2011 5.0 Crate Engine

[Maxwell]

Hello Everyone,

Great Forum! :thumbsup: The new Ford 5.0 TI-VCT 4v Boss 302R is available (crate). Its all aluminum and for the price it seems like a good deal.

Because its a DHC engine can anyone tell me if it will fit most GT kits?

I would also appreciate any feed back or concerns if any on using this engine.

Im looking for a bit of revs, light weight engine for weekend racing and some road use. Modern electronics and lots of fun.

Thanks in advance

Maxl

Im not too Gt smart but I love the cars.

I do believe that the Coyote engine will fit in the engine bay of an RCR40 with little trouble.. Fran Hall may chime in here on this.. There are a number of very large engines that have been installed in the RCR cars...

We will be offering this option in the very near future. We are developing engine mounts, gearbox bellhousing and an exhaust system with CATs so that it will be a bolt in option.


Thanks

It will fit in a Superformance GT40.

I recently took a 2011 Mustang w/5.0 for a drive and really enjoyed the engine performance. It was tuned and had just under 430 HP. Ford is coming out with a BOSS 302R version too.

Good reving, light weight. I thought of the Gt right away.

Thanks Randy

Andy, you see this engine as a good alternative too?

I think for the value its a great choice and theres a lot of options from induction Boss302R to Superchargers.

I did a little checking and supposedly the mount bosses and bellhousing mount patern are common to the 4.6 modular engines.

Keep me posted Andy, Thank you

That's an interesting engine option - any idea of pricing (crate)?
I did a Google search for more information on pricing but didn't turn up anything useful so far.
Cheers,

We think this engine is the way forward especially as far as IVA emissions are concerned.
Other advantages are

Its much lighter than a 302.
Its a modern all aluminium design.
Its fuel injected.
Has good power straight out of the crate.

Thanks

Andy

Andy

Which gearboxes will you be supporting with your bellhousings, Andy?

Cheers from Doug!!

Doug

We will be using our existing UN1 gearbox.

Max

We will be fitting a Coyote engine into our next demo car.

I've just been browsing (drooling) over the Coyote at Ford's Racing Parts Direct website, they have a link to an interesting (long) article on this engine and its development at Mustang50magazine.com
Also worth mentioning that Ford have introductory discounts on the crate engine at the moment, priced at $6,499 and controls pack at $1,599 instead of $6,999 and $1,799 respectively.

Guys,

Approximately how much weight is saved with an aluminum block 302, compared to a standard 302 with aluminum heads?
