thanks allot. im very proud of them.

Great move to the aluminator. Great power numbers also. :nice:

i like that color on them rims!!

How much did the replacement motor run you?

And did you get anything out of the coyote 5.0 for core or sale?

Ive got a buyer lined up but i haven't got the money yet. FRPP doesn't do cores. he wants to rebuild it for a 70 boss302 clone.

How are the electronics handled, PCM etc., is it a direct swap or?
I have been told that the PCM is matched to the engine and the data is transferred over either from the engine to the PCM or vice versa?
Just curious.

Its is simple swap. the cars ecu runs it. You only have to buy the ecu and wiring harness for retro fit swaps. they are plug and play for all 11 and up gts.

Glad it's back and running...sucks all the trouble you had to go through

This engine is looking better and better every time I see someone use it.

i got the motor for just a little under 8.

So same price as a replacement stock 5.0 basically. Cant beat that with a stick.

How did you blow #8?

just search #8 failures. its very common with 11-12s. the new slug in the 13s doesn't seem to have any issues however. Ford was blaming them on the tuners but its been way to wide spread and the pistons are not showing the signs of detonation outside of the rind land looking like its been broke off with a sledge hammer.

Well my buyer backed out at the last second. so


FOR SALE. 5.0 coyote engine 18,xxx miles. broke ringland on #8 piston. comes with everthing except alternator. message me for details.
