Ford Performance 460ci Crate Engine - Rear Sump by Ford Performance

Ford Performance 460ci Crate Engine

Drop in the biggest small block Windsor crate engine into your Mustang or Ford Lightning, with Ford Performance's Z460 crate engine! Ford Performance hand-built this engine with premium quality parts right here in the USA! This engine starts off with a Boss 351 engine block, and is then filled with SCAT forged crankshaft and connecting rods, Mahle forged pistons, and Clevite bearings. This ensures the engine can handle anything you throw at it! Ford Performance High Port Z cylinder heads are utilized to maximize airflow while remaining lightweight. This combination resulted in a 10.0:1 compression ratio where Ford Performance saw a power output of 575 horsepower @ 5,500 RPM, and 575 lb.-ft of torque @ 4,700 RPM!
