I had read about the FRT 5.0L Cammer crate motor two years ago. It was supposed to be on the market sometime this year. I tried and tried, but can't find them for sale yet. The motor is a bored & stroked 4.6 DOHC. It's got all sorts of goodies in it:
- Larger cylinders (94mm vs. 90.2mm) for 5.0 liters
- Flanged cylinder liners
- Reinforced crankcase web areas
- Forged pistons
- 11.0:1 compression ratio
- Ported heads
- Higher-lift cams (12mm vs. 10mm)
- Beehive-shaped valve springs to accommodate the higher lift
- Modified roller-finger followers
- Multi-layer steel-insert head gaskets
- Higher-flow fuel injectors
- 3-piece cast-magnesium variable geometry intake manifold
- Higher-flow, dual-cone-spray fuel injectors
I think it was intended for sale as a hot-rodders dream... meant to be used in custom applications like vintage Mustangs, F100's, and Ford street rods. I'd like to get my hands on a long block and bolt it into my MM. It'll take care of that "ticking" and give me about 430 N/A hp, as well.
Let me know if any of you have information on this crate motor.
