Just like the fully built-up engines, Aluminator Short Blocks are hand assembled and use Manley® connecting rods with ARP® rod bolts and Mahle® forged pistons.  Two versions are available – 9.5:1 and 12.0:1 compression ratio. 

These Aluminator Short Blocks serve as a strong foundation for the enthusiast that wants to spec and finish a Coyote build to his or her particular application and needs. 

Ford Performance Engineers have taken care of the toughest part of building a new engine by designing a strong and durable Short Block that offers a wide range of power possibilities.  And every Ford Performance Aluminator Short Block is precision internally balanced and hand assembled in the U.S. with performance clearances.

Ford Performance offers a number of components to finish the build.

  • I appreciate Paul's engineering

    I appreciate the fact that Paul's engineering is willing to help me with some work as I try to personalize My 2023 Mustang Mach1.

  • Works Just as Described

    Install is simple and straight forward. Decided to do something that may preserve the warranty as opposed to going big, like I did on my last Raptor. It shifts much better and you can feel the seat of the pants improvement.
