hey, guys, stephanie with americanmuscle.comhere with an overview of the ford racing coyote crate engine, a direct replacement for the2015 and up s550 gt mustang. in this video, we're gonna go over some ofthe details of this motor, including some specs, and touch upon the install. obviously for the install, we're talking abouta full motor swap here, so it's gonna be a three-out-of-three wrenches on the scale andin most cases, it's gonna require the help of a professional. this motor is the direct stock replacementfor the 2015 and up 5.0-liter, so it's a great option for those s550 owners out there thathave already pushed the limits of their stock
block and found the breaking point and thatdon't wanna upgrade. but at the same time, it's also a great optionfor a project car or rolling chassis, not just an s550. these motors have great capabilities unopenedand right from the factory, which makes it one to consider for other platforms and yearsas well. jumping right into the heart of this, thismotor isn't new to the scene, but i'm still gonna go over some of the specs here. this motor as it sits right here makes 435horsepower at 6500 rpm and 400 foot pounds of torque just over 4200 rpm with that 11:1compression ratio, which are the standard
stock numbers so you aren't lacking there. this is the modern dual overhead cam 5.0-literwith twin independent variable camshaft timing. this is also an aluminum block with aluminumheads, but it has a bunch of goodies in the bottom end to make it a stout block that canhandle a good amount of horsepower and torque. we're talking cross-bolted main bearing capsand thick main bearing bulkheads for bottom end strength. and of course aluminum pistons with forgedrods and a forged crank, which are some of the best things about this motor. i mentioned this earlier, but this motor doeswell with both na and with boosted applications
and can actually handle quite a bit of power. it's part of the reason why i like it so much. it's a great foundation for a pretty seriousbuild. to compare this block to the previous '11to '14 coyote motor, this one does have slightly more power and it's even more fuel efficient. this block borrows some of the upgraded componentsfrom the boss 302 mustang, which i already mentioned earlier with the forged connectingrods and the forged crank. and i already said that the block is all aluminum,but it does have thinner walls than its predecessors. the walls are sleeved with press-in iron sleeves,but they have a 2 millimeter larger diameter
than the 4.6-liter engine because the sleevesare thinner than they previously were. but none of this compromises the engine. like i said before, it is a stout engine. now the pistons are not forged pistons, butthey do have slightly different valve clearance notches when compared to the '11 to '14 engineand this is because the new-new here has larger valves. and since we're on valves, we can just keepon that same track and i'll say now that the heads are also new castings that have betterflow capabilities thankfully. now of course i touched on the cams a littlebit earlier, but those are different, too.
they're larger and lumpier than the previouscoyote and of course the valve springs needed to be changed to accommodate that, so theseones are stiffer. the long block is gonna come with an eightquart capacity oil pan and your exhaust manifolds as well. and since this is a long block, it's of coursegonna come with a stock intake manifold and the 80 millimeter throttle body. ford racing does also include a manual transmissionengine harness and a flywheel as well, but they do not include the vehicle harness, thepcm, the alternator or the engine cover kit. so this is going to require the engine controlpack and the alternator kit and the exact
ford part numbers are listed on the productpage. now unfortunately i can't make any promiseson exactly what the motor can and can't handle, power- and torque-wise, but there are plentyof modified coyotes out there holding up with double the stock output and this motor doeswell under any modifications, plain and simple. one other thing that i wanted to mention isthat this crate engine does come with a 2-year, 24,000 mile warranty from ford racing forreplacement or repair, so there is a little bit of peace of mind there. as far as price goes, you're looking at nearly$7,000 right here for the long block. of course you're looking at spending morefor the other items that you need, but ford
racing does offer this same crate engine pairedwith the engine control pack for about $2,000 more, but you're still looking at needingthe alternator kit on top of that. or if you're looking to upgrade, you can alwayscheck out the aluminator for a couple thousand more. when it comes to the install, i hinted atthis earlier, but this is gonna be a full three-out-of-three wrenches on the difficultymeter and a weekend in the garage with a helping hand. the time and the difficulty of the installwill change depending on what you're installing this into, but no matter what, you're stilllooking at a lot of work and needing an entire
toolbox to get the job done. pulling a motor is no easy job unless youhave a ton of experience. your best bet would be to access a lift, havea cherry picker and an engine stand and a trans jack as well. honestly this is an install for a professionalunless you have the tools and know how to do it yourself or you have some friends orfamily that have pulled a motor or two before. i wouldn't say that this is something youshould try on your own unless you have some knowledge. wrapping things up here with the ford racingcoyote 5.0-liter crate engine, this is a direct
replacement for the s550 gt mustang, but it'sa strong and capable motor for any chassis. this is a complete long block that comes verynearly ready to drop in and it makes 435 horsepower at the crank. now there's a lot going on with this engine,so you guys should check it out more online for yourselves. and for all things mustang, keep it righthere at americanmuscle.com.
