Could very well be the best engine Ford has ever made

2015 GT Auto with 143k miles. VMP Gen2r supercharger 700whp. Love my gen 2 and I love my vmp blower.

Gen3r and vmp return style fuel system on E85. I'm loving every bit of it. I'm Lund tuned though 😅

Boss 302 had better casting cylinder heads. The material was more robust and contained copper for strength. Boss heads were fully cnc'd, bigger valves, stiffer valve springs capable of 7500rpm plus, bigger cams, forged Mahle pistons, forged rods, sodium filled exhaust valves. Not sure i missed anything.

Boss 302 is actually the best Coyote ever made.

What exactly is the meaning of “modular” engine? Nobody at my local Ford dealer could even answer my question…. The first time I ever heard of modular engine was in my 2004 Ford chassis class C motor home with the Triton V10. Now I’m lucky enough to have just purchased my 2011 Shelby GT 500!

Is it true the 3rd gens are having Problems with the cylinder walls cracking????

[jzh]

The question is what would the predator engine be with the addition of direct injection system?

[CarlosMartinez-orsg]

Do the coyote engines sound any different from one another generation to generation?

[austinrhodes]

I'm having some issues finding the answer to this question. When did a base GT cars with the 5.0 switch to a flat plane crankshaft? Everyone always talks about the GT350 motor getting it but not normal GT cars with the 5.0

Alot of guys use truck motors to swap in a Mustang. Would have been good to include that too dog.

[gregoryjowers]

You missed the 07-12 5.4 gt500 motor and 13-14 5.8 gt500 motor

[WastdTrashPanda]

While they may be different, one thing they have in common is that they do the same thing as a pushrod engine, just unnecessarily more complex and expensive.

The difference is that they all sound like shit.

Even if you put the traditional mustang exhaust.
That everybody has always put on a mustang.

And H pipe. You could get close but you cannot replicate that original fox body sound. I wish ford would make the mustang sound like it did in the 80s
