Photo Blog: Coyote Engine Swap (5.0 liter DOHC Ford V8, naturally aspirated, 412+ BHP).

Can't wait to hear it on the dyno. It's going to be awesome!!

Evan,
Where is our update!! We are all excitedly waiting.

The new Holley System has some glitches that they are working through. Would be fine with a stock mustang but there are a few interface issues with the Borla intake. There's a good chance all will be wrapped up this next week.

Evan, "glitches"? Interface issues? It sounds to me like you need help from someone who has specific expertise with I.R. intakes. Even better, someone who also knows Holley EFI systems. If your problem doesn't get resolved quickly and to your satisfaction, call Holley directly and ask to be referred to one of their dealers who specializes in Ford V-8's and I.R. intakes. I'd be nervous that Borla referred you to MMR because they buy lots of Borla stuff; not because MMR knows Holley EFI and I.R. intake systems better than anyone else.

The engine is just down the street from Holley and Borla.
The people working through the issues are reps from Holley and Borla. This system is the newest fuel management system from holley. It will be debuted this year at SEMA
I have serial #0000001
I hate being the guinea pig.

Seeing as you are the guinnea pig I certainly hope that you are getting a very much reduced rate on parts and dyno tuning.

My new 2015 ford Falcon FGX 4 door has the 5.0 engine , with Supercharger. I love it ! Only sold here thou!

Evan,

Update???

Kind of in a holding pattern. Holley and Borla have finished with it (ECU/Induction/Motor) and now waiting for Dyno time. and....here comes winter.

One update is that I got my ZF back from RBT. great job Lloyd. looks good as new.

I like the breather. How is that attached?

Super looking motor and tranny. Can't wait to see it in the car!

Just a simple breather from local auto parts store. (O'reilly)

Hi.

P.M. Send.

Budget? we don't need no stinking budgets! I find your project fascinating, I have only one question, why the aluminum facade?

The Aluminum Facia.

Hmmmm Good question.
The engine compartment is stock, sound deadening splattered everywhere, ugly spot welds etc. etc.....
Decided to try something other than scraping it all clean and painting.
Trying for the Engine compartment to have a
fabricated race car look.

Engine and traney preped.
waiting on a custom clutch package from Centerforce.

This engine setup looks pretty sweet. Are you considering installing a custom air box or will you just insert screens on the throttle bodies and leave them exposed?

Screens and exposed to start. Then want to do a box with cold air scoops from the side windows.

Looking good Evan.

Did you get the P.M. i send you?

Kjeld.

OK FINALLY SOME MOVEMENT ON THIS AGAIN.

TALKED WITH PANTERAS BY WILLKINSON AND HE DIRECTED ME TO CENTERFORCE FOR A CLUTCH/PRESSURE PLATE AND FLYWHEEL COMBINATION.
HE ALSO VERIFIED THAT IF YOU MOVE THE TRANS FROM THE STOCK POSITION (1.5in REARWARD) THAT CHANGING TO 911
CV SHAFTS IS A GOOD IDEA SO I HAVE A SET ON ORDER FROM SCOTT AT SACC RESTORATIONS.

THE CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE AND FLYWHEEL ARE COMING FROM SUMITT.
CENTERFORCE PT#
Flywheel part# 700205
Pressure plate, disc part# DF800075

THESE STATE THAT THEY ARE FOR A 4.6 BUT WILL ALSO BOLT UP TO THE 5.0 COYOTE.

Pilot bearing between ZF shaft and 5.0 Coyote flywheel.

CV Shafts from Scott at SACC
Sexy!

Prep for custom engine hanging bracket.
The existing hole size is about the right size for tapping 1/2-13 so I just ran a tap through the holes.
A bit tight so be careful. The powder coating also makes it a bit difficult. lots of tapping oil.

Spacer plate.

Any news ? I bought a holley dominator efi right now . Its a brand new 2017 version.
Will it works fine with the engine ? Thanks

Hi Peter,
sounds like an interesting project. Post some details and some pictures. I`m sure we can all learn something from you.

For people doing Coyote engine swaps; I see Holley now offers variable cam timing controllers:

"Holley EFI Coyote Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing Control unlocks the full power potential of high-revving 2011-14 Ford Coyote engines. Ideal for both crate engines and/or used Coyotes with locked cams, they're compatible with both Holley HP and Dominator EFI. They feature integrated stock cam position tables that eliminate tuning guesswork and deliver optimal driveability and maximum power right out of the box. At 3,700 RPM, they unleash more than 90 additional foot-pounds of torque. The main harnesses are terminated with ford TPS and IAC connectors that make it easy to convert from a drive-by-wire throttle body to a manual throttle body, and four built-in diagnostic LEDs make troubleshooting a snap if there's a cam- or crank-sensor failure.

Holley EFI Plug and Play Coyote Ti-VCT Control Module main harnesses include a power tap connector and grounds for adding additional sensors or actuators and CAN bus communication for the Holley EFI ECU for high speed data transfer and diagnostics. Also available are a plug-and-play main harness for 2011-14 Coyote engines with stock cam shafts and stock coils (part number 558-110) and a plug-and-play main harness for stock cams and Holley EFI coils (part number 558-122). If an external map sensor is required, use the available 2-bar MAP sensor (part number 538-13) ."

I was really hoping they would add that functionality directly to the dominator ecus without the need for an external controller as the Dominator is already a fairly expensive unit. It really puts it out of contention for price point when there are other units that do it for considerably less.
