Billet Timing Crank Drive Gear Ford GT 500

The Billet Timing Crank Drive Gear for Ford GT500 is engineered for high-performance engines where factory cast iron components fall short under extreme load and RPM conditions. Built by Boundary Racing Pump, this precision gear replaces the OEM timing drive system and is designed for serious enthusiasts and professional tuners running aggressive cam profiles, boosted applications, or extended track sessions. The GT500 platform demands reliable valve timing control, making a billet upgrade essential for engine longevity and consistent performance in high-horsepower builds.

This timing crank drive gear is manufactured from forged billet steel, offering superior strength and durability compared to cast OEM counterparts that can wear, crack, or slip under high-RPM stress. The precision machining ensures exact tooth engagement with the camshaft drive system, maintaining critical valve timing accuracy across the entire rev range. At just 0.65 lbs and compact at 3.1 x 2.1 x 3.1 inches, the gear integrates seamlessly into the Ford GT500 engine bay without clearance issues. The billet construction also provides better material consistency and fatigue resistance, critical factors when running turbo or supercharged applications where inertial loads exceed factory specifications.

This upgrade is ideal for Ford GT500 owners pursuing engine builds above 700 horsepower, forced-induction conversions, or radical cam swaps where factory timing components cannot be trusted. Installation requires removal of the timing cover and front accessory drive, typically a 4–6 hour job for experienced mechanics familiar with Ford modular engine architecture. The Billet Timing Crank Drive Gear is compatible exclusively with 2007–2014 Ford Shelby GT500 models and serves as a critical reliability upgrade for any serious performance program pushing beyond OEM design limits.
