Anyone do a Coyote swap yet?

[Gear Head]

Planing on doing the swap. Starting to collect parts now. How much do you have in your swap so far?

Thanks

[silver fox]

[03SVTCOBRA]

its also a good way to spend a lot of money to achieve the same goal... best check into the origins of that Coyote too...

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Ugh.

[blubyu87gt]

If you dont even have a donor car then going to be well over 10k. Most that I have seen are in the 10k range for large parts. That's depending on the trans and if its new or used parts. Thats not including cluster and other little stuffs that always come up. The resale value is good on them though. Mostly around the 20k range in a clean fox with a good clean swap. 16ish in average bodies with shade tree swaps. Was looking at doing it in the Mystic but just cant justify the cost. The ohh aahhh factor is good and all but you can get the same thing from an older 5.4 and a coyote boss or cobra jet intake with a pair of hair driers under the hood.

Do what you want to do. Don't let the lsx nazis bother you. Two of the lsx guys in this thread don't have engines in their cars.

:cheers

[Gear Head]

I might go get that.

Yeah pretty good deal. Flash 5K i bet he'll take it.

:razz:

[Harry]

Hell having a ford motor in a ford car is being different now a days. Why follow the crowd?

[DIGGLER]

coyote is a great motor, but it is still very expensive. thats my only issue with it in terms of doing a swap with one. ford in a ford or chevy in a chevy doesnt mean much to me, i really dont care i dont bleed blue or have the heartbeat of america thumping in my chest. never did really understand that whole deal.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

The question is, What is 1iron gonna do when a lil 5.3 truck mota with a turbo comes by that stroker windsor on the back tires bout the 330 mark?

If I want a chevy motor I buy a chevy car. It is that simple. I don't dislike chevy , ford or dodge. I just don't cross breed cars and motors. Why reinvent the wheel.

[Harry]

Oh and I agree the Coyote motor is expensive right now. Give it ten years like the LS motors and they will be affordable also.

[Harry]

It's like a Clemson guy buying a USC shirt because its on sale. Dammit sail.

Get it right sell.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Doubt that. Limited production compared to the LS.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

And wake up your dreaming.

Think so? Tell me I cant. Please.

[Harry]

Doubt that. Limited production compared to the LS.

How do you figure that. Hell they are even in trucks in some form just like chevrolet did.

[DIGGLER]

but why not? i have a ford rearend in my pontiac, you have a gm trans in your ford... the engine is just another piece.


i'll shuttup now. lol :offtopic:

Got me on that one. :bigthumb: But that is it. I would put a different rear end in a chevy also.

Don't come in here and make sense of shit. :ty:

[Harry]

He has a good point.

Ya,Ya, I know. Now go back to sailing stuff.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

True. I guess when you say COYOTE motor I think MUSTANG motor not a F150 motor. Even then, Ford trucks are the most dependable longest lasting trucks on the road. Wont see any in the junkyards anytime soon. As compared to the LS which is in Tahoes, Yukons, Suburbans, Escalades, 1500s, 2500s, 3500s, Trailblazers, GTO's, Camaros, Trans-Ams, OH and MONAROS! lol. "coyotes" will never be $250-$300 like the a junkyard 5.3 IMO.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Never happen. Can't. Won't

Sit tight.

[Oceanside78]

Not to sway the thread, but what's the deal with the 5.3? Why are they so cheap and so sought after? Can you just put whatever heads on and go? Do they lose much since its down almost half a liter to the LS1? Just wondering

[Harry]

Never said it was going to be that cheap, But it ten years you will still be able to get them cheaper than you will now. That was my only point.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Just cheap, thats why they are sought after. As far as swapping heads remember most of your aftermarket heads start off as 5.3 castings....

[Harry]

Good point for you. Mine is all Ford.

Yes , yours is all ford. :hail: :bigthumb:

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Sho nuffs.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

I will. I will be fun seeing you on the back tires at the 330.

Well these badass turbo cars like to rise up when you get out there a piece.


Oh and I'm glad your entertained.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Yes , yours is all ford. :hail: :bigthumb:

He'll get tired of having to rebuild that C4 every season.... :poke:

[ShawnBoyMoody]

If I could get a whole season, that would be great.

I was being nice. Meanie. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-finger004.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)



Nice Sig BTW!

[Chillerman]

Sail the 351.

I will give you 50.00 for it.

[Chillerman]

He knows he wants a glide but is being cheap.
