  1. Nah, they did run the 5.8 mod parallel with the Coyote, at Ford.
    The 5.8 Coyotes aren't Ford, I'm pretty sure.
    The Mod and Coyote share a lot of dimensions but that's about it.
    .

    I still dont understand why the Australian Coyotes only use one cam phaser (on each head). I get it that with a pump on it, it doesn't need two, but it could use two as much as an N/A engine.


  2. Do you have the fg gt with the Miami?

     

    yeah

     

     

    the coyote/miami comes in a 5.8 version as well.

    NA these would be tits, throw a charger on top and you have pure insanity.

    well engineered engines are the way of the future, e39 m5 is still one of my favourite cars because of its 4.9L 400hp 7000rpm v8 that you could put around at 1200rpm in top gear if you wanted too.

    that is a Mod engine, not the coyote.

    The fast way to tell is the coyote has cam phaser plugs on the front of the covers


  3. Coyote is the way of the future.
    JPC are making 351 Coyotes. Soon as ford do this they'll be the next hot ticket. bolt-in 600hp completely streetable. Even more streetable with a pump.
    Mine makes 525rwhp and my wife can still drive it in heels. It idles at 400rpm, it revs to 6200, and can get less than 10L on the freeway in a fat as fuck car.

    .

    When you consider that probably half of the Mustangs are gonna be V8s in Australia (I expect), they'll start flooding the market as the cars get crashed.

     

    If I had my engine in an XE, it would be a VERY low 10 and completely streetable.
    Building a 10 second clevo or Windsor from sctratch would cost between 10 and 15K anyway.


  4. I was asked by my young bloke what was metal flake paint was.

     

    Before I answer I probly should have a correct answer

     

    I think it's microscopic bits of plastic , I think if it was real metal it would cause rust

     

    Anybody got experience in this field .

    I liked this, Steve.

    It just doesnt get enough credit when people ask before giving info to younger ones.


  5. I cant help but think that I'm appearing stupid here.

     

    Yeah, a Coyote is different to a Cleveland, but in response to being on a track, measuring and controlling oil temperature, please explain to me why they shouldnt be both looked at in the same regard.

    If you'd like to take the details further, it is of more importance on the Coyote than a Cleveland because of the oil cooled pistons the Coyote has.

     

    I understand the necessity to keep oil temps safe.

    I'm not against measuring the oil temp.

     

    Can you tell me a good reason why you shouldnt run a thermostat for your oil cooler?


  6. I get that. Thats why I suggest a thermostat.
    Simply watching it isnt much good, I reckon.

    My FG has oil temp and yeah I can check it, but if it did get hot, all I could do is stop. That makes for shit laps


  7. You've gotta work out why you give a fuck about your oil temp.
     

    Get one of these, fit it to your oil system, put your temp sensor AFTER this. Check that this works and maintains the temperature. If all that works, move the temp sensor to BEFORE the thermostat so you know when your oil is up to temp and just how hot it is getting.

    .

    I sort of dont understand why you want to measure something that you dont intend on controlling.

    It'd be like counting how many cows are getting out of the paddock. Dont bother checking unless you are gonna keep the cunts under control.


  8. Another option (if you can find one): a dual-quad with twin Impco 425s. Been done before I believe with great results, a bit more compact than GRA mixers.

     

    Can you find a dual quad clevo manifold?

     

    He might not want a tunnelram swinging in the breeze


  9. Looks like it would be simple enough to chuck it in the mill and drill holes for bungs in the manifold and weld them in.

    I dunno how to set the height. Do I machine in a step or just set them when I they get welded in? Do I weld on bosses to mount the rail?


  10. Thanks very much.

    What do you reckon that black border measures? 3,4 or 5mm?

    I dunno mate. They wrappen in gladwrap in my shed somewhere.

    I'll be moving sheds in  the next month or so if you can wait.

     

    Are you just going to get a sign writer to print them for ya?
