2011-2019 5.0L CoyoteTechnical ReferenceThe 2015 model year marked the first majordesign changes for the 5.0L Coyote enginesince its introduction in 2011. In 2018 the 5.0LCoyote engine was thoroughly reworked,featuring dual-fuel, high pressure directinjection combined with low-pressure portfuel injection technology for increased powerand efficiency. To date, the 2018-2019 Coyoteoffers the most amount of differences whencompared to 2011-2017 versions of the past.To help distinguish between the differencegenerations of engines the Gen 1, Gen 2,and Gen 3 designations are used: New cylinder-head casting, includingGen 1 – 2011-2014 MY Mustang GT Rebalanced forged crankshaft thatGen 2 – 2015-2017 MY Mustang GT,Ford Performance M-6007-M50AGen 3 – 2018-2019 MY Mustang GT,Ford Performance M-6007-M50CThe improvements to 2015 Coyote (or Gen2 Coyote) focus on allowing it to breathebetter. The improvements, many of whichare derived from the lessons learnedin developing the special-edition 20122013 Mustang BOSS 302, allow for betterbreathing, especially at higher engine speeds.revised ports that provide a straighterpath to the valves for less-restrictiveintake and exhaust flow and combustionchamber modifications to accommodatelarger valves Sinter forged connecting rods that wereused on the BOSS 302 engine that aremore durable for high-rpm operation Redesigned piston tops with deepercutouts to clear the new larger valvessupports higher-rpm operation A new intake manifold features chargemotion control valves to partially closeoff port flow at lower engine speeds. Thisincreases the air charge tumble and swirlfor improved air-fuel mixing, resulting inbetter fuel economy, idle stability, andlower emissions On the intake side, variable camshaft timingnow has mid-lock phasers allowing bettercontrol of the valve timing over a broaderrange of engine RPMGen 2 Coyote improvements over Gen 1: Larger intake valves Larger exhaust valves Revised intake camshafts Revised exhaust camshafts Stiffer valve springs to ensure that thev alves close completely at high RPMGen 22For Technical assistance please call the Ford Performance Parts Techline at 800-367-3788

2011-2019 5.0L CoyoteTechnical ReferenceGen 3 Coyote improvements over Gen 1, Gen 2: Larger bores to allow for larger valves PTWA (Plasma Transferred Wire Arc)cylinder bores as found on theGT350 5.2L Larger intake valves Larger exhaust valves Revised higher lift intake camshafts Revised higher lift exhaust camshafts S tiffer valve springs to allow for a highermaximum rpm of 7500rpm A ll new, stronger cylinder-head casting,including further revised ports fromGen 2 resulting in flow characteristicsapproaching the CNC’d ports in theGT350 5.2L. Higher compression 12:1 pistonswith deeper cutouts to clear thenew larger valves Rebalanced forged crankshaft thatsupports higher-rpm operation A new revised, higher flowing intakemanifold with the same CMCV featureas introduced on Gen 2 Dual fuel system – Direct Injection andPort Fuel systems which allow for ahigher compression ratio, maximizingperformance and fuel efficiency On the intake side, variable camshafttiming mid-lock phasers carry over fromGen 2. The Exhaust phasers migrate toan in-cylinder head oil control valve forbetter control at all speeds and loads Sinter forged connecting rods carriedover from the BOSS 302 engine andGen 2 CoyoteGen 2Gen 33For Technical assistance please call the Ford Performance Parts Techline at 800-367-3788
