Ford enthusiasts looking for an additional power boost for their Mustang have an intriguing option available to them – the brand-new 5.2L Coyote Crate Engine from Aluminator can produce up to 570 horsepower when configured correctly and properly tuned, taking its inspiration from technology used by the track-ready 2020 Shelby GT500.<\/p>\n
The Coyote platform was initially created as an alternative to the outdated 4.6L four-valve engine used in many Mustangs, and has quickly become one of the go-to choices for custom build Mustangs. Consisting of a Ford Modular small block V-8 with dual overhead cams for optimal use when building Mustangs, Gen 2 Coyote engines were released for purchase in 2015 with significant increases in both horsepower and torque when compared to Gen 1 Coyotes; additionally they feature Ti-VCT technology as well as high flow cylinder heads to reach their full potential more easily than before!<\/p>\n
Engine block construction consists of lightweight plasma transferred wire arc spray aluminum casting that features cross-bolted main bearing caps for superior strength, thick main bearing bulkheads and optimized oil drainback to enhance high-rpm performance. Furthermore, this block boasts a higher compression ratio than its predecessor to increase torque production while improving fuel economy.<\/p>\n
One of the key advancements to this generation’s Coyote engine was its transition to a flat-plane crankshaft – an unprecedented innovation among American V-8 engines that allowed for increased stroke length and power capacity.<\/p>\n
Charge Motion Control Valves (CMCVs) were another upgrade, used to optimize swirl and tumble in the intake airflow and improve fuel economy and emissions. They partially close at low RPM operation to increase swirl and tumble for improved fuel economy and emissions performance.<\/p>\n
The Aluminator 5.2L Coyote XS engine is an ideal choice for Mustang-based builds, featuring all of the upgrades found on production Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustangs – such as Sinter-forged connecting rods, CNC-ported cylinder heads and Boss’ short-runner intake manifold that help produce more power than stock configuration.<\/p>\n
Unlike its predecessors, the Coyote engine was created with power, efficiency and economy in mind. Its modular engine design combines elements from Ford’s overhead-cam engines with high-flow components for maximum performance – it truly revolutionized automotive technology! It stands as an engine game-changer.<\/p>\n
One of the Coyote’s hallmark features is its flat-plane crank, which allows it to rev higher. This is particularly important in racing applications; hence its widespread use among Mustang race cars.<\/p>\n
The Coyote offers an innovative cylinder head design featuring smaller valves to facilitate increased flow. This helps increase horsepower and torque. Furthermore, its camshaft features an innovative phasing arrangement using torsional energy instead of oil pressure to control camshaft rotation for precise phasing control, giving it an advantage over other TI-VCT designs that rely solely on oil pressure for timing change.<\/p>\n
An additional feature is its asymmetrical block design, which increases port volume and flows through both intake and exhaust manifolds for improved horsepower and torque throughout its rpm range. Furthermore, this engine’s block features a rear-mounted crank sensor wheel to improve timing accuracy by producing more stable signals and improve timing accuracy.<\/p>\n
Coyotes were never meant to compete head-on against the LS and Hemi in naturally aspirated applications; nonetheless they’re capable of producing over 1,000 horsepower without modifications such as blowers or turbos – and sometimes more with proper tuning and add-ons like blowers or turbos.<\/p>\n
The Aluminator 5.2L Coyote crate engine from Ford is the most powerful naturally aspirated modular engine ever produced, featuring hand assembly by technicians familiar with building Mustang Cobra Jet drag racing engines, while using premium aftermarket components for maximum durability.<\/p>\n
The Aluminator features a Ford Performance Gen-3 Coyote Block with Darton Coyote Sleeves from Darton Racing. In addition, it boasts a Ford Boss Forged Crankshaft as well as Manley 4340 Pro Series I-beam Connecting Rods from Manley 4340 Pro Series and features JE ULTRA coated Coyote Pistons as well as ARP Main Studs to complete its package.<\/p>\n
Ford Performance offers an engine solution to add big power to any Mustang or hot rod: the 5.2L Coyote High Compression Crate Engine. Based on technology developed for Mustang Cobra Jet drag racing engines, this high-compression crate engine produces 580 horsepower and will obliterate any competition you face. Each Aluminator XS engine is assembled by technicians using premium aftermarket parts like unique camshafts and fully CNC ported GT350 cylinder heads.<\/p>\n
This Coyote-based crate engine features an innovative hybrid dual-fuel system that enables it to switch seamlessly from port fuel injection during cold start up, to direct injection as load increases – this versatility of operation makes the Coyote so popular among engine enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
The 5.2L Coyote High Performance engine boasts a 12.0:1 compression ratio capable of high rpm applications, producing abundant torque and horsepower at all rpm. Featuring durable Mahle pistons and Manley H-beam connecting rods specifically designed to withstand these rigorous environments, the combination ensures reliable operation even at higher rpm levels than any previous modular Mustang engine.<\/p>\n
Coyote modulars stand out as being distinguished by their improved crankcase ventilation and oil drainback. Early tests demonstrated that Coyote modulars could experience “air-lock” at higher rpm when large volumes of drainback oil would effectively block crankcase vents. To solve this issue, oil drainback paths were segregated from crankcase breathing chimneys resulting in much larger drainback passage that connects directly with passages on outer side of cylinder head to increase pressurized crankcase air flow that eliminate air-lock while improving PCV functionality.<\/p>\n
One of the standout features of the Coyote 5.0L is its revolutionary TiVCT (Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing). This revolutionary technology enhances power capabilities of this engine by permitting higher peak torque and horsepower than traditional two-valve 4.6 engines which employ fixed cam timing.<\/p>\n
Ford Performance’s PRI booth featured several powerplants to boost Mustang top-end horsepower, but one stood out as being particularly promising. This 5.2L Coyote High Compression Short Block from Ford Performance stands out with its new Gen-3 Coyote block featuring Darton Coyote sleeves, an 11.0:1 compression ratio, premium components like Manley 4340 Pro Series I-beam connecting rods, ARP rod bolts and Mahle ULTRA Coated piston rings from Mahle.<\/p>\n
A great deal of effort went into this short block to ensure its reliability in the demanding environment of a Mustang engine. For instance, oil pan shape and baffling were modified to reduce internal drag, and capacity increased from 5 quarts to 8 for cold-start lubrication and high engine speeds. Furthermore, timing chains were upgraded with stronger designs capable of handling 7000rpm redline and the torque requirements associated with drifting.<\/p>\n
The Coyote crankshaft was also upgraded with larger main and cam bearings and girdle size to further strengthen it. ARP main studs coated with MolyLube provide for better engine performance while the cylinder heads were equipped with high-flow cast iron intake manifold and Victor Jr single plane intake designed specifically to work with TiVCT with Continuous Variable Valve Timing (CVVT).<\/p>\n
Ford engineers made every effort to reduce weight on this Coyote, including using plastic intakes, hollow camshafts, composite valve covers and five-core head castings. Furthermore, they opted for an aluminum block coated with plasma transferred wire arc spray weld liner coating instead of traditional gray sand casting.<\/p>\n
One of the most remarkable feats of engineering on this short block is its oiling system, featuring dedicated supplies to cam phasers via a special solenoid that bypasses three-way shuttle valve and uses bleed oil from nearby cam journals directly as feed oil source. Furthermore, oil pump gears were upgraded with billet versions for increased strength and longevity.<\/p>\n
Even for stock or lightly modified engines, an upgraded oil pump should be considered essential when increasing horsepower levels. This kit features the Ford Performance oil pump with billet gears for superior durability and performance; additionally it comes complete with adapters, oil lines and hoses to enable its installation from factory unit.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
