Description

Engine overview

The Aluminator XS is Ford Performance’s 5.2-liter aluminum V8 crate in the Coyote-derived family, built around a flat-plane architecture rather than a takeout 5.0. It is sold here as a new crate, not a used Modular. Expect to specify oil pan, accessory drive, flywheel, and ECU. It will not fool a parts catalog into thinking it is a VIN-matched Mustang 5.0.

Typical applications

Listed application window: 2011–2023 Ford Mustang. Crate applications are builder-defined. The year ranges above are chassis hints, not VIN guarantees. Year/make/model get you onto the right aisle. VIN, oil pan, and engine code decide whether the assembly actually ships.

Crate configuration

5.2L 32-valve DOHC V8 crate, Naturally aspirated, DOHC, flat-plane crank architecture (Aluminator XS family), Aluminum block, Aluminum head. Listed dress: complete engine. No transmission is included unless named on this page. Published family output: Ford Performance published crate rating in the high-500 hp class. That is not a dynamometer result for this serial.

What buyers should verify

Stamped engine code, oil pan shape, engine mounts, exhaust manifolds or turbo/blower hardware, and whether the harness and ECU in the vehicle match this generation. Send this SKU with the VIN on an engine enquiry before freight is scheduled.

Included assembly information

Crate dress is whatever is photographed and named on this listing. Accessory drive, ECU, flywheel/flexplate, and oil pan are not assumed. Request a parts list if the installing shop needs one in writing.

Installation considerations

Crate engines need an accessory drive, oil pan, flywheel or flexplate, and a calibration that match the chassis. Cooling, oil, and break-in procedure are the installing shop’s work. A crate rating is not a certification, CARB exemption, or emissions stamp.

Shipping considerations

The engine ships on a pallet as freight after the delivery ZIP, residential versus shop, and liftgate needs are confirmed. Cost and transit depend on destination. Tracking is issued when the carrier has the pallet.

Warranty information

Crate-engine coverage is confirmed in writing before purchase. Do not assume a published duration, mileage cap, or labor allowance until it appears on the sales agreement. See the warranty page for how terms are presented on this site.
