Ford has just unveiled a new supercharged 5.0L V8 Coyote crate engine, offering enthusiasts a powerful option for their projects. Based on the engine found in the Mustang Dark Horse, this upgraded powerplant boasts a 3.0L supercharger, a reprogrammed power control module, and other undisclosed enhancements. The result is a targeted output of over 800 horsepower and 615 lb-ft of torque, making it a serious contender for anyone seeking significant power gains.
This new crate engine isn’t just about raw power; it’s also street-legal and comes with a two-year, 24,000-mile limited warranty, providing peace of mind for builders. Ford has also focused on ease of installation by including a control pack harness. This should simplify the process of integrating the engine into a variety of vehicles.
While the horsepower and warranty are exciting, enthusiasts will have to wait a bit longer to get their hands on this engine. Ford has announced that the supercharged Coyote crate engine won’t be available for order until the fourth quarter of 2025. Pricing details have not yet been released, leaving potential buyers to speculate on the cost of this high-performance engine.
This latest addition expands Ford Performance’s already impressive catalog of Coyote V8 crate engines and related components. The lineup includes various versions of the Gen 4 Aluminator, standard fourth-generation Coyote crate engines, control packs for the Gen 4X Coyote, and even power modules paired with either a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission. This extensive selection gives builders a wide range of options to choose from, depending on their specific needs and project goals.
