The Best Engines - 2018 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8

[@javajack9197]

I am all for The Best Engines becoming a normal part of your content.

yes it should. might grab more watchers

[@mr.boostang2064]

Same here. Do more plz

[@PianoScottDeBoer]

I agree, like to look at a specific engine design. You might even consider expanding it out to doing engines from the past and why they were the best at that time.

[@MrGaryGG48]

Thanks Jason! I think what I like best regarding your approach to these reviews is keeping it to a single car/model per video. Many of the others out there like to group several together and most of them I'm not interested in. Keep up the technical descriptions. The in-depth descriptions make your reviews far more interesting. Many of them out there aren't much more than "video P/R promo sheets." To me, this is much more worth watching. Well done, thanks again... Gary

[@bkranz-1283]

5.0 also has a really nice power band as well. It can pull in high rpm range pretty well and still has low end grunt. You just have to drive one to see and feel how nice this engine drives. It's also proven very reliable and has massive aftermarket opportunity. Absolutely love this motor.

[@lobbyrobby]

I agree with the pulling in high rpms. These coyotes scream but the low end torque is pretty lame imo

[@Oliver-ft2fq]

@@lobbyrobby I own one and I can agree. The engine is fast under high acceleration sure but it’s missing that low end pushrod v8 torque that pins you to your seat and makes city driving fun.

[@dieseltech386]

Finally someone talking about engines verse talking about the comforts of the automobile.

[@maxo963]

Sitting in my 19 need for green gt grinning my ass off watching this like its news. This car kicks major ass and is worth every penny

[@rafaellastracom6411]

As impressive as the horsepower figure is the real news is that torque, 420 lb-ft from 5.0 liters is outstanding.

[@Hellrazor0916]

Rafael Lastra com eh. My Sonic does 140ft lbs out of 1.8l

[@rafaellastracom6411]

That´s actually a great figure for a 1.8l.

[@CDCgames96]

The 2018 Ford Fiesta ST gets 220 ft Lbs from a 1.5 litre engine

[@rafaellastracom6411]

LeaderFox96 Sure but that's a turbo-charged engine.

[@Larcona_]

It truly is a great time for cars.

[@AlejandroBelloRD]

Please, do post more content for this new segment. Nobody else explains these engine innovations besides bragging about more displacement/power figures and engine sound.

[@raydog1111]

Agreed! I own a 2018 Mustang GT and did a lot of research. Still learned some stuff from this vid!

[@stanzgarage]

Alejandro Bello So true!

[@draxus1266]

Fact.

[@Twoseasons2]

If you ever get the chance you have to do one for the Lexus LFA engine

[@r3wturb0x51]

Gangsterlife333 best engine of all time right there. technically its yamaha, since yamaha designed it

[@themindgarage8938]

I came here specifically to say exactly that.

[@mitchellsteindler]

r3wturb0x Yamaha did not design that engine...they HELPED design the exhaust

[@Twoseasons2]

Yeah thats what I thought too. I think they only helped "design" the exhaust note.

[@devinbender8428]

Gangsterlife333 4.8L making 350lbft of torque is weak!!!! That’s one of the biggest issues with the LFA. NO BALLS!!!!!

[@justinp8946]

Love the 5.0

[@woman.driven]

Great info on the 5.0. Hopefully you can do one on the 5.2L from the GT350.

[@GMCBigBlock420]

Yeah! I would love to see The flat plane crank Voodoo get it’s time in the spotlight!

[@origionalwinja]

yeah, ill second that!! 5.2 please!!

[@tersy9862]

Does anyone know why they stopped making it 🥲

[@woodyfive0]

I love how you put it “some simple math” then continue in Greek.

[@justinluttrell1769]

The advanced math is hieroglyphics.

[@rudfil]

That new 5.0 in the 2018 Mustang GT sounds fantastic especially when reved up. One of the best sounding V8s at any cost.

[@Sam-lr9oi]

I think I'm gonna like this series. Mercedes M103 maybe? Or the AMC 4.2 Straight 6? Both known for their longevity if I'm not mistaken. Also that plasma steel coating is really cool and creative sounding. Almost like those engineers are pretty smart people or something!

[@unlisted9494]

Longevity, and in the case of the M103, power potential. People have made huge power reliably with unopened m103's. There's a drift car making over 700hp with one reliably with nothing else internally but valve springs. I love the fact that nobody knows about it or cares about the cars they come in, because they're all cheap as dirt.

[@DrifterD]

This is why I love Mustangs. Gotta love those V8s

[@alex_k1410]

Drifter D Ford has made a fantastic V8 for this generation of Mustang, huge applause to them!

