All Ford Racing crate engines start as an idea. The Ford Racing engineers begin with a horsepower target and the engine family for hitting that target. Then, Ford Racing documents the components that will likely achieve targeted horsepower and meet durability requirements. This procedure is based on Ford Racing's  years of experience in the high-performance crate engine building business. Many formulas also support this process. Next, Ford Racing has one or more development crate engines built and sent to the engine dynamometer lab for break-in and testing. During dyno-testing, fuel distribution, best cam timing and best ignition timing for maximizing horsepower and torque are assessed. If target performance numbers are not met—or can be improved—changes are made accordingly. Often times, different carburetors, camshafts, intake manifolds and cylinder heads are evaluated. After target numbers are reached, the Ford crate engine is run for durability. Durability testing is based on the market application of the Ford crate engine. Various durability tests may be run—sometimes as severe as 50 hours at wide open throttle, full power. Others may be cycling tests where the Ford crate engine accelerates from peak torque to peak power, then decelerates back to peak torque, then repeats the cycle for many hours. The tests selected vary depending on the market application. Upon successful completion of durability testing, the Ford crate engine package is released for production.
