body and 11:1 compression.

Ok then COYOTE??

Re: New Ford 5.0 On The Books
 

The boss block is a Windsor conventional sbf style block I believe. It is not the modular block for the 4.6-5.4.
They just revived the 5.0 size in the mod motor for this years cars. F-150's come with a 5.0 now too.

Here is a pic of the new Boss 5.0 4v longblock.
Like I posted before, it's a 7500 rpm (road) racing engine put into a street legal Mustang. :)
The tell-tale sign that it's a Boss is the oil cooler.
Externally, everything else looks the same as the GT engine.

Still checking on that Ralph.

I posted the specs on the Modular Fords forum to see if someone can determine if it's the Boss or GT engine.
