Browsing the FordRacingParts.com website yesterday and checked out the modular crate engines currently available and was kind of surprised to see the Boss crate engine is no longer available, which itwas not to long ago. Now your choices are the 3 different versions of the Aluminator, 1 full on Aluminator motor Part# M-6007-A50XS, 1 Aluminator motor with Boss internals 11:1 compression and regular GT intake Part# M-6007-A50NA and 1 Aluminator low GT intake and low compression for supercharging purposes Part# M-6007-A50SC.
I called the tech line and talked to one of the reps. about no longer offering the Boss crate motor and he said the ones they have left are going into race cars and the only option available in the case of engine failure on our Bosses would be to go with the Part# M-6007-A50NA and swap over the intake as the internals are the same, and he went on to add that the pistons and rods are improved versions of what came originally in our Boss. You would also have to swap over the oil pan as well to get out larger version.
Kind of disappointed and discouraged to find this information out as I had to have my engine swapped out under warranty as it was an early run 2012 that developed a knock. Seems that our cars were in fact a 2 year run and now it seems that applies to our motors as well.
