When it comes to bolting pure Blue Oval muscle into your Ford
performance car or truck project, nothing beats a crate engine from Ford
Racing Performance Parts.
For 2012, Ford Racing is expanding its range of quality engineered
and built crate engines that are designed to fit nearly every
performance application and budget.
Adding FRPP's just-announced I-4 Crate Engine 'Concept' into the
mix, Ford Racing's line of high performance crate engines now grows to
become one of the most comprehensive in recent memory. Whether it's one
of the modern, high-tech Coyote-based 5.0-liter engines or any of the
nine unique pushrod engines, all of Ford Racing's crate engines leverage
Ford Motor Company's engineering resources to deliver high quality and
real value.
The Ford "Small-Block" V-8 has been a longtime favorite among
racers, and the Ford Racing Performance Parts 2012 pushrod crate engine
offerings range from 302 to 427 cubic inches, and from 340 up to 600
horsepower!
The 2012 FRPP Crate Engine lineup includes:
Z363 500 HP Pushrod Crate Engine
Following the hot-rodding adage that there's no substitute for
cubic inches, Ford Racing has taken the popular 302-based stroker to the
max with the 500 horsepower Z363 crate engine. By pushing the bore out
to 4.125 inches, displacement of the popular 347 stroker has been
increased to 363 cubic inches. Combined with improved Mahle® pistons,
the Z363 makes 50 more horsepower and 50 more foot-pounds of torque than
the Z347 that it replaces. Nothing but the best parts are used inside,
including: forged crankshaft; forged I-beam connecting rods; floating
piston pins; and a high-performance oiling system.
Built with the BOSS 302 block and Z304D aluminum heads, Z363 fits
many of the vehicles originally built with a 289 or 302 block with
8.2-inch deck height. Ford Racing engineers designed the Z363 to work
both on the street and at the strip, with a strong torque curve that
delivers more than 390 foot pounds from 3,500 rpm up to the 6,500 rpm
redline. With a compression ratio of 10.0:1, Z363 runs on unleaded
premium pump gas, and is also available as a short block for those who
want to build the engine to their own specifications.
X427 Crate Engine (p/n M-6007-X427FT/RT)
The company that created the famous 427 FE engine now offers
another modern version of the legendary motor. The X427, designed for
street use, has joined the Ford Racing Z427 that was introduced in 2010.
Fitted with the legendary Ford Racing X-Heads, the X427 delivers 520
foot-pounds of torque. Built on Ford Racing's new BOSS 351 block, this
new 427 crate engine is engineered and built to deliver a strong, flat
torque curve. That translates into tire-smoking acceleration for street
rods, kit cars and muscle cars, and plenty of power and torque for
light-duty pickups and SUVs.
5.0L Ti-VCT Aluminator NA p/n M-6007-A50NA
Ford Racing has taken the 5.0 Mustang GT’s 4-valve V-8 with twin
independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) and created another in its
series of "Aluminator" crate engines that deliver even higher
performance than before. The 5.0 Aluminator NA, with 11.0:1 compression
ratio, is designed specifically for naturally aspirated,
high-performance applications. Mahle® forged pistons are hard anodized
with Graphal® low-friction coating. The connecting rods are premium
Manley® H-beam with ARP® 2000 bolts, and fitted with BOSS 302
high-performance bearings.
The 5.0 Aluminator NA is a direct bolt-in for 2011-12 Mustang GT.
It can be used in street rod or resto-mod builds using Ford Racing's
5.0L engine controls pack (p/n M-6017-A504V).
5.0L Ti-VCT Aluminator SC P/N M-6007-A50NSC
This second new offering in Ford Racing's 5.0 Mustang "Aluminator"
crate engine line is another modern 5.0-liter, 32-valve DOHC V-8 that
uses advanced features like Ti-VCT to deliver big power. This
"Aluminator" is built with a 9.5:1 compression ratio, forged pistons and
H-beam connecting rods to meet the demands of forced induction
applications.
5.0L Ti-VCT Coyote 'Sealed' Racing Engine P/N M-6007-M50S
The popularity of today's Mustang 5.0 "Coyote" engine has led to
strong interest by sanctioning bodies to create new spec-racing classes
for the engine. These spec engines are the same as the production
Mustang GT's 5.0 V-8, and are sealed by Ford Racing to ensure that none
of the engine internals are changed.
The first organization to employ these engines will be the National
Mustang Racer's Association (NMRA) in a class called, "Coyote Stock."
All engines will use a spec engine controller.
Ford Racing designs and engineers components that fit perfectly and
deliver optimal performance and durability. Only Ford Racing has access
to proprietary design, testing and production resources that are vital
in developing components worthy of wearing the Blue Oval. From engine
internals and bolt-on power-adders to chassis kits designed and tuned
for specific applications, Ford Racing has upgrades that are
track-tested and race-proven.
