Building a 2,000-plus-horsepower Coyote for a four-wheel-drive F-150 project was an eye-opener. With that in mind, That Racing Channel decided to commission a custom, twin-turbo engine package that one luck winner might put in their F-150 or Mustang by winning it via a raffle.
Stepping inside the Fast Forward Race Engines shop reveals the intense process of handling serious horsepower. Mechanics start with a sleeved and O-ringed Gen 3 block to safely handle extreme boost pressures. Slipping Manley pistons and heavy rods into the cylinders creates an indestructible bottom end. Builders perfectly balanced the crankshaft using custom Mallory metal to offset the heavy rotating mass.
Next, the FFRE team drops fresh cylinder heads onto thick GT500 gaskets to match the custom block grooves. Preventing severe engine damage requires serious attention to detail during this stage. Threading the ARP head studs all the way down and backing them off one full turn stops the hardware from cracking the heavy casting.
Supplying enough lubrication to this monster requires a highly capable oil pump. Spinning a fresh billet gear pump on a custom testing rig proves its capability before final installation. The unit easily pushed 95 pounds of pressure and flowed nearly 10 gallons per minute at low rpm.
Afterward, the FFRE team installed the camshafts, locked out the timing, and dressed the entire motor with a front cover and oil pan. Finally, a custom Daylight Performance twin-turbo system wraps around the completed block. Aligning the primary Precision turbos automatically positions the downpipes and wastegates without requiring custom fabrication work.
