Ford's new 5.0 modular V8

A popular Mustang magazine has recently been dyno testing the new 5.0 Coyote. The latest test involved a set of slightly longer duration Comp Cams, ported heads from JPC, new valve springs, long-tube headers, and some tweaks to the computer "tune". They tested the engine with unported heads, ported heads, stock intake, and Boss intake. The ported heads, cams, stock intake, long-tube headers and tune made 545 hp with 475 lb-ft of torque at around 5000 rpm (with over 300 at 3000 rpm). Just the camshaft and long-tube header upgrade made 515 hp. The Boss intake made 575 hp but was down on torque.

We just dropped one of these into our 67 Meteor Rideau 500. We are using a Vipec ECU and are waiting for them to write an algorithm to decode the cam sensor data. For the time being the cams are in their parked position. At park they have a -51 degree overlap. In this position the car made 335hp at the tires. Not bad considering how much gain we will get when we can phase them closer to their +50 degree maximum overlap.

Zombie thread, back from the dead.

Saw a pic of a Coyote motor in a Pantera posted by Pantera Performance in Colorado. Engine bay shot with the motor installed. I wish I they can post a shot of the firewall to see how much the need to cut, if any.




Nice fit from the back though. So, I just saw a supercharged Coyote crate motor from Edelbrock - 700HP & 606 TQ..... Woohoo!!!! Fit that.
Better budget in some money for blown clutches and zf gears but what they hey.

WOW Tempting.

There are a number of low mi. Motors and ECUs starting to show up in wrecking yards.

Wonder what the weight difference is between it and the cast iron 351C

Aluminator XS in for fitment. Bench dynoed at 550hp / 440ft-lbs, with specific help from Ford Racing. Detuned to 540hp, capped at 8000rpm. Ford states can be tuned to +600hp. or supercharged at +1000hp, no thanks

Kevin is that yours?

Kevin -

The back of your ZF fell off.........

Maybe too much power out of that motor!

Rocky

PS> Looks great.

Wish I could report that mine was farther along but....... Delay, Delay Delay.

yeah, that´s my car, 3764..had it for over 20 years, although I was overseas for most of the time. Was going to bring it to Australia, but left hand drive in the world of right hand is quite a hassle (eg try a toll road gate). Lived in Germany, and TUV (the German DOT) wanted to tax me up the whazoo to bring it over (car is not stock), so I have been slowly getting it to where I want it to be, here in the states. The ZF is a shell, only for fitment purposes. Strange engine, as the XS has to be custom tuned, no off the shelf tune available. Looked at stack injectors also, but you lose the variable cam timing when you go that route, and about 45hp, according to the Ford Racing guys.

A buddy of mine is a tuner and he really likes that motor. A custom tune on some of the Mustangs has great results! Great project. Please keep us posted

I feel your pain.

Aluminator in car and "tightened down". headers made, but not in this pic. Will be doing something different with the CAI, possibly using a GT500 CAI. Life continues to be bizarre.

Seems that I am going to living outside the US again for the next 4 to 5 years...maybe time to think about selling

That sucks. Sorry to hear you might have to see it go.
