29 April 2011 6,626 views No Comment

Ford Racing has announced the availability of the Boss 302 crate engine, part #M-6007-M50B, allowing individuals to install the 444 horsepower 5.0L V8 into their own project cars. The engine features many upgrades over the standard 5.0L V8 including CNC-machined cylinder heads, upgraded air intake manifold, forged aluminum pistons, stronger connecting rods and more. Custom wiring and calibration is required, as the vehicle harness and power control module is not included.

The downside is pricing. Ford Racing lists the Boss 302 crate engine at $11,999.00, while the standard 5.0L Coyote V8 crate engine is $6,999.00. Is the Boss 302 engine worth the extra $5,000? That’s a tough call.

Boss 302 5.0L V8 Crate Engine Features:

11.0:1 compression ratio
Lightweight aluminum cylinder block features cross-bolted main bearing caps and thick main bearing bulkheads for bottom-end strength
Features large sump 8.5 qt oil pan with revised oil pan baffling for improved oil control under hard cornering
Revised composite intake system with shorter runners, inspired by Ford Racing’s Daytona Prototype engine program
80 mm single bore “drive by wire” throttlebody
High-strength aluminum-alloy cylinder heads with fully CNC-machined ports and chambers for exceptional high-rpm airflow without sacrificing low-speed torque
Sodium-filled exhaust valves for improved heat dissipation
Forged aluminum pistons and upgraded sinter-forged connecting rods for improved strength
Includes manual transmission engine harness and flywheel
Vehicle harness and PCM not included
