67 whippled-coyote fastback

Who's headers are those?

They are Doug's Coyote swap headers. They were designed based on the TCI front IFS. I have the Rod & Customs front IFS, and thesea were definitely a challenge to make the fitment perfect. I had to modify the driver side header and shave the clutch fork.

For me to use the 127mm JLT cold air intake that's made for the GT500"s, I had to use the smallest filter that K&N makes!

Will the air filter impede performance?

Will the air filter impede performance?

No, It should be fine according to K&N. They did state that I may have to clean it more often (depending on drive time) versus the larger one that comes with the JLT kit. Below is a pic of the mock up plumbing that I did using a stock GT500 intake and a JLT pipe for 99-04 Mustangs. It would've worked that way, but I was afraid of all the hot air that's being pulled out of the radiator by the fan getting sucked right into the intake.

I subscribed earlier, just want to thank you for your posts and sharing so much good info. I'm using the same IFS in my AMX, and a 4.6L motor. My oil filter points to the side and concerned me, and I think you provided a solution.

Glad that my build can provide useful info and tips to fellow builders. I will be posting a few more progress pics soon, just haven't had the time.
Much appreciated!

I just bought a 2012 f-150 coyote. I have a 2.3L tvs blower, I was wondering how you were able to mount your blower? And also if you are using the ford performance control pack? Amd running a seperate control pack for the blower? Maybe that's a dumb question but I heard that that had to be done. Anyway, I love your build. Thanks so much for posting!

Andrewb70 - Thanks for the tips. I actually have the Aeromotive 340 Stealth Tank which I'm hoping will survive for a while but I will keep your recommendations in mind.

Peter - It's a truck engine out of a 2012 F150. Not using it due to clearance issues. I know the truck that it came out of which only had just under 5k miles on it and I got it for a good deal plus the factory oil cooler. The compression is 10.5:1 vs 11:1 of the Mustang.

Thanks for the feedback guys!!

How much did you pay for this truck motor if you don't mind me asking and where did you get it? I have a 69 cougar that I'm looking into doing this swap for. Love the build too!!!!

Do you have the entire blower kit which includes the blower itself (head unit) and the Lower intake manifold? If you only have the head unit, you can contact Roush Performance parts dept or VMP performance and they will sell you the Lower intake manifold for the blower (head unit). FYI- The TVS and Whipple (my blower) uses the same Lower manifold. As far as the Control Pack, you can use it. No need for a separate control pack, just additional wiring for the TB, and Lower manifold temp sensor (you will need to split the wiring signal from the inlet temp sensor back to the ecu. VMP sells the additional wiring.

The engine is actually out of 2013 ( I need to edit the post). I purchased it from an engine recycle company in Detroit and had it shipped. It's been a few years, but if I remember correctly I believe I paid somewhere around 3k with the shipping? I'd have to find the receipt to be sure.

I finally had time to get some WORK DONE! I finished building and installing my gauge cluster. I mixed and matched just to be different!

[migg400]

I went with the "Weld-in" Tin Man Fabrication subframe connectors. Good design and well made.




Next is to coat the interior, trunk area, and undercarriage.

Centerforce - Thanks much appreciated.....

And Yes, I am running a Dual Friction Centerforce Clutch!!!

Let us know if you have any questions about it when the time comes! Keep up the good work-your engines looking great!

Actually I do have one question:

What is the "Break in" cycle for a new Dual Friction Clutch? Does it depend on mileage or the number of clutch fork engage/disengage cycles?
Thanks....

Personally, if the disk material is organic, there is no need for break in. If you want to err on the safe side, my take is that it is abut heat cycles, so any mileage recommendation is based on city driving, where you would naturally use the clutch more.

You don't see new cars with a clutch break in warning, do you? Just my thoughts...

what coating did you use on the interior?
