Wiseco, K1, And ERL-Built 351 Coyote Short Block

When the Ford Motor Company re-introduced the fabled 5.0L in 2010 with the new 2011 Mustang GT, the Ford faithful were practically beside themselves to get their hands on one. This wasn’t just a nostalgic return of the “5.0″ namesake, but the unveiling of an engine unlike any other in Ford’s history – one that just might top the original. Capable of producing the power to run in the tens naturally aspirated and structurally sound enough to handle copious amount of boost – this was horsepower nirvana for Mustang fans.

But for the extremists among us, how exactly do you improve upon an already stout piece of machinery? The good folks at Wiseco and K1 Technologies have an answer to that, and in doing so, they’ve brought the likewise well-revered “351″ name back to the Mustang.

+1! My jaw almost hit my desk when I read:

Strength and durability aside, perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the design of this block that Wiseco and ERL have developed is its ability to bolt up directly to every single component found on the factory Coyote engine...

The displacement has increased from 5.0 to 5.8 liters, but otherwise, they’d never know it by looking at it.”
Prototype Coyote 5.8 for 2014-2015 anyone? Makes me wonder what Ford themselves really have in store for the near future...