[@adrianpeterson9668]

I like my V8s to have 1 cam and 1 cam only

[@hmackprotection1]

Drifter D, no this is NOT why you “love” Mustang.. you honestly love Mustang is because of its low price, & because you’re just like the over 5mil other Mustang owners who also love being a part of a large group.. from day one 1964 1/2 till now, the #1 main reason people “love” Mustang is simply because they’re low price

[@DrifterD]

T U I don't live in the USA, so I cannot relate to your points

[@prushimush]

Solid axles, pushrods, cam swaps you can do in an afternoon in your driveway half in the bag on cheap beer. I really like this about my 1986 Foxbody Mustang, although it's 60s tech compared to this. Simplicity is a big benefit for hotrodders and hobbyists - although this engine makes my old 5.0 look like a Flathead.

[@rizzlerazzleuno4733]

Amazing improvements of the 5.0L (classic 302 cu.in.) engine since the days when it first had to use unleaded fuel and serious emission controls. In the Mustang II the 302 had only 139 hp. I owned a 1986 Mustang, the first year for fuel injection in the Mustang, and it had 200 hp, plus got 25 mpg at 70 mph. Now the 5.0 has 480 hp in the Bullitt version. Wonderful what science and engineering can accomplish.....and still get about 25 mpg on the freeway.

[@faceup5]

The 5.0 Liter Coyote engine is always great (I have a 2017) but that new plastic engine cover is just so ugly! Rip that thing off and throw it in the garbage.

[@tonyfortier8835]

Why do companies put plastic covers.on engines ? They are pointless.

[@baronvonlimbourgh1716]

Especially that one. Cheap plastic just kinda hovering above the engine. Other brands at least use better looking often painted plastic to make it look like you are actually looking at an engine. Here it is just an obstruction in your view.

[@Pappy63]

Lol. Mine is a garage wall hanger! The sound tube is next to be deleted. Damn thing looks like a large intestine with a couple tumors. Ford should pay more attention to engine beauty. You hearing this Ford? Gearheads want to see the engine!

[@Pappy63]

@@tonyfortier8835 Most covers have insulation on bottom to absorb engine noise, such as injectors and valve train. They are ugly! Chevy slaps those hemi size valve cover, covers on the LS because they're ashamed of the puney look.

[@HeavyMetalCowboy90]

It’s for noise cancellation AND it protects wiring from animals chewing on it, and damage from anything possibly falling them etc.

At first I hated the way this new Mustang looks but now it's definitely growing on me(especially with that blue colour)

[@spindash64]

Personally, i blame their obsession with advertising the charoal grey color instead of the classical cherry red, or some other bright color Yes, i know this comment is 6 years old, but i stick to my guns: car companies need to be less boring with the colors they show us

[@HutcH68]

Having just purchased a 2019 Mustang GT Premium I loved coming back to watch it.

[@wc7102]

[@ianriggs]

Please do the 2008-2013 nissan/Infiniti vq engine. It won a lot of awards, especially the VHR

[@mikeymike4g63]

ianriggs not to mention something that's actually revolutionary when it comes to engine innovation (Nissan's VVEL)... unlike the Miller cycle rehash that Mazda keeps cringily revisiting. He did a video on it as if it was the best thing since sliced bread and fried apricots. Check out the vq37VHR!

[@PsykoticStang]

mikeymike4g63 actually Mazda is in testing with a revolutionary engine called SkyActive-X

[@mikeymike4g63]

Michael Doucet it's not that impressive and a major part of how it works is just the boring Miller cycle nonsense they implemented in the Mazda millennia. The Nissan VQ37vhr actually has really interesting technology in it that no other engine has. There are no intake camshafts, the valve lift is infinitely adjustable as well as timing. That's right, the lift can go from almost closed to almost race-cam levels of lift (over 0.430 inches factory set, 0.500 maximum). This is pretty impressive and deserves more coverage considering it's been out since at least 2008...

[@MOS6582]

It's interesting technology but it will only be applied in 4cyl engines in boring family hatches. If they made it into an 8000rpm 3.5L V8 in and put it in a toyota 86 sized RWD manual-only coupe - that would be cool. Proper 21st century Miata.

[@mikeymike4g63]

MOS6582 look up how the Miller cycle engine works, it's ridiculous. it requires a supercharger because the intake valve doesn't close, the charge pressure is used to keep compression in the engine. this can't work in high performance settings because you're going to exceed the supercharger's capability to hold that compression in the cylinder. it's just ridiculous.

