Thought I would start a thread on this since they are showing up more and more on BaT. This one appears to be really well done. They left the interior alone.

WOW, just, wow. I feel so bad for that car, it was probably a nice 390 car to start with. The suspension is a mess, whats with that stance if you're NOT going to add four wheel drive ? The hood doesn't close ? The trunk lid is crooked ? I would have to think the builder is embarrassed. If they aren't, they should be. when I looked, the bids were 49K something. Icertainly wouldn't pay you anything CLOSE to that for such a poor job. And whats the fascination with Coyote power ? A Cleveland, and FE, and a Lima can ALL make as much power or more, and they all fit an early Stang a heckuva lot easier ! Expalin Coyote fever, please. LSG

I’ll try to explain my rationale. 460hp, 20+ mpg, 7500 rpm, great reliability to 700hp and the same cost as a new 363 from ford stokers. I’m my case I’d want a t56 either way and my shock towers are already gone.

The engines worth more than the car. That's just silly.

Maybe that's why I like it. Suppose the same could be said about my car.

This one has stacks! Never heard of the car before but its weird, so I like it.

Okay, with the confession that I am not shopping, what is fascination with installing sailing equipment into the early Mustangs ? I don't get it. First, one has to remove the problem, THEN you have to repair all of the damage done to cause the problem in the first place. Whats up with the 'BAT' people. Whats the Coyote fascination ? Educate me. LSG

Look back to post 12. Every time you comment on coyote swapped cars I picture an 80 year old man shaking his fist on his front lawn. Yet, you keep coming back....

 

[Anangryford]

Angry, okay, so went back and read #12. I will refer YOU to #14. ANYTHING that a Coyote can do, the early engines can do, for a whole lot less, and without damaging surgery needed to make it all fit. If you WANT 20+ mpg and 500 hp, you can have it. And for alot less money than a Coyote swap. You are falling for the hype and mistique. 'Its all smoke and mirrors', says the angry old man, as he shakes his fist ! Interesting that ford chose that name, Coyote. Where I live, a coyote is considered a pest, and you can shoot them anytime.

HvsTool, you are mistaken, this IS a fun thread ! Its all a matter of perspective. LSG

LOL.

The cost difference was negligible in my case. A ford strokers long block costs more than the coyote, and after you add the injection goodies its more than the coyote+control pack. I wanted a T56 no matter what so tunnel surgery would have been needed. AC cost me $2k more than it would have with the sbf and was a lot more work to sort out. My towers were already gone from the PO so no extra cost there. Mostly it was just more work. Work that I mostly enjoy. I had to make a firewall and move the MC. Other than that, much of the same.

Have you driven a coyote power car? They are fun engines.

 

[Anangryford]

Angry, I LOVE the old man picture ! Well, I've driven Coyote powered trucks. I yawned. Also driven 545 stroker powered trucks. And 462" stroker FE, and Clevelands. I just don''t see ANY andvantage offered by a Coyote. I also don't like the fact that you have towind the piss out of them to get the power. Now, that said, alot of the customer 'builds' were a disappointment to me, personally. We always had several guys a week asking for 1. 'the biggest cam they make' or 2. a very lumpy / thumpy / choppy idle. We built what they asked for. When a customer asks us for what will work best for them, the results are quite different.

If your car's front was already altered, okay, whats there ? Have you added any bracing or reinforcement to address the issues that style suspension is known to cause ?

MSM, I like that you chose the windsor, but would love to know why you chose the front end that you did. Who is Rich ? I would have questioned your choice also, and tried very hard to talk you out of it. LSG

PS My hair is not as grey as the man pictured, but I am substantially heavier, and have a full beard. Would that add to the angry old man aura ?

I did a few things to add rigidity to the front end. SF connectors, torque boxes, 1.5" DOM from the firewall to the frame rail. Pics are in my build page. Link is in my signature.

@LSG has left the chat. Now we’re talking about diesels. A coyote is more reliable than a 480hp sbf in every instance. I like sbf’s too. Did that in my 67 and started with one in my 66. Wanted something different. Coyote is harder to work on when it breaks. Probably less repairable too. Still not sure why you care so much. Seems like you should start a new thread. Call it the “still shaking my fist thread”😳
