Everything you want to know about this engine. ( and yes the crank and rods are forged and it uses hypereutectic pistons).. Make sure to read the torture test.. Very impressive!!

Good read, interesting how it says supercharging the coyote requires a stronger forged rod.

Tip. That is the weakest part but funny how Ford offers three supercharger kits for this motor and will warranty it. They are forged connecting rods so they are not weak. Just not super strong like some other after market rods. I know the motor is good to 575 HP all day long supercharged.
