Plasma Transfer Wire Arc being applied to a 5.2L Ford engine block in the Essex Engine Plant.
Ford’s Shelby GT350 and GT350R use this lightweight 5.2L V8 to produce 526 horsepower without the aid of forced induction. This engine utilizes 12.0:1 compression and spins to 8,250 rpm.
Blocks are robotically maneuvered during the machining process at the Essex Engine Plant.
The Plasma Transfer Wire Arc process takes place under heavy-duty shielding.
Here’s a bare aluminum block, prior to the PTWA process.
Completed Voodoo 5.2L engine block and close-up of the cross-hatching on the cylinder walls.
Shelby owners will love the sound and durability of the Voodoo engine.