[@decarlorichards]

[@GR-uc1gq]

Scorpion7substance how much more do you like your Corvette. Im thinking of buying either

[@Scorpion7substance]

GT 350 vs Base C7 would be a hard choice but GT vs Base Stingray, I would choose the Stingray. I like it a lot better, feels lower, trq on the low end is very good and handles very well. The Corvette is built very well aluminum chassis, lighter, targa top and functional vents all around. I would recommend getting the Z51 version so if you do want to go to the track you will have a dry sump oiling system which is better than wet sump. Also the Z51 will give you a good base like to build up the car for the track. I would only recommend the Stingray Z51 and Grand Sport. The Z06 not so much because of the heat issues but I think the newer versions use better heat exchanges for the blower.

[@Davido50]

[@jamesgarcia8194]

In Australia it's like Ford vs Holden, I'm Holden all day but this is such a nice car how can you not like Mustangs! They've replaced the domestic Falcon with Mustangs over here so it was interesting to watch this and learn about the internals. Petty sure they will be racing in the supercars series too, I wonder if they will use this 5.0l engine? This is my favourite channel hands down, love your work! Please keep it up 👌

[@cardiod]

Hi Jason. Thank you for the informative video. As a suggestion, can you include a comparison of the engines you review including specs such as: power, torque, weight, fuel consumption, efficiency and depict the info graphically. Also, it would be interesting to include EVs in your review too. Many thanks from Australia

[@andycocchia4202]

I think the Porsche flat 6 and the ford ecoboost V6 should get awards, both are getting 600+ HP out of a 6 cylinder engine!

[@benjaminwayneb]

Michael Jordon The 2.7 Ecoboost is also an award winner.

[@veneratedmortal4369]

1 atmosphere is 14.7psi at sea level, if you have an engine with 7psi of boost technically the engine size is the equivalent of 1.5 times that of what it actually is. So 4 liters is 6, however most modern performance turbo are around 12 to 14 psi, making them double. When you consider that most engines end up very similar in efficiency.

[@mattyoz0]

@Class Act gt3 rs 4.0 n/a flat six 520hp

Keep in mind a turbocharged or supercharged 5.0 will make far more power than the Porsche boxer or ecoboost V6. But yes, those are fantastic engines as well =)

[@CoyoteFTW]

Better than the LS yes I thinkso wait until it’s more available. Not to mention the 5.2L flat plane V8. DOHC V8s from Ford are the future.

[@MB-jz3uu]

leeleelee i mean the future is electric. In 10 years im sure we'll have an electric car that competes with these v8s for bang for ur buck. Im an ls fan but its hard to ignore the future of electric even if they have no sound

[@hochhaul]

These DOHC V8 "engines of the future" only just match the much higher displacement 6.2 LT1 in fuel economy while delivering 25 lb-ft less torque, all while requiring far more than double the number of moving parts. The Coyote is the future due to emissions regulations, NOT fuel efficiency, power output, or physical dimensions.

[@CoyoteFTW]

hochhaul - it’s a DOHC it’s going to use more parts. That doesn’t mean anything. If you’re so keen on moving parts. Leave it NA. Displacement wise the coyote is smaller making more horsepower and solution to torque would be forced induction. 4 valves breath better. The current coyote makes more power than the current LT. for example the 7.0L in the 2013 z/28 made 505hp the 5.2L in the 2015 Mustang gt350 makes 525hp. So those “moving parts” are there for a reason

[@K_GHOST225]

V8's have never been the future. A smaller v12 will get you to 200mph more efficiently and scream a much nicer sound, but Ferrari did that before the Ford Mustang was popular lmao. Electric really is the future, nothing can or will beat it. If they don't produce more power, they have better range. I should mention the main electric car company, Tesla, produces luxury Sedans that can beat Dodge's best effort at a street legal drag car... and they don't have to compromise a luxurious interior.

[@veneratedmortal4369]

Why do people like a flat plane? You make a rumbeling v8 sound like a 4 cylinder. V8 is not supposed to sound uniform or even.

[@marcobala9284]

@@GooglePixelGoogle lol😱💪😂😄😄

[@BepBepStev]

My 4.2 v6 had "the tick" since it was new and it lasted about as long as any other v6. All the ticking is is just noise from a single cylinder. At idle, not every cylinder is contributing the same power, usually one is contributing more. Ie an inline 6. 1 15% 2 10% 3 35% 4 10% 5 15% 6 10% Something like that. The cylinder thats contributing more is going to have more sound through it, and will sometimes have that tick. Its not valves running with no oil, that is a different sound and way way way more noticible. Apply that to a v8 and its the same damn thing. Also, thats why diesels have a rhythmic knock as well.

[@THEgameDeity]

Still salty they didn't drop the 5.0 a few years sooner. It's turned into a legitimate beast over the years.

