Horsepower TV's 5.0L crate engine made 465hp

I don't know if any of you watch Power Block on Spike, but they built a Factory Five '33 Hot Rod for Ford Racing's booth at SEMA. The engine they are using is a brand new 5.0L DOHC crate engine. With a CARB certified intake, exhaust, and tune, the engine made 465hp on the engine dyno. Granted, the Horsepower dyno has been known to be a little generous, but this result is about the same as what they've dyno'd a crate LS3 at in the past. Ford is making it easy for hot rod and muscle car builders to be environmentally concious and still make big power.

By the time you go through a transmission and a rear end you probably get 414 horsepower or what ever it is rated at from the factory for the mustang. Although they probably use a freer flowing exhaust and intake and no air silencer box or other OEM mustang stuff that can rob a few ponies here and there. Was it a stock tune? or custom or tweaked tune?

When they dyno'd it, the intake looked like a stock style intake box and tube. The headers looked aftermarket though. They ran a stock tune as they wanted it to be CARB certified, the goal of the project was for Ford Racing to show off a crate engine with big power and 50 state emission compliance.

Was it the Cammer 5L or crate Coyote 5L? I ran into one of the hosts at a car show a couple years ago and practically begged him to use the Cammer in a build but he said it was too expensive.

Coyote.

That measurement was on the engine dyno, not a chassis dyno. That is hp at the flywheel.

If you look closely at the headers it said "Ford Racing" on them.

 

Edsel, all manufacturers rate their engines at the flywheel, no one rates them at the rear wheels. The Mustangs 412 is at the flywheel.

 

Even allowing for an optomistic dyno 465 is a good number!
