Ford Performance Aluminator Coyote Short Block

The Ford Performance Aluminator Short Block series is the factory-engineered foundation for serious Coyote-based performance builds. Designed and validated by Ford Performance engineers, each Aluminator Short Block eliminates the most demanding aspect of a custom engine build — sourcing, matching, and assembling precision performance internals — delivering a turn-key short block platform that opens the door to a wide range of power possibilities, from naturally aspirated street builds to heavily boosted competition engines.

Race-Proven Internal Components:

• Mahle hard-anodized forged pistons with Grafal low-friction coating, engineered for high-horsepower, high-demand applications
• Manley H-beam connecting rods paired with ARP2000 rod bolts for exceptional strength and fatigue resistance under sustained performance use
• Forged steel crankshaft delivering proven bottom-end durability across naturally aspirated and forced induction builds
• Production aluminum cylinder block featuring cross-bolted main bearing caps and thick main bearing bulkheads for maximum bottom-end rigidity, with optimized oil drainback and windage control for high-rpm performance
• Billet oil pump gears for reliable oiling under demanding conditions
• Precision internally balanced rotating assembly for smooth, reliable high-rpm operation
• Multiple compression ratio configurations available across the product line to suit naturally aspirated and forced induction power goals

Factory Hand-Assembled Quality:

• Every unit is hand assembled in the United States by the same technicians who built the Mustang Cobra Jet drag racing engines
• Built and validated to OEM-level fatigue testing standards — the same rigorous process production engines must pass
• Precision internal balance performed at the factory — no additional balancing required
• Assembled with performance clearances and rigorous quality control at every stage

Ready to Complete Your Build:

• Arrives fully assembled and ready to accept cylinder heads, camshafts, timing set, and oil system components
• Compatible with a broad range of Coyote cylinder heads and supporting hardware
• Ford Performance offers a complete line of complementary components — heads, camshafts, oil systems, control packs, and more — to finish the build

The Ford Performance Aluminator Short Block series gives enthusiasts and professional engine builders a race-proven, factory-backed starting point without the guesswork of independently sourcing and assembling performance internals. Whether the goal is street performance, drag strip dominance, or road course duty, the Aluminator Short Block delivers the precision Coyote foundation that serious Ford performance builds demand.