[@brianhilligoss]

TheGameDeity not a Ford guy but have to agree with you on what a great engine the coyote is evolving into. I’m not a fan of the new liners though. Sounds like you no longer can bore them out during a rebuild. But I’m sure dart will figure out a sleeve for these in a few years.

[@MrErikw26]

brian hilligoss could always bore and sleeve like you would any other engine. I'm sure machinists already have been doing this with these engines.

[@brianhilligoss]

MrErikw26 very true. I still believe a true cast liner would be better for longevity.

[@MrErikw26]

brian hilligoss idk about longevity, but certainly for serviceability

[@tedjones-ho2zk]

I have a couple of questions about the sprayed in cylinder liners. Do you know the durability of the liners, I have read that they are just under .006 in thickness. So with the pistons going up and down over thousands of miles, how long before the liners wear out and your into the aluminum block. Also with the heat cycle of the engine would the liners ever flake off at some point?

[@jay4627]

RWHP dyno testing and 1/4 mile track times have proved this engine is decently underrated from the factory, likely done to protect the GT350. Basically with a full offroad exhaust, intake, and a tune for e85 through a real tuner like Lund, you can get 500 hp to the wheels. That's pretty impressive for a claimed 460hp at the crank. About the transmission, Ford is really crapping the bed with this MT82 (manual), which seams to actually have gotten worse, and requires some aftermarket tinkering just to be called decent. The 10 speed performance really cannot be matched by a person shifting, which is sad because I actually enjoy driving my 2012 5.0 MT82 car after the required upgrades.

[@Blitz6804]

A ten speed!? That's insane.

[@LordFlockAmen]

Save maybe some of the anemic late 70s/early 80s model years.

[@ollimatik]

One engine that I always remember was in a Mack truck... it was around 1974 vintage R model Mack... quite advanced in its day. The turbo on the exhaust (while not a new concept back then, was not so as common as big diesel turbos became later) would divert some of the charge air to a smaller turbo which then pumped ambient air to an air-to-air charge air cooler. I was a kid of around 14 yrs old then, and rode in the truck... the sound that engine would make as it loaded up was just amazing...! To hear the small turbo begin to spool... still sends shivers down my spine! Would be neat to get your take on the engineering that happened at Mack trucks... they did some very innovative engineering back in 60's and 70's. The engine was the ENDT 676 Maxidyne... very cool!

Yep, direct injection only causes carbon buildup on valves and isn't the most efficient option for all workloads.

The Ford engineers were smart about it trying to give customers a more powerful engine and also having longevity and reliability.

[@Leander311]

Lexus had PI/DI in the IS-350 and also IS-F. Both incredible mills. In fact, this 5.0 from Ford is finally up to par with said IS-F's 5.0 mill exactly one decade later. In car years, that's an eternity. Welcome to yesterday, Ford!

Nice video Jason! I think at some point you should take a look at the smaller EcoBoost engines Ford make. I mean, sure, they aren't these badass huge V8s that most people love seeing, but they are really interesting little motors and are put into cars that the average Joe can afford. Plus, they don't make you feel guilty about how much fuel you burn. Both the 1.0L and the 1.5L (the one that's in the new Fiesta ST) are cool!

[@daltonv5206]

[@devinbender8428]

Αποστόλης Νικάκης I love the ecoboost! 3.5 making 450+hp in most cars 600+ in one ;) 2.7 making close to400hp 2.3 making 380 2.0 making 280 1.5 making 200 1.0 making 120 Those are impressive numbers I don’t care who you are

[@959tolis626]

Dalton v Well, I don't like burning a gallon of fuel every time I look at the throttle. You know, global warming and all.

[@959tolis626]

Devin Bender Exactly! And taking it a step further, it's impressive what people can do with those. There have been a ton of 250+HP Fiesta STs that are quick as hell (they weight nothing after all) and are also capable daily drivers that are reliable and comfy. I mean, damn Ford.

Unfortunately these engines are crap because of the spray in liner causing early wear and piston slap. I know because I have one and I'm on my second engine because of scoring at cylinder 4

[@underfedcoyote5.022]

tb12269 your not alone ford is buying my car back because of multiple failures the short block failed first at 4600 an then the 10r80 failed at 5100 miles. Got the car back an the new motor started to tick or knock guess ford calls it piston slap that’s what they wrote on my papers

[@JohanSalvattore]

tb12269 you can’t blame 1.3% of these engines that have gone bad as a whole. The engine is awesome it just needs some tweaks as well the transmission. Unfortunately the trial and error is coming at the expense of a few thousand customers. Mind you I have an 18 mustang GT myself.

