Coyote 5.0 in SL-C
- Thread starter gt40fran
- Start date
It looks great in there Fran. The Coyote seems to have a lot of potential. I have been watching the developments in the aftermarket.
Fran, I'm just curious....have y'all put any of the Coyote packages into one of your RCR40's yet?
I'm wondering if it fit, which transaxle was used, what other issues you had to resolve, that sort of thing. I know the "look" won't be period correct, but that new Ford motor sure has potential, and I hear an IR stack-based EFI system is under development, so the look may get "closer" (but, of course, the heads will preclude getting "close enough")!
How closely is the Coyote related to the 4.6/5.4 "mod motors"? I know those respond quite well to the superchargers, so if the Coyote is similar, that might well be the way to go for those who don't really need "the look".
[edit--I see Ron was a minute quicker with his Q....great minds think alike, no?]
Cheers, Doug!

Its quite big lump compared to the SBFand the LS engines.
We aahve mocked one up in an RCR40 with a ZF box ..only issues is header clearance around the suspension...no room for the S/C though.

2011 Mustang and F150s.
Boost is cheating
Cheating against what? An empty spot in the chassis where a 90000+ hp NA motor is supposed to go although it hasn't shown up yet?
Just kidding Alex

As you can see the intake manifold is in its OEM configuration due to the S/C but we have flipped an intake and have installed one in the reverse location for a NA application in a mid engined car...

Eventually you shall all rue the day you mocked the 5000000000000000cid engine
.....maybe
..........check back in 2020?
Fran,
Do you have any pictures for us of the RCR40 with the motor, transaxle, and exhaust mocked up?

Turbo boost is free power. That is just maximizing your output without wasting the exiting energy.Boost is cheating

Interesting use of the word "free".:laugh:

Perhaps he meant "free" in the sense of "under no control or restraint.":idea:
Speaking of stacks and the Coyote engine, I'd like to see how this fits in an SLC:
The Ford with stacks is a really good looking engine for sure. The Mustang they are in was my favorite Ford at SEMA that year. But I wonder why the heads have to be so big? The DFV four cam heads were nowhere near that size. As I think about it the heads on my NSX (4 cam) engine were pretty big too.
