New Ford 5.0 On The Books

[BlueOval Ralph]

I am not talking about the Boss 302 Pushrod @ 8.20 deck hight but the 4V four cam 5.0L that is used in the new 2011 Boss 302 Car code name of COYOTE in the 2011 NHRA engine specs it shows as as a 4 Valve finger foller Engine dual overhead cam small bore long stroke

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.

Well, it appears this 2012 NHRA 302 listed may neither be a Mustang GT engine nor a Boss 4v.

It is possible the engine is a "made up on paper" engine..........according to this board member on Modular Fords: (post # 5)

"It's not a GT or a Boss according to the specs, it's an engine that doesn't exist. Someone goofed. All appearances are that it is the 2011 GT engine other than the piston and exhaust cam specs. I suspect that was the intent, to use that crate engine, much like they did with the 4.6 3V in the CJ previously. But the specs are wrong, not the first time they have submitted incorrect specs and cars got bounced for it previously too.

As listed it is a natural C car. Nothing there about transmissions, so no idea what can be used. Another paper car snuck into the guide, Ford hasn't put a production car in there for years now, just this made up ****. "

Sounds like a "CRATE MOTOR" to me.

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.

If you got that price from one of the FordParts.com sites it's listed wrong. The BOSS is around $11K and that's my cost as a dealer at 10% over cost.
A Coyote crate engine on the other hand sells for $5899.00
