Ford 5.0 "Coyote" crate engine announcement

[SunDude]

Funny, I suggested to Tony Brown, head of global purchasing for Ford, that they should offer a crate version of the new 5.0-litre V8 at a conference back in June. I drew my inspiration from seeing the Corvette crate motor used in a Superformance Cobra a while back. Either I convinced him, or they had the same great idea already in the works. ;-)

It has been in the works for some time, production availability, support electronics, etc. held it up. We will have mounting ability in the Superformance MK III in due time.

It sounds good. I just hope they will go ahead and build them.
