Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500


This alphabet soup horse/person/snake/alpha-numeric naming is getting ridiculous. They just want to include terms from every mustang ever made to try and get old fucks to nostalgia hard for it
But the GT500 name isn't anything new... We just had one last gen...

And I believe if they do use a cross plane crank it will be the 5.0 crank .

Which is basically what they were trying to sell to the public when the 5.2 came out . Everything but the flat plane crank .

Ford needs to either use the boss 6.2 and make a stronger block out of it , or design a beefy small block from scratch that's specific to the 500 . Just my opinion . :toast:

They have a 5.2 criss plane crank already. Announced it PRI two years ago. You can get a crate motor with the 5.2 cross plane and GT350 heads. I think the vibration issue with the flat plane and power levels they can take is why the GT500 will have a cross plane crank.

Ford saved money in tooling and screwed the chances if s big inch coyote based motor. The bore spacing is the same as the last mod motors. So limited in how big of a bite they can use. That is why they went to the plasma lining set up with the 5.8 in the last GT500.

I forget, but the max stroke in these blocks isn't much to write home about. But there is some room there. But again, not LS motor sizes.

Mast just put out a 5.4 stroker for the 5.2 block or itll make 5.2 in a 5.0 block i believe. So a .2 liter gain on the Mast crank.

Unless going full retard with a MMR billet block i dont see the the current engines getting any bigger than 5.4

I agree.
Shelby had nothing to do with the development of the 07+ Cobra's, Ford was just licensing his name :fth: I wish they would drop the Shelby and GT350/500 naming and just call it a Mustang Cobra.

So the snout for the pulley looks like it’s up front but I don’t really see a TB out back :wtf:

I’m really hoping for either a big CI supercharged (6.2l aluminum 4V BOSS) or a twin turbo coyote based motor.

I will be very depressed if it gets a V6 tho like the raptor and ford gt supercar did...

The throttle body angles out to the side.


I don't think we will ever get lucky enough to get a big cube motor. Not anytime in the foreseeable future.
