Adding onto this though, I'm not a fan of the s95 body style which is why going the Cobra route is plan B. I've yet to see an S95 that didn't look squirrly on the drag strip and there are some really fast ones at my track. It's the same reason I'd never go the fox body route. They just seem to have real issues getting traction. The S197 while not great, seems to be able to hook much better with good suspension upgrades. And I'm not really interested in having a major fabrication to get a Cobra engine to fit an S197. I really want to start with a car that I can be confident is not going to be a nightmare to tune suspension wise. So while it may cost more to go the aluminator direction. I think in the longer term it will be less headaches to drop in, and I won't go slip sliding down the track run after run after run.

 

Stop using the Aluminator term. It's not the 5.0 Coyote. The Aluminator was based off the old mod motors and is more closely related to the 4.6 4v than the Coyote.

 

No freaking kidding it's not the Coyote. Where did I ever call it the Coyote?

 

So you're planning on building an Aluminator up for 700whp? Why? You can easily hit that mark with the Coyote?

 

That's my ideal longer term plan. I have about 5 different plans going around in my head right now lol.

And you're right, one plan is to start with an 11 GT and just mod the Coyote, track the car, and see how long it will go. And then if it does blow (which I imagine it eventually would), replace it with the Aluminator. But yes, I'd actually prefer if the Coyote lasted at that power. I think that would be the easiest route. Would cost the most up front due to the car being newer compared to older s197 models, or s95 models. But would probably be the easiest to drop in a replacement engine with very little work needed with a great power ceiling if and when the engine blew. Compared to going with older models, I just think there'd be more fabrication than I'd want to deal with since I'd probably not being doing most of this work myself.

 

Change the stock driveshaft to a aftermarket driveshaft from American Muscle and your v6 is safely capable to go 140 plus. Get a tuner to remove the rev limiter and your golden.

 

I thought this was the "'10-14 V6 Modifications" section....

 

When you were talking about your ***** envy a couple posts back.

Instead of making your 700hp v6, you should really consider modding it into an airplane, or even a monster truck. Your as far away from those as you are 700hp.
