Every trick in the book. DOHC, DI, VVT, super high rev, high compression and multi valves. It is quite the piece! I’m a Hemi guy but you have to give credit where it’s due.

My old gearhead dad always told me the secret to any V8 is in the heads. Getting them to breathe is what helps them turn out high power and RPM. If you've ever noticed a coyote torn down it's actually a very small block with very huge cylinder heads..

I come from the Supra world (5MGE, 7MGTE, 1JZGTE, 2JZGTE) and i love learning about other engines. This video was fantastic, no biased opinion just facts and great explanation. Look forward to future videos you break down like this.

Well, I have a bone stock 2012 coyote; it just rolled 306k and apart from plugs, nothing has ever come out/off of the motor. Only uses .5 quarts of conventional oil between 5K changes. No complaints here. Id get another one once it dies.

The second 2011 hit, and I saw Ford was releasing a 5.0 again, named a dang 'coyote' I wanted one immediately. I grew up, got a job and got a 16 GT last year, I'm super in love with the car. Bringing it out to 7200 and shifting just feels different and gives a new appreciation for cars to me. This is a seriously legendary engine, and in my opinion will go down in history of top 10 engines of all time; in America at least

@337Speed Australian guy here... I just wanted to say a huge thank you. I've learnt more about the various US built engines here on your channel than I have in years watching hundreds of other videos YouTube.. Seriously... you know your sh*t and I love your videos. Much respect.

I am a mechanic and have lots of ls and coyote engines laying around. Couple things not mentioned are cam swaps are easy on a coyote. No measuring push rod length and no need to degree the cam. Then the biggest thing I love about working on a modular engine is no accessory brackets.

I enjoyed this lesson. I am a Nissan/Mitsubishi driver, but I was always curious about the Mustangs. The Coyote is a formidable beast. If I can find one overseas where I work, I may buy one.

[ReallyStrongGuy]

Coyotes definitely LOVE boost! I outrun a lot of things with a conservative setting on my blower.

[SCmaro]

You're correct that it's it's "easy mode" with a coyote that you don't have to go into the motor...until you do. If you're just slapping boost on one 500-700ish hp is pretty easy. But if you want to build a coyote for more it is a more sophisticated engine than the LS. The coyote in my drag car has vvt deletes and locked cams and let me tell you, I've gotten really good at degreeing cams when I decided to build a coyote. I also learned a lot more about things like cam timing and overlap messing around with these things then I ever did with sbc.
In fact, I so fell in love with the coyote I swapped on into my old camaro 😁.

There are certain aspects that make the 5.0 better. But I still think the LS3 was the best v8 of the past 20 years. They were simple, reliable, sounded great, and can handle enough power. The newer LT series I do not like. They added all the new stuff like DI, AFM, and VVT. I would buy a 5.0L over a LT1 and do currently own a gen 3 5.0L.

[CJColvin]

The 5.0L Coyote V8 is definitely a beast. I have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 147, 000 miles on it still going strong and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK exhaust on it.

[justpassingthrough]

I have a 540hp 5.3 LH6 Trailblazer SWB.

It's pretty fast and sounds unbelievable with its stg 3 cam, custom heads, and upgraded valvetrain and forged internals.

3k stall, American Racing longtube headers running to X-pipe and Spintech mufflers make it sound phenomenal.

One thing I learned is there is always something bigger and badder so enjoy other people's rides and enjoy yours.

We live in the greatest muscle car era ever. Its gonna be gone soon so enjoy it.

Just discovered this channel! Love your engine comparisons! Very well informed, and yet entertaining and not dry at all!! Love it!! More videos like these would be awesome for newcomers to the community! Or long time nerds like me who just love seeing every possible POV about the topic!

[jeromeocronje]

I love these types of videos. its fun to learn what makes the engines so great

[colinw]

Great videos on explaining the the pros and cons of tuning modern American Muscle platforms. Keep up the great work.

[mightywasp]

in total. i will love every american v8 engine. its amazing how each brand makes there own version of a v8 engine

Ford Australia and FPV used a blown 5L in the FG and FG-X cars, and they sound delightful! They make big power with just a tune. 335kW and 570Nm in standard form, but most of us believe these numbers are understated, and are closer to 400kW, as they dyno over 300rwkW in stock form (the GT-F at least!)

You hurt my Gen 2’s feelings with that MPG comment, 19.3 average MPG. Also Shoutout to my boy Frank for that racing footage.

[whitr]

Such an amazing platform..I have an 18 tune, e85, gt350 half shafts, longtubes, and 10r80..ran a 10.78..
