Ford Racing M-8600-M50BALT Alternator Kit

Description

Equip your high-RPM modular engine with the Ford Performance 5.0L Coyote Gen 1, 2, 3 Boss 150 Amp Alternator Kit (Part # M-8600-M50BALT). Directly documented from Ford Performance Parts, this complete kit includes special high-performance components as used on the production 2012–2013 Mustang BOSS 302, engineered specifically to operate reliably at higher engine RPM.

Delivering a 150-amp output, the alternator features an integrated 1-way clutch designed to prevent belt hop-off during aggressive upshifts, along with a larger-diameter pulley to slow armature speed, reduce drag, and minimize parasitic horsepower loss. Paired with a higher-tension belt tensioner, idler pulley, drive belt, and factory mounting hardware, this kit provides a complete charging solution for Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3 Mustang 5.0L Coyote engines.
