Ford Performance M-6009-A50NAB - 5.0L Gen 3 Aluminator NA Short Block 12:1

Just like the fully built up engines, Aluminator Short Blocks are hand assembled and use Manley connecting rods with ARP rod bolts and Mahle forged pistons. Two versions are available – 9.5:1 and 12.0:1 compression ratio.

These Aluminator Short Blocks serve as a strong foundation for the enthusiast that wants to spec and finish a Coyote build to his or her particular application and needs.

Ford Performance Engineers have taken care of the toughest part of building a new engine by designing a strong and durable Short Block that offers a wide range of power possibilities. And every Ford Performance Aluminator Short Block is precision internal balanced and hand assembled in the U.S. with performance clearances.

Ford Performance offers a number of components to finish the build.
