FORD PERFORMANCE 5.2 ALUMINATOR XS CRATE ENGINE

Ford Performance 5.2L Aluminator XS Crate Engine — 580HP | 445 lb-ft | Hand-Assembled | 2-Year Warranty

Meet the pinnacle of Ford Performance crate engine engineering — the 5.2L Aluminator XS, the most powerful naturally aspirated crate engine Ford Performance has ever built. Producing a staggering 580 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torquefrom a 12:1 compression ratio, this is the engine for builders who refuse to compromise. Whether you’re building the ultimate Mustang, a purpose-built hot rod, or a dedicated track weapon, the Aluminator XS delivers factory-backed, hand-assembled performance that no off-the-shelf crate engine can match.

Every Aluminator XS is hand-assembled by the same Ford Performance technicians who build the Mustang Cobra Jet drag racing engines — the same craftsmen, the same standards, the same attention to detail that goes into Ford’s most serious competition machinery. This is not a mass-produced engine. It is a precision-built performance powerplant backed by a 2-Year / 24,000-mile warranty straight from Ford Performance.
