Coyote Swap into 05-09 GT

For what it is worth here is a 3V - Coyote Swap using the PBH harness:




Also, this was my dyno sheet on my Coyote when I built it out to show the curves as best as I could with the VCT deletes if it helps out any. HP on the left, Torque on the right:

Look like pretty good numbers to me, I'd love to see some others dyno sheets to compare.
@docs302 ...you got your dyno sheet? Anybody else care to share?

That is the prototype plug and play harness, not the generic version I got. They wont be selling that for another few months. :-(

We shall see when she fires up in a few weeks.....but
I've been led to believe...from a few different sources that N/A coyotes that make over 500 rwhp have extremely narrow power bands and also do not live long....this is my first coyote motor so I have no experience here.

This is RWHP? or Engine hp?

@Mad Hatter you wanna post up your dyno for comparison? We're trying to learn something here.
 
Agreed......pretty tough goal with the planned mods. With L&M cams, Kooks LTH, CAI, CJ manifold, twin TB, Meziere electric water pump, no A/C and 100 octane tune I made 475 rwhp. Porting would have gotten me a bit more but likely not to 500.
Your running a stock gen 1 head. My Gen 2 out the box flows way more and has a better velocity/efficient port design, in addition it also has bigger valves. Add my porting with the Valve job and there is 30-40 HP alone. I also will have close to 12:1 compression from head milling and thin head gasket. Short block assembly using high end hand fitted rings, and coated bearings that are clearance perfect allow for additional 10-20. I also have a light weight clutch and flywheel. It is all in the details that add up. The GT350 windage tray scraping the crank and the crank machine work as well keep the oil off the crank and allow for a few as well. I'm also going to send off the 18 intake for porting generally good for 10-12. Lots and lots of little things add up tremendously.

I'm looking forward to what you get. At some point I will likely need to refresh some parts so maybe I will go that Gen 2 head route if I can get away with just the top end.
 
If you were lucky enough to find a Roadrunner motor......Would that be any harder to install than a Coyote??...probably not, but the fine tune stuff might....Just curious.................
exact same engine except internally, however the Gen 2 15-18 is far superior. It took everything they used from the Boss program and used it. The heads are cast and upgraded from the boss porting. The gen 2 intake valve is larger than the boss and with porting they flow better than the GT350.

My 2008 FR500S is running an M-6007-A50NAA Gen 2 Coyote Aluminator 5.0 with the M-6017-504V Ford Motorsport control pack and the engine ignition harness out of a M-12000-M50 kit. No issues with the ABS. However, Ford didn't make a provision for speedo or gearing because there's no harness link for the manual transmission. I've attached my list of parts, in case you want to compare.Coyote Swap Complete.JPG
