Product Reviews for 5.2L ALUMINATOR 5.2 XS CRATE ENGINE
Description
Reviews
Ford Performance has taken the technology and hardware developed for
the Shelby GT350 Mustang and has created the ultimate naturally
aspirated, 5.2L cross-plane crankshaft crate engine. With a
rating of 580 horsepower at 7,800 rpm, the new Aluminator 5.2 XS is the
most powerful naturally aspirated modular crate engine ever built by
Ford Performance. This is the worthy successor of our previous
rendition-the "A50XS". Every Aluminator is hand assembled by the same
technicians that build the Mustang Cobra Jet drag racing
engines. Premium aftermarket components are used to ensure
durability like; unique Manley® connecting rods, ARP® rod bolts, Mahle®
forged pistons, forged steel crankshaft sprocket, and billet oil pump
gears. Unique components developed specifically for the Cobra
Jet racing program are used including Cobra Jet short runner-high RPM
intake manifold, 1517 CFM dual 65mm Cobra Jet throttle body, and high
RPM pulse ring. Ford Performance Engineers developed a balanced
combination of high end, 580 horsepower and strong mid-range torque
with the Cobra Jet intake manifold, unique camshafts and fully CNC
ported GT350 cylinder heads.
