*Special Order - Current Ship Time 21 Days*

Ford 5.0L “Dark Horse” Long Block — 2024 S650 (Upgrade for GT)

Built to howl. Tuned to win. This OEM long block is the real 2024 Mustang Dark Horse™ 5.0L foundation—and a stout upgrade for 2024 Mustang GT builds. Ford’s latest Coyote architecture blends dual (DI + PFI) fuel paths, Ti-VCT, high-flow heads, and dual-throttle architecture to support the Dark Horse’s factory 500 hp capability when paired with the correct induction, exhaust, and calibration.

Direct replacement: 2024 Mustang Dark Horse
Performance upgrade: 2024 Mustang GT (requires compatible intake, electronics, and calibration)

Why it hits

• 12.0:1 compression with hypereutectic pistons for crisp response and durability.

• Forged steel crankshaft and sintered steel rods—Dark Horse-grade bottom end.

• PTWA liner coating on the aluminum block for low friction, heat transfer, and ring seal.

• High-flow DOHC heads with longer 12 mm head bolts for increased clamp load.

• Dual throttle body architecture capable (intake not included).

• 9.5-qt steel oil pan for sustained high-RPM oil control.

Core specs

• Break-in with correct oil spec and procedure recommended by the manufacturer/tuner.

• Confirm header/manifold fit on the driver-side 5.2L-pattern flange.

Builder’s checklist

• Match to 2024 S650 chassis, verify VIN/emissions requirements in your state.

• Choose intake/rails/injectors and exhaust to meet target power and emissions goals.

• Plan for cooling, PCV, and EVAP routing with your intake and calibration.

• If boosting, consult your tuner for fuel system and head-gasket/surface finish requirements.
