Just imagine a 4.5 liter twin turbo in the mustang, or even the SHO engine with a bit more tune.

I'd rather imagine a 5.0 TT than a 4.5 TT. :thumbsup:

Nice work MMR. Informative.......... :headbang:

It's still not a guarantee that the valves will fit in the old bore size, regardless of how small of an increment it is.

They should fit because the Voodoo heads fit.
Valve shrouding is a issue. The slightly larger bore help with this.

Might Fit?

350 Intake Manifold!

I’d like to imagine the same 5.0 TT in a Mach 1.

A true work of art. Enzo Ferrari would love it.

Kind of like the Hellion set up? https://www.americanmuscle.com/project-cars-events.html . She's got it at about 650 HP, but you can likely press it with 20PSI with the bigger turbos to get around 1000HP.
Clutch, flywheel, axels, fuel injectors, suspension, tires....20-25k later you have a pretty mean tt.

The hellion kit on the 2018 already put down 840WHP at 11psi

Can't wait to see a fully forged engine from Ford with stronger components built from the factory.

I'm not too crazy about this rod and piston for boost.

Yes it is, pleasing to look at.

Once I am finished with my 2016, and I see nothing from Ford that is a huge jump, I will either stick with it longer, or shop at Dodge.

LMAO.

Yeahhhh
That’s called a gt350 and gt500.
It makes me laugh that people expect ford to spend extra money in upgrades so people can add boost to a non boosted engine from the factory.
Hell, maybe the factory should also add forged aluminum wheels and longer ARP wheel studs so I didn’t have to buy them from forgeline or arp.

MMR tears into a Brand new, never run 2018 5.0 Direct Injection engine to show the Mustang 6G community whats inside! Stay tuned for a Forged Shortblock buildup next!

Be sure to check out the 2018 Parts section for all things specifically related to the new engine, MMR now has shortblocks, Valve springs, phaser deletes, billet oil pump and crankshaft gears and so much more. Visit www.modularmotorsportsracing.com to see more race inspired coyote 5.0 engine components!

Not sure if anyone else has made this comparison yet, but in the 12th pic (bottom of the cylinder head) - does anyone else think it looks like a pumpkin? Maybe we call the 2018 direct injection cars Pumpkinheads? Just a thought
