Compatibility Notes
The Gen 1 and Gen 2 5.0L Coyote blocks are no longer available from Ford. RPG now uses the Gen 3 Coyote block, configured with an 11:1 compression ratio to match the factory Gen 1 and Gen 2 specifications.
The Gen 3 block is fully compatible with both Gen 1 and Gen 2 cylinder heads and timing components, but matching-generation head gaskets must be used with the corresponding cylinder heads.
Head Fastener Note: You must use 12mm long head studs or OEM Gen 3 head bolts. Later Gen 1 or Gen 2 studs/bolts will not fit this block.
