You mean the things that let it operate for 300,000+miles without a rebuild? What would we replace it with? Magic voodoo apex rotor seals? :huh:
Found my next build :idea:Rotary Power:

No he means those cool things that decrease the number of moving parts and allow Honda engines to cruise passed 200,000+ miles without breaking a sweat, producing power more efficiently and allowing you to rev the nuts off the engine. :lipsrsealed:
Let's hope Ford put more engineering into the Coyote than Getrag did into the tranny behind it.
Don't know for sure. The NHTSA has a case open on it now to investigate the issue. I've read there were problems with it previously in Land Rovers. Looks like Ford just made a poor choice when it came to the tranny.

The ford modular v8 is a highly developed engine with phenomenal potential. The Koenigsegg CCR set the speed record using it, surpassing the McLaren F1. The Ford GT uses a 5.4L variant that can be twin-turbo'd to the tune of 1200hp with no change to the bottom end.
It sounds phenomenal, much sexier than the LS.
While the LS is a great engine, it relies a lot on cubic inches. I'm not knocking it, it is reliable and has been very successful.
The coyote is 430lb, definitely not a boat anchor. The original 4.6L aluminum block (96-99 mustang cobra) was made by Teksid. They make blocks for Ferrari. The bottom end is good for more than 1000hp with better pistons and rods. That's with 4.6L! The coyote has even better potential with variable valve timing and better breathing heads.
Reliability? Wouldn't be critical of that. These engines have proven extremely reliable in road racing and drag racing. They've been around the block and are pretty well tested.
Basically, you can get equivalent power with fewer cubic inches

The good thing is that you are a true believer. Prove us all wrong, build a kick a$$ machine, and I'm sure that most will cheer you on.
Tornado have got the coyote engine on their performance parts list for the TSC40. Dont know if they have fitted one yet but it definitely looks the way to go. Hopefully they will have it fully developed by the time I need an engine

x2... I am a hardcore LS guy, but time and progress march on. If something is better or interesting in it's own way, it definitely captures my attention.
Coyote: I am interested and watching very closely.
Rotary: It hurts my eyes to watch..must...turn...away. :thumbsdown::thumbsdown:
All busting aside, I hope you make us eat our words and your rotary is everything you plan it to be. Seriously. :thumbsup:
How much more vertical clearance would be required to allow a S/C? If it's not that much, one would consider a custom, "bubbled" rear glass. If a S/C Coyote was the route he wanted to go.
Unless Iam mistaken it will require a redesign of the head (that may already exist)
Supposedly it was designed with turbocharging and direct injection in mind for the future.

Also, it's speculated that the extra recess on the head is for direct injection.

For those asking about the relationship between the new 5.0 Coyote and the old 4.6/5.4 mod motor, the only thing they have in common is the crank bearings and journal sizes. The coyote is also using aluminum bearings, which i don't like, but i guess they work well enough.
I think some of the main improvements between the old mod motor and the new 5.0 is that the block is a lot stronger and a better design. They wont need an iron block when a supercharged cobra comes out. The new engine is supposed to be smaller and lighter than the old mod motor as well. I don't think the heads are as wide...
