Meet the Gen 4 Coyote V8 Crate Motors –
First, we have the Gen 4 COYOTE V8 crate motor, which packs a serious punch under the hood. This bad boy has dual-throttle bodies, ensuring maximum airflow and power delivery. With a hefty 480 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque, this engine means business. Whether you’re tearing up the track or cruising the streets, the Gen 4 COYOTE is ready to roar.
But wait, there’s more. Ford Performance isn’t stopping there. Introducing its sibling, the Gen 4X COYOTE V8 crate motor. This variant features a single-throttle body design optimized for better fitment in various vehicles. While it may have a single throttle body, don’t let that fool you. The Gen 4X still packs a punch with 460 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. It may be a tad less powerful than its dual-throttle sibling, but make no mistake; it’s still a force to be reckoned with on the road.

Both crate motors feature a compression ratio that’ll make your heart race: 12.0:1 for the dual-throttle Gen 4 and 12.1:0 for the single-throttle Gen 4X. With 12-millimeter head bolts, cross-bolted main bearing caps, and a 9.5-quart steel oil pan, these engines are designed for maximum performance and durability.
Power and Pricing –
Now, let’s talk business. The Gen 4 COYOTE V8 crate motor will set you back $11,500, while its sibling, the Gen 4X, comes in at the same price point. Considering the adrenaline-pumping power you’re getting under the hood, that’s a steal.
