If you're diving into a Coyote build, you’ll want a solid base to work from, and that’s where the Aluminator Short Block comes into play. Hand-assembled right here in the U.S., this beast features some serious components like Manley® connecting rods with ARP® rod bolts and Mahle® forged pistons. You’ve got two compression options to choose from: a solid 9.5:1 for a reliable daily driver or a punchy 12.0:1 if you’re looking to really crank up the horsepower.
This isn’t just any short block; it’s built for those who want to customize their engine to fit their specific needs. With a 5.0L displacement (that’s 302 cubic inches for those keeping score), you’re starting with a strong foundation. The Gen 3 production aluminum cylinder block is no joke—it’s got cross-bolted main bearing caps and thick bulkheads to handle some serious power down low.
What’s cool about this setup is its versatility. You can slap on Gen 1, 2, or 3 cylinder heads, even the GT350 heads, as long as you use the right gasket for the generation. Just keep in mind that the oil pump, pickup, and oil pan aren’t included, so you’ll want to grab those separately to complete your build.
This thing is precision internal balanced and ready to take whatever you throw at it. Whether you’re chasing down that quarter-mile time or just want to enjoy the thrill of a well-built engine, the Aluminator Short Block is a fantastic choice.

Note:
So if you’re ready to get serious about your build, this short block is a great step towards making your dream engine a reality.
