Product Description

The Ford Racing M-6306-M50A Forged Steel Crankshaft Sprocket is a performance-grade timing component engineered for 5.0L and 5.2L Coyote engines - including those found in Mustang GT, GT350, and F-150 5.0L trucks. It replaces the stock powdered-metal sprocket with a hardened, forged-steel unit that delivers approximately five times the strength. This upgrade is especially valuable for engines subjected to high RPM, increased horsepower, or additional stress from belt-driven accessories or forced induction, reducing the risk of sprocket failure and subsequent costly engine damage.

Because it is built to OEM tolerances and designed for direct fitment, installation does not require machining or custom adjustment when used with compatible engines and OEM timing components. For owners doing engine builds, swaps, or performance upgrades, installing M-6306-M50A adds a robust layer of bottom-end resilience - making it a smart foundational upgrade to ensure reliability under elevated loads or aggressive use.
