The Aluminator XS motor isn't available anymore as previously stated. Ford Racing is lacking on updating their site....
I don't mean to come off as knowing all but I just built a Coyote Cobra and I search all my options.
I left the phone # on my previous post for those interested to call.
Good luck

For $15000 your in FE territory with 100 more hp and 150 more tq...even a Windsor you would save 5 grand and have more power...
11 to 1 compression will need more than 93 octane not to ping, you will have to mix race fuel with premium, I had to do that with my Aluminator...

$13995 was my cheapest in CA. Here in OZ, especially where i would be driving 95 or 98 octane fuel readily available.
For a 427 FE, if you stay with an Iron block your probably going to save $2k not $5K, if you go alloy block, by the time you add EFI etc not alot in it. We need efi here to pass emissions testing! |

Hoity, you know how "oils ain't oils"... Well when comparing USA fuel to AUS fuel - "octanes ain't octanes".  |
