That is pretty sweet, I was wondering what you did with the PS to make it driveable ... I guess some of that information will be in the article since i know A LOT of people especially S197 owners are very interested in doing this swap and who wouldnt be ... Awesome job and congrats to you dad

 

Yep. Factory optiobs are
5.0L v8 FFV
3.5L v6 EcoBoost
3.7L v6 FFV
6.2L v8

 

ive been wondering what a coyote would look like in a bullitt since i first saw them, thank you for providing an answer to my question lol

it looks siccckkk someday....

 

Somehow I missed some of these posts...

Thanks... yeah, I need to get a picture of the accessories. That may answer some of your questions.

And it's official, 5.0 Mustang Mag called my dad for the interview. Supposedly it will be in the November issue (released in September).


Thanks... and you're welcome!

 

Wish TR had more of a muscle scene, when I was there it was mostly imports. I stopped looking after I bought my truck, 'cause there's none of those there

 

I've bought some parts from there, but yeah, I typically think of it as an import-dominated site. For instance, the CRX I saw yesterday that literally had at least 15 degrees of negative camber!

 

With the gearing of a TR3650 I bet he can do almost 60mph in first gear with that engine.

 

Ha... that could be, but I haven't tried that yet. I'll try and pay attention to it next time I drive it.

 

I did an online calc to see.

7000rpm
1st gear 48mph
2nd 82mph
3rd 124mph
4th 164mph
5th 244mph

 

hot ****! I think I know exactly what I'm going to do when the 4.6 becomes too tired (not that its goign to be anytime soon lol)

I don't think I'll ever have to buy another car

 

Get your dad to bring this to the cruise in we're doing for the USF meet this Friday. Would love to see the 1st New Edge with a Coyote in person.

 

Thanks, good to know. I didn't feel like looking up the transmission ratios.


Yeah, this offers a very tempting replacement for any tired engine in a Ford you'd prefer to keep.


I don't think he'll be in the country this weekend, but we'll see.

 

Only 15? He's got so much more to gain!

The for sale section is a joke too, they want 2 grand minimum for like everything. You'll pay about a thousand for a Honda body with no engine or tranny and a beat out interior

 

Thread revival!!! I've come to a crossroads. The beast now has 70K miles on it, and I'm ready to do something with it. I was thinking FI, specifically the low boost Edlebrock, but with the mileage on the motor, I'm wondering about long term realiability.
SO, after exploring the costs, it looks like about the same cost to pull the existing 4.6, rebuild with forged internals and do the headwork, induction (N\A that is) or buy and install the new Aluminator 5.0, which has forged internals. From what I can tell and what I've read, the Coyote bolts right up the the 5 speed in my '05, and motor mounts are the same as the 4.6.
Blainestang, can you tell me if this was pretty much a straight bolt in for the New Edge? I saw that you commented the oil pan was modded, but what about the rest?

 

I love this swap! Never seen it before. I want to do it so bad! How does it drive??

 

Should be great since the 5.0 bests any previous N/A (caveat: Cobra R motor) mod motor in every metric and your talking about putting it in a lighter more aerodynamic car.

Although the downside being the more powerful motor will just magnify the SN95/New Edge faults - all related to its inferior suspension and chassis rigidity

 

Agreed. But it would be really fun lol

 

very sweet car, seems to be one of the best combinations ive come across

 

Can we get a guesstimate from your dad on price of the conversion? I emailed the company that you said did it but have heard nothing back..

 

Also another plus for the coyote 5.0 is the extra weight off the nose. This engine is lighter than any previous 2v or 4v motor that has gone into a Fox - SN95/New Edge with the 3v 4.6 being the lightest of the bunch (and unfortunately 100 hp down in stock trim).
