Got the answer you wanted, I see.Thanks
makes more sense to bin the 5.2 and just build up a 5.0 based engine, then. Could use the GT350 heads, I suppose, they are pretty nifty, but I haven't yet seen if the cams work with a cross plane firing order, or even if it differs.
years to sort this out.
Well - starting from the question - you haven't even said what your plans are. I think I gave you a great answer but you were nothing but rude. Based on what you said I don't think you wanted a discussion - which is the best people here are going to be able to do. I doubt a Ford engineer is allowed to come on here and tell us all the details about the differences between the 5.0 and 5.2 blocks.Well, an answer.
I dont think anyone can really answer that question. The stock bores just haven't been pushed that hard. I will say i haven't heard of any boosted GT350s or 2018 5.0s cracking cylinders. Not sure if thats because of the plasma spray bores or if its added material to the block.
I saw a video about some 2000hp+ GTR still running stock block with no sleeves. He said they started sleeving blocks before they even tested them and had nothing but problems. Stayed with stock plasma spray bores and no more problems. Apples and oranges, but its somethin.
Voodoo Cams won’t work with the CP crank.Thanks

Here is a 5.0 .I dont think anyone can really answer that question. The stock bores just haven't been pushed that hard. I will say i haven't heard of any boosted GT350s or 2018 5.0s cracking cylinders. Not sure if thats because of the plasma spray bores or if its added material to the block.

I was really meaning strength beyond what has been achieved before with 5.0s. There are gen 2 and 3 coyotes that have made those numbers and more on stock bores. I was talking about numbers in the 1300whp ish and up range which would be clearly beyond the average. Not saying a stock coyote or voodoo couldn't achieve that but from past experience most wont try to push them that hard.I think there's almost a dozen boosted 350s @MadCow

I didnt read all of that thread but the initial cause of that failure is speculation. Even some bone stock motors have failed. At only 600whp it seems plausible something else could have been the cause. When the coyote cylinder cracking was first being seen people were pushing 1000whp ish and tearing down motors with everything else looking fine.

However, the 5.2 makes more power and it revs to a higher RPM and so the obvious conclusion is that it will be at least somewhat stronger.
