5.2L Predator Development program

[93_SVT_3503]

Here is a good article about the 5.2l Predator engine development program. It also states that the oil separator will only come on the carbon fiber track pack cars.

Twas actually a good read. I dont enjoy most articles prerelease, but this one has information

Was a very god article. People who keep claiming the GT500 is nothing more than left over parts from the GT350 program need to read this.

Steve is a great guy. I've gotten to know him well over the past few years and its always interesting exchanging texts on any breaking information. He asked me if I had any lingering questions that Ford had yet to address and I brought up the pump and gears. He did a great job getting answers that nobody else has been able to get.

So I guess it’s not a billet oil pump?
Just better then the stock gt350?

I knew that would be asked and shot him a clarification text as soon as I read the article. When I hear anything I'll post. If you read carefully what he wrote he was saying that the powdered internals are harder with a larger gerotor and as such, stronger. But it would appear that the OPG is still a powder forging nonetheless.

Thanks for the reply.

I will leave my car stock but I would still like to know.

Sounds like it's confirmed that the oil separator drains back into the engine?

No? Where does it say that? It only says that it can be drained.

 

[Epiphany]

It indirectly implies it with the statement that it "does not require servicing."

 

[tdzee]

It explicitly states that "it is set up with a drain and does not require servicing" in the photo caption at the end.

Are the cylinder bores plasma coated? I didn't see anything mentioned in the article.

Yes, all the 5.2 blocks get that displacement with the larger spray bore.
