'13/14 Crate engine. Not something you see everyday.

I have a customer who ordered this to have as an extra for his '14 GT500. He also has a '67 GT500 that he bought brand new, and at that time bought a new 427 crate engine for it as well. Anyway, pretty cool to see a $26k crate engine.

This is exactly as it comes from Ford.

Sam, can you snap a shot of the balancer bolt head/washer? Just curious if there were been any running changes there...

And can you see a production date?

Wow. That would be kinda nice. Experiment/beat the piss outta one, and if it gives up, pop in a fresh one! Thing is sexy.

The crank bolt/washer appear to be the same as they've always been, with a big glob of silicone under it. The production date is 04-22-13.

I wonder what your engine build date is? It would be earlier than your cars build date.

Damn I wish I had that kind of money in extra income. Props to the owner.

One of my buddies was one of the first to grenade a trinity... $31k was his bill installed.

Did he at least keep the core? The core charge is only $1200.

Yes..he sold the heads..blower..oil pan and all accessories...block was junk as it was now air conditioned

 

[Ghoust]

That's crazy. 26k for a complete motor!

That's cool to have as a back up!! Nice.

Yea, although a retail repayment price, the price is almost half the price of the car.

Thanks Sam. The shot of the balancer washer helps.

And the production date for that engine....interesting. Assuming that Ford moves the oldest inventory first and in the context of the 2014 MY production in 2013, I have a strong sense that Ford doesn't sell too many of these assemblies.:-D

looks amazing

I wonder if it would be a good idea to put that one in and save the original for a later (40 years) date...or do matching numbers not matter on these cars?
