The 2020 to 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 used the 5.2L supercharged 'Predator' V8, rated at about 760 hp and 625 lb-ft. It is a cross-plane-crank version of Ford's 5.2L modular V8, topped with a roots-type supercharger of about 2.65 liters, with DOHC heads, four valves per cylinder, Ti-VCT variable cam timing, and a 9.5:1 compression ratio. It is one of the most powerful factory engines Ford has built.
One point on identity and one on fitment. The GT500 name spans two very different engines: the earlier 2007 to 2014 cars used a supercharged 5.4L or 5.8L V8 (up to 662 hp), while this listing is the 2020+ 5.2L Predator. And the Predator's factory home is the 2020 to 2022 GT500 (a closely related Predator powers the 2023+ F-150 Raptor R); the Mustang GT and Mach 1 use the naturally aspirated 5.0L Coyote, and the modern Ford GT uses a 3.5L EcoBoost V6, so those are not this engine. Confirm by VIN and build.

This engine is the 5.2L supercharged Predator, whose factory home is the 2020 to 2022 Shelby GT500 (a closely related Predator powers the 2023+ F-150 Raptor R). The live list also named the Mustang GT and Mach 1, which use the naturally aspirated 5.0L Coyote, the Ford GT, which uses a 3.5L EcoBoost V6, and a Capri, none of which use this engine; classic Mustangs and hot rods are custom-swap only. The list was corrected to the real application. Confirm by VIN and build. We disclose the donor before shipping.
