Ford releases 5.2 block from the gt350!!

The story is on the front page, block looks like it has way more beef than the 5 liter. Might be a good option for someone building a motor, not sure if the 3k price is retail or not, but price doesn't seem too bad, so who's first????

It def looks like a stout piece.

Don't know too much about engine building, but how far could this thing be taken safely displacement wise? 5.4?

Any stroker crank that works in a standard Coyote will likely work for this block.

Wouldn't you need the full longblock? This isn't going to bolt up to the rest of the 5.0 I don't think lol

Be interested to see what they can actually be gotten for, and availability.

Coyote bits should hang off of it for the most part.

Last I heard the plant was running full out to just meet production requirements. Might be a while before they are in stock.

Sucks they cost as much as a sleeved block. One bad tune up or parts failure will ruin that block if you lift a head.
