Ford Racing Parts Announces ‘Build It Your Way’ Pushrod Shortblocks!

M-6009-427FOur friends over at Ford Racing Parts are always innovating new products, and their newest release comes in the form of three new pushrod shortblocks for the Ford crowd. From 347 cubic inches to 363 cubic inches, all the way up to 427 cubic inches, they’ve got you covered with the latest in go-fast gear for your machine. Each one of the shortblocks is precision machined using the latest technologies, and each is also fully-balanced to ensure high-speed smoothness.

M-6009-Z347The three displacements are achieved using SCAT forged steel crankshafts and forged I-beam connecting rods along with Mahle forged pistons, and all rely on the Ford Racing BOSS engine block. The 347 and 363 cubic-inch displacement shortblocks are housed within the 8.2-deck block, while the 427-cube monster uses one of the 9.5-deck Windsor blocks to achieve its final displacement figure.

These shortblocks serve as the foundation for a number of Ford Racing’s crate engines, with the 347 making 415 horsepower as the D347SR sealed racing engine, the 363 puts out 500 horsepower as the Z363 crate engine, and the 427 spins the dyno to 535 horsepower as the Z427 crate piece.

By purchasing one of these foundations as a shortblock, you gain the ability to put your own heads, cam, intake, and oil pan atop the BOSS-blocked base and create your very own engine. With the correct supporting gear, these engines will fit into just about any Ford muscle car, street rod, Fox-body, or later-model Mustang and provide a quick way to get your machine up and running.

Ford has set the following pricing for these short-blocks, and when you consider what you get for the money, it’s not a bad deal at all.

Ford Racing 347 Shortblock – M-6009-347 MSRP $ 4,899

Ford Racing 363 Shortblock – M-6009-363 MSRP $ 4,999

Ford Racing 427 Shortblock – M-6009-427F MSRP $ 5,299
