Good news if you want a new 5.0l

[svtfocus2cobra]

The crate motor is being released for a price of $6,999.00 through Ford Racing. I was expecting them to at least top 10k, but that's not a bad price.

Might be pretty cool in a new edge!

Hmm....

 

[pho_phizzat]

wow that is alot cheaper than i thought it would be

Buy a highmileage V6, swap the engine and there ya go 412 naturally aspirated ponies, all for the low low price of 7K plus car. But then again your engine does have 0 miles on it : )

you'll likely need a wiring harness, PCM, fuel system... there are a lot more costs IMHO then just the motor....

You're not kidding. I talked to a parts guy at a local dealer and he figured that the engine computer(s), the wiring harness, and the accessories would probably run you another three to four thousand.

meh, a ls3 is cheaper

 

[Steve@BAS]

Yup, $6,200

It won't take long before someone pioneers the way to splice all the electronics with 96-04 cars. Right now it will be pretty expensive no doubt, but with all the 5.0 gt's that will be running around in the next few years there should be alot to choose from in the junk yard. And so I wait.

cant really "splice" them.

05+ use CAN computer systems, which is a bit different than your standard OBDII.

From what ive heard as well, soon there will be wireless CAN for vehicles, likely implemented first on higher end euro/imports.

how about a stand alone engine management system like a FAST?

The real buy will be when Ford releases the Re-man. 5.0 Motor. Hard to tell how long that will be though.

Now that would be cool! ;-) :burnout:

 

[Carbd86GT]

A local guy I know that works at the Ford dealer already priced one out a few months back and it was around $9000 for a drop in set-up. That's harness, ECU, etc. That's Ford list price too.

I don't think a fast will work with cams maybe a motek?

 

[Carbd86GT]

Also, Ford Racing has a P/N for the harness, PCM and installation kit for the crate engine. They also have the alternator with bracket and belt, as well as the engine cover and coil covers. Waiting on prices for all that stuff now.

 

[OhIIICobra]

That price isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

meh, a ls3 is more gay
