60100perc

60100perc refers to a specific type of high-performance engine block casting number used in certain automotive applications, particularly in the context of Ford’s 302 cubic inch (5.0-liter) V8 engine family. This designation is part of a broader series of casting numbers assigned by Ford to identify variations in engine components, including blocks, heads, and other critical parts.

The 60100perc block is notable for its use in the Ford 5.0L Coyote engine, which was introduced in 2003 as an evolution of the earlier 4.6L Modular V8. This engine block features a forged steel crankshaft, aluminum cylinder heads, and a cast aluminum block with improved durability and performance compared to earlier designs. The "perc" suffix in the casting number indicates a specific variant, often associated with later revisions or updates to the original design, such as refinements in cooling passages, oil squirters, or structural reinforcements.

The 60100perc block is commonly found in vehicles like the Ford Mustang GT, Ford F-150 with the EcoBoost or SVT Lightning trims, and other performance-oriented applications. It is also popular among tuners and enthusiasts due to its compatibility with high-performance modifications, such as forced induction (turbocharging or supercharging) and increased displacement through stroker crankshaft installations.

Like other engine components, the 60100perc block has undergone various iterations, with some revisions addressing common failure points such as oil control issues or head gasket leaks. Proper maintenance, including regular oil changes and adherence to manufacturer guidelines, is essential for ensuring longevity and performance. The casting number helps mechanics and enthusiasts identify the correct parts and modifications for a given engine application.
