Magnum 5.2 L V8 At the time of its introduction, the 5.2 L Magnum created 230 hp (172 kW) at 4,100 rpm and 295 lb⋅ft (400 N⋅m) at 3,000 rpm. Production of this engine lasted until 2002, when it was completely replaced by the newer 4.7 L PowerTech SOHC V8 engine.

The Good And The BadIn terms of durability, the Mopar 318 is robust. The bottom end of most 318 engines used a cast-iron crankshaft, and though these are not as desirable as a forged crank, the cast-iron piece has proven to be very reliable.

The 318 four-barrel, used on police pursuit and other cars, produed 165 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque.

Code-named Voodoo and sharing its basic architecture with the Mustang GT’s 435-hp, 5.0-liter Coyote engine, this new powerplant is an altogether wilder animal, producing 526 horsepower at 7500 rpm and 429 pound-feet of torque at 4750.

The cylinder heads on the Coyote are game changers; there is no doubt about that. The aluminum, 4-valve per cylinder heads are a major reason the Coyote engine is able to produce over 400 horsepower from a displacement of only 5.0L. These new heads are highly efficient and have excellent flow.

The 5.0L Coyote engine is a part of Ford’s modular engine series found in 2011-present F150 and Mustang GT models. However, overall these are reliable engines.

Designed more for utilitarian use, the truck Coyote makes up to 395 horsepower with its tune favoring low end torque rather than high RPM zest. Nonetheless it’s still a potent engine that is plentiful on the secondhand market.

Unlike many of the DI engine from other manufacturers, the Coyote combines the high-pressure direct injection with the low-pressure port injection from the previous generations. The dual fuel system also helped support the increase in compression (11.0:1 in Gen 1 and 2 to 12.0:1 in Gen 3).
