Over the past several decades, Ford has relied heavily upon the use of various modular engines when equipping their latest production vehicles. By all accounts, this is an approach that has paid dividends for the automaker, as the overall cost of engine production has been slashed, and the process of acquiring parts has been streamlined. Along the way, Ford has produced a number of reliable engines, many of which have served as true workhorses.
However, the bulk of Ford’s earlier modular platforms pale in comparison to the company’s now-infamous “Coyote” V8. Initially debuting in 2010, the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 blurred the line between practicality and performance, proving just how potent a modular engine could be. Today, the Coyote V8 has found its way beneath the hood of several Ford vehicles, including the Mustang GT. In this format, the Coyote dishes out more than 400-horsepower, without sacrificing anything in the way of reliability or efficiency.
