Product Description

The Ford Racing M-8501-M50A water pump kit is designed for 2011-2021 Mustang GT and F-150 5.0L Coyote engines, as well as 2015-2020 Shelby GT350 models equipped with the naturally aspirated 5.2L V8. This OE-replacement water pump is used in Ford Racing's Aluminator XS crate engine builds and features a short-body design that increases front accessory clearance - especially important for intake manifold swaps or engine swaps into tight bays.

The kit includes the aluminum water pump housing, 3-bolt pulley, and mounting hardware for a plug-and-play fit. Designed to deliver stock flow rates and long-term reliability, it's a proven upgrade for both performance rebuilds and factory replacements. Installation requires no custom fabrication and supports factory belt routing for Mustang and F-150 platforms.

This pump is not compatible with the 5.2L supercharged GT500 engine or Gen 4 Coyote variants. Ideal for high-performance builds needing OEM-grade cooling in a drop-in format.
