Although most major automakers have publicly made ambitious emission commitments and are committed to the future of expensive electric vehicles, behind the scenes, many promoters and vacillators know that internal combustion engine enthusiasts will exist for a long time. This may be the reason why we see the crate engine that places such emphasis on business. Take the Chevrolet Performance ZZ632 crate engine as an example. A 10.4 liter, 1,004 horsepower Big Block V8 engine seems to run counter to the company's "All-Electric Future" slogan. The same situation can be seen in Ford Motor Company. The 760-horsepower supercharged 5.2L Predator V8 exclusively equipped in the S550 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (M-6007-M52SC) has just been officially added to the Ford Performance Catalog as a crate. In the motor.
"The Predator engine is now live as a crate engine for Ford Performance," Ford Mustang Marketing Manager Jim Owens told MC&T.
Ford will sell you one of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Predator V8 crate engines, code-named M-6007-M52SC, for only $25,995-or roughly the starting price of the base model EcoBoost Mustang-and for you Provide 2 years, 24,000 miles of cruising range. If you do not modify the long block, it is guaranteed. The price may seem high, and it is true, but then again, paid games have always been Big Speed's business model.
In terms of rotating metals, what can $25,995 bring you? Well, let's start from the top. Eaton TVS R2650 is responsible for plugging the barely oversized cylinder filled with compressed intake air. If you build such an engine in your friend's garage, the supercharger alone will allow you to run more than 8 kilometers.
Rotating in a high-strength aluminum block, the rotating components are completely forged. This means that steel cranks, steel rods, and aluminum piston heads may be able to withstand more than the inventory rated at 760 horsepower and 625 pound-feet of torque. Even without modification, the forged components and series structure mean that it should be one of the most reliable 700 horsepower engines ever.
Since the M-6007-M52SC 5.2L supercharged V8 is a fully assembled crate engine, Ford will also include all auxiliary parts. Fortunately, Ford stated that both exhaust manifolds are included, and the alternator, starter and air-conditioning compressor are also installed before shipment. The kit includes a booster and water pump/alternator belt. It is as close as possible to be ready for operation.
This brings us to an important point...
Just like the Eluminator electric crate motor, Ford will definitely sell you Shelby's 5.2-liter supercharged Predator V8, no matter what you use, but there is no control package available. Without the CAN-BUS controller, electronic accelerator pedal and other plug-and-play software you need, the barriers to entry for the GT500 V8 to perfectly match your project car or truck will be greatly increased.
This is not to say that it is not feasible, or that Ford will not eventually package and price control kits for the M-6007-M52SC, it just doesn't exist yet.
In terms of other key indicators, the dry weight without accessory drive components is 536 pounds, and the shipping weight is 665 pounds. What are you waiting for? There must be some forgotten Aerostar or Crown Vic begging for the lease of a second life.
