A loaded GT 350 is a better buy.

What a rip off... 75k really LOL for essentially a supercharged 5.0, not even a built motor. GT350 is a much bettter deal.

On this car Shelby dropped the ball. GT 350 is the choice. In house Ford .

The 2015-16 Mustang 5.0 has forged internals, right Stu ?
RusWolf
RusWolf
Nope it does not.. I think they installed slightly better rods, and crank was always forged. However it does not count as proper forged internals such as Aluminator for example.

Forged crank and rods and redesigned pistons, thats what I found when I put it in the search ! ask ROUSH 4

Rods are not forged like aluminator motors...

They said the 2015-16 5.0 forged motor will hold up to 1000hp, the 2011-14 won't.

Came across it on line when I put in 2015 Mustang 5.0 forged motor.

Interesting, i research found that these new motors are similar to BOSS motors, however they are still not fully forged like aluminator or let's say a forged motor you can purchase from MMR, RGR etc etc.

Good motor for a stock GT though, not sure how the 5.2L in the GT350 is made. I found the Aluminator Motor at AM for $10,200

Yeah i know, not a bad motor for just a GT for sure. 5.2 most likely is not the motor you want to boost. As far as Aluminators, we 11-14 owners i think are SOL at this time, because 2015 has different firing order i believe so we either need to go to a 3rd party engine builder or get aluminator short block. I don't think ford racing is producing anymore 11-14 long block motors.

Looks like you can get the Aluminator Motor in the Roush Stage 3 manual trans. as a powertrain upgrade for an extra $8800.
