Difference between the Mustang GT and F-150 5.0L Engine?!?!?!?!?!?
- Thread starter trakit

The camshafts are also different as there designed to make a little more torque. It's also is a lower compression engine
If you would have "researched" a little more you would of stumbled across wikipedia.
PASTE =
A torque-biased variant of the Coyote is produced as an alternative to the EcoBoost V6 in the new F-150 pickup truck. The F150 5.0L receives a lower compression ratio (10.5:1), intake camshafts with less duration, cast iron exhaust manifolds, and revised cylinder heads and intake manifold (color change only, no difference in size or shape) intended to promote low-end and mid-range power and torque. The engine retains the Coyote's forged steel crank and piston-cooling jets but benefits from the addition of an external engine oil cooler similar to the Boss 302's. The changes result in the engine's peak horsepower dropping to 360 hp (268 kW; 365 PS) while torque remains the same as the Boss 302 at 380 lb·ft (520 N·m).

Good thread! Are the block and heads identical? Good for cores if you can get one reasonable?
The 2015 F-150 version gets some sweet cast iron headers.
Hardly anyone does research for themselves anymore. Drives me insane. Maybe it's just my personality and how I go about work/life but I'll research and research a subject to death until I can't find the info I am looking for or I simply do not understand. There is so much information out there, readily available to everyone and yet most do not use it. It gets old browsing forums and seeing the same topics brought up over and over.
I'm just being a cry baby but it's how I feel about it. /bitching

Forums must close Now! If it wasent for people asking the same thing over and over and over again there would be no need for a forum... Just saying..... loosen up you don't pay for the service.
Very true! I guess I just expect too much from people by trying. I'll still complain. :lol:

Last June I was at the Ford setup at the Fords at Carlisle Show and overheard a Ford “rep” telling a guy that there’s no difference between the F150’s 5.0L and the Mustang’s. I heard the guy mention that he had a 5.0L out of a newer F150 and wanted to swap it into his project.
The Ford rep said the difference is tuning. That Ford used a safe tune for running 87 octane, less advance on the cams, but there’s no difference internally. Then he said something like: “It’s amazing what they can do with computer tuning”. The rep told the guy to buy a Mustang intake with throttle body (I guess they’re different) and a Mustang computer and he’ll be at Mustang horsepower.
I guess that goes to show what the Ford car show reps know!