[@underfedcoyote5.022]

Joao Salvattore keep Your fingers crossed it doesn’t happen to you I know of many bought back already An many traded because of issues. It’s a lot bigger then you think. Your allowed to think whatever way you want it’s not just the mustangs either the f-150 coyotes are failing at alarming rates too. 2 guys last night on the forum I follow 1 with a rousch blower at 14k an the other one 5800k main bearings eaten.

You guys wouldn't know in the states but Ford's best engine is the Turbo 4L Barra motor which was in Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo's between 2003 and 2016 made in Geelong, Vic, Australia. Easiest way to make big power on very little mods and tough as nails. You should definitely look them up for this series

[@Canuck307]

Not even a Ford guy, GM at heart. But this is a great engine. Great video.

[@DroneClipper]

You were right, I came for the fuel economy info.

[@jonfklein]

Would be nice to know specifically why the engine won the awards. In other words what in particular is special about the engine?

[@matthewd6306]

You would have to look up their criteria for the awards they give out. I would assume price is included. You would expect a 500k Lambo to have a great engine, but to get over 450hp and 400tq in a car less than 40k in 2019 is Insane. To get 450hp in a stock car 15yrs ago you needed to spend over 100k.

[@WolfPackM98c]

Literally nothing. The technologies on these engines that is allowing them to make that power has been implemented in other engines since earlier than 2000. It's not particularly reliable or engineered to take up little space. I imagine it won awards from throwing money at the right people.

[@WolfPackM98c]

@@matthewd6306 In early 2000's you could get a 400/400 LS2 in a GTO for 32K. That was a detuned V8 making those numbers, meaning you could easily make 20-50 hp spending lunch money. Much better designed engine, too. Not sure why they chose a Coyote before an LS to make a video about engines. The LS is literally a legend across the entire globe.

[@freedomfirst5420]

[@tarrySubstance]

I like the video do more of these

[@avgFloridian]

I believe the 5.0 naming designation for the original 5.0L 302 was to differentiate it from the 4.9L inline six cylinder truck/van engine, probably for sales purposes. The Coyote was called 5.0 mostly for nostalgic purposes. I dig the engine videos man. Very cool.

[@scottkrafft6830]

The original 5.0s were reliable engines, but remarkably bad for performance. They made about 130 HP, and were offered in trucks and vans like the E-150 and F-series alongside the 300 I6. It wasn't until the late 80's that the Mustang 5.0 gained a reputation. Every other version (in the F-series, E-series, and probably a couple cars) still made good ol' malaise-era 130 HP right until they were discontinued. At least Ford got their stuff together with this one.

[@avgFloridian]

They made 210-215hp stock in the Mustang (1985) and Explorer (1998-2001). Not great, no, but a moderate Holly carb, AFR heads and a Victor Jr intake on a stock bottom end made 550hp (530hp in a similar EFI setup). That's more performance than you'll ever need on the street, in a much smaller package than the mod motors that make a big block look smaller than average. It depends on what you your end goal is, what you have, and what you have to spend. If I were to engine swap my car right now, the old motor gets me there for several thousand less.

[@timyanke9559]

Good theory. But I ask why is a gm 350ci called a 5.7l and a ford 351ci called a 5.8l and a dodge 360ci called a 5.9? I think ford likes to round up.

[@avgFloridian]

Well... 350 is 5.73L, 351 is 5.75L, 360 is 5.89L but we don't go to the hundredths place so the appropriately round to 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9 respectively. The only weird one is the 302, which is 4.94L being rounded to 5.0L. Their 300 I6 is 4.91L. Those would both round to 4.9L, which is confusing to truck/van buyers where both engines were offered. The 302 is also 4.94889L, which is almost 4.95L that would then round to 5.0L. No, it's not totally honest, but the 300 was developed before the 302, so they had to find a simple way to differentiate the two. Some other engines they've had were the 140CID Lima, which was called 2.3L, and that was 2.29L. The 153CID version was called the 2.5L, and it was actually 2.50722L. The Essex V6 was 232CID which is 3.80L, and they called it the 3.8L. In 2004 it became 237CID, which is 3.88L, and they called it a 3.9L. There was also a 256CID version that replaced the old 300 I6. That comes out to 4.195L, and they called it 4.2L. It's all standard rounding convention by everyone across the board. The only one that's different is the 302/5.0L.

[@usahd7745]

Average Floridian the 5.0 pushrod was known to split in half down the block at numbers exceeding 500hp and even required aftermarket block braces to prevent it from happening.

[@trumanbeal]

Seriously one of the best overviews of the coyote to date. Puts motortrend to shame.
