The EV performance scene is really heating up and things are going to get very interesting. Why? Because major manufacturers are now offering EV crate motors which no doubt will facilitate swaps only limited by your imagination.


The Ford Eluminator crate motor is the answer to Chevrolet's own crate EV motor which has yet to hit the market despite debuting last year.

The Eluminator is based on the Mustang Mach E motor:

Now, 281 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque do not sound too exciting but a pair of these with 562 horsepower and 634 lb-ft of torque sounds like fun.


The Eluminator electric crate motor is expected to be the first of its kind to be engineered, developed and offered by an original equipment manufacturer - it is similar to the e-motors applied on the 2021 Mustang Mach-E GT, and will be available from Ford Performance Parts (M-9000-MACHE).

Weighing in at a svelte 205 pounds, this electric dynamo delivers 281 horsepower, 317lb.-ft. of torque, and generates a maximum speed of 13,800rpm. The Eluminator crate engine package includes a high-voltage motor-to-traction invertor harness, low-voltage harness connector, and vent tube assembly.
