Since the release of the new 2011 Ford Mustang 5.0L earlier this year, interest from enthusiasts and the performance market in the return of the legendary engine in modern form has virtually gone through the roof. Meanwhile, the venerable old 302’s remain very popular today, and performance parts for those engines are still on the radar of many manufacturers. As enthusiasts in the never-ending search for horsepower where strong internals are a must, some can only be held to the stock pieces for only so long.
For your 5.0L rotating assembly needs, Scat has got you covered with their new crankshaft offerings for the 5.0L engines. For the earlier 5.0L’s they have available the Scat 9000 Series crankshaft that can be had in strokes of 3.250″ and 3.400″, featuring their straight shot oiling system, balanced to 28-ounces, and compatible with early and late model blocks. This crank is rated to handle upwards of 550 horsepower.
Meanwhile, the new forged 4340 crankshaft, offered as a standard weight or lightweight version, is targeted at the new 2011 5.0L engine, with a 3.00″ stroke and intended for street and racing applications. With this crank buttoned up in your engine, look for it to easily take the brunt of 900 horses.
