New Ford 5.0 On The Books

[BlueOval Ralph]

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

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.

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.

my mistake. I usually think of the car as opposed to the engine when someone says Boss 302
