This may be a good place to ask, will the GT350 heads or cams work on the 5.0?

ALOT that money for a high compression non sleeved pretty much useless engine if you want to add more power in the future. Be a nice drop in crate for a project car or someone that wants no more then 500 rwh. Hate to spend that kind of money on a motor to tear the top end apart to drop compression to make it useful for what alot of people would want to buy it for.

article states 12.0:1 its actually 11.0:1 :D

https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6007-A50XS In any case its not available now. But two other crate engines are nice replacements:

https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6007-A50NAA - naturally aspirated application

https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6007-A50SCA - for forced induction application

:cheers:

:ford:

I love the XS5.2. We've dynotuned 2 of them so far and installed one into an 11-14 Boss with the Gen 2 control pack.

It makes well over 500 rwhp and has stock like drivability.

Heads yes, cams not exactly. There are Coyote-specific cams with the same lift/duration specs as the GT350 cams. They are used in this engine IIRC.

Yep, different firing order.

One of these babies is in my long range plans/fantasy, whether I buy one complete or build something similar. An acquaintance just had GT350 heads and block for sale, but I can't stick my neck out this soon. :(
