Questions about HRC builds
What internals go into an HRC Coyote build?
A Ford Performance forged crankshaft, with the rest of the rotating assembly spec'd to the build's power target — Manley is the usual first call. Heads are typically stock with lockouts, Stage 2 cams are available, and block prep is done to the design spec.
Which Ford engine is the Coyote?
The Coyote is Ford's 5.0-liter V8, used in the Mustang GT and F-150. HRC builds it from naturally aspirated street combinations through to boost-ready short blocks and competition engines.
Does HRC tune engines?
No. HRC builds, assembles and installs in-house; engine tuning is handled by a partner shop. Any power figure shown on this site is a build target, not a tuned result.
Does HRC have a dyno?
No. There is no in-house dynamometer at HRC. Horsepower numbers on this site are the targets a combination is spec'd to reach, never dyno-verified measurements.
Are the horsepower figures on this site verified?
They are build targets, not measured results. A target is the number a combination is specified to make; confirming it needs a dyno session, which is done by a partner shop rather than at HRC.
Who does the machine work?
Machine work is carried out by a partner machine shop in California. Assembly is done in-house on the bench at HRC in Huntington Beach.
Can I visit the shop or buy parts over the counter?
The Huntington Beach location is HRC's headquarters and a by-appointment service bay, not a retail counter open to the general public. Parts are sold online and shipped nationwide; build and installation work is scheduled in advance.
Do you ship parts nationwide?
Yes. HRC ships parts across the United States. The Huntington Beach location handles scheduled build and installation work by appointment.
Is the pricing on this page final?
Stages marked Fixed Scope are fixed. Everything else is indicative and quote-confirmed after intake, when final scope, machine work and parts availability are settled.
