The 5.0L used in F150's has 16 valves, not 32...and while I cannot recall exactly (I should look in the owners manual), it's a SOHC, not a DOHC.

The are variations of this engine. AFAIK, only the Boss Mustang gets the DOHC 32 valve version. I would assume the GT Mustang also uses the SOHC version.

 

Being a Mustang guy I've seen a fair bit about the Coyote. Great motors, plenty of potential for crazy power. I liked the one in the Mustang RTR-X...

Would be AWESOME to see one of them in an old Ford truck...

 

Thank you to everyone that replied. Outstanding Graphic from SFAllison!!

I will continue to do research around this engine. I have a 56 f1oo I'm putting together and just got the front and rear corvette suspensions along with the bracketry needed to fit the truck. I'm using the T-bird/Cougar rack & pinion to give me the most clearance I can get without major mods. If anyone has already undergone this process please share how you resolved all the issues that came with it.

Thanks again,

 

Just an update as I heard back from a salvage yard today that actually has a 2011 GT Drivetrain for sale. A complete engine and Manual transmission with all accessories, wiring, ecu, manifolds etc is quoted as $12,300. To compare I have priced out a new Crate motor, Auto Trans, ECU, and everything you would need to run AC and Powersteering would run you about $13,700. A little could be saved on a junk yard tranmission.

I am still looking to buy a complete salvage vehicle, but wanted to share what the market demand is for these motors and a comparable cost to just buy all new. So if you are considering going this route be prepared for a high price. A comprable 2009-2010 3 valve motor and tranmission can be had for $3500-$5000.

 

Nope, all the Mustang Coyotes are 32V( GT and Boss ) . I didn't even know they made a SOHC version???? Are you sure they have a SOHC version of the coyote?. I have no clue on the truck engines. I thought all the new gas engines were DOHC.

 

Glad I searched around before starting a new subject. I too am looking at the Coyote. Being new at this whole putting together trucks deal, I am in need of some advice on what transmission to go with. Looking for an automatic.

This is what I'm working with: 1951 F1

What I'd like do to is put an MII on the front and throw in the Coyote.

Need ideas for:

Rearend?
Transmission? (automatic)

Suggestions and help would be appreciated!!

 

Too much money for me. What about a nice crate 302 or 351? You can get 3 of them with over 350HP for the same price as a coyote drivetrain.

Or you can get a complete Viper drivetrain for as low as $5000.

 

F1Jayhawk,
Hyland Motorsports can price you a complete Coyote and Transmission package with everything you will need. If you go that route witht he Crate motor and a Automatic transmission, you are looking at $13k. I am going to buy a salvage GT for a little less, take what I need and sell the rest, so my cost should be a lot less than the $13k. I have quotes from salvage yards for a Salvage motor and Transmission with all the accessories for between $9k and $12k.

I just finished installing a No Limit MII front suspension and their 4 Bar rear suspension, Shock Waves, Aircompressor kit, 2000 8.8 Ford Explorer Rear Axle and upgraded Wilwood Brakes up front for about $7k.

Hope that answers your questions. My reasons for going with the Coyote are the 650HP on pump gas with a supercharger and the 20mpg.

 

60,
Thanks for the reply. 13k? Is that just the Coyote and trans? Or everything else included? I'm guessing my best bet is to call No Limit or Hyland?

 

HeyKelly,
If you go the Coyote route we'll have to get together - I'd love to see that one in an F1. I should have the 351W in there by the end of the month - It was nowhere near $13K but it's not new territory & it definitely won't get 20 MPG. Good luck over there!

F1, the $13k is basically everything you need, Motor, Trans with computer, powersteering, brackets, AC compressor, starter, Wiring harness for motor. I priced out all the componets to actually get it running and it was a little over $13k. If you go the 5/6 Speed route with a Manual it would be cheaper if you get one from a salvage vehicle, as the Auto Trans from Hyland is over $3k alone. I can send you my parts lists if you want.

Ben, I am pretty set on going this route, but the costs really shocked me, in comparison to what a t 2010 motor can be had for. Since we are still a month or two from being complete with frame and ready for the drive train, I am hoping to find a salvage vehicle at a texas auction and go that route.

 

60,
That would be fantastic. bluesman5010@yahoo.com

Thanks buddy!!

 

The 5.0 coyote is a great engine and is capable of a lot of power!

 

I have recently found a source for a 2012 Ti-VCT 5.0 engine and trans combo at a very competitive price. Since the name "Coyote" was introduced to identify the prototype development model for this engine, the name has stuck but I am not sure that it is being used for all the applications. Now there are versions for the Mustang GT, the Boss 302, and the F150s. From what I can gather the truck version has different cams that give it a little less HP (360 vs 412) and a little more bottom end torque. The gas mileage is also improved considerably. The Ti-VCT acronym stands for "Twin independent, Variable Camshaft Timing" just in case you hadn't heard the term before.

This brings me to the point of this post...has anybody followed through with their "dream" engine installation yet? If so, any feedback?

The combo that I have found is a complete drop-out from a 2012 F150 with 3800 miles on the clock. Still has all the accessories and a 6 spd auto trans bolted up. I really didn't have a project in mind for this engine/trans but for $2,500 I don't think I can pass it up. The harness and PCM are still connected as well as the battery cables, etc. I have a 50 Merc car that just may like having this setup under the hood...

 

I have this motor in my F-150 and love it. Pulls like crazy. Can't wait to follow this thread and see how an potential install goes. Might look good in my 49...
