Even during a gas crunch when the government has
tightened gas standards, the 5.0L engine is being given another chance to relive its glory days. The next model of the Ford Mustang is projected to have a 5.0L option, and aftermarket companies, including Saleen, have responded accordingly.
We’ve seen Saleen’s 302 cubic inch engine in the past few years used in their
Parnelli Jones Edition, the
Heritage Series, as well as the
25th Anniversary Sterling Edition.
But for the first time in the aftermarket giant’s history, they’re selling their high performance 302 premium crate engines through their Saleen Aftermarket Division.
Gearheads itching to have a go at these crate engines will have their choice of either the short or long blocks. Saleen always seems to keep the true enthusiasts in mind.
“This addition to our aftermarket product lineup was a no brainer,” says Carlos Duran, Manager of Saleen’s Speedlab Aftermarket Division, “This engine is currently at high production rates, which allow for quick delivery to Saleen Speedlab consumers. We want to provide our customers with the utmost in confidence relating to this new line of products.”
