67 whippled-coyote fastback

That is going to be a fun little rocket! My brother is a Mustang guy and I think he would flip of he saw this. I have been thinking about that motor for my '78 F-150. currently has a 460 but at 9-11 mpg gotta think about the coyote. I have no experience around one but hear they get with it in a big way, and then you add the help to yours... Ya buddy hope you have stock in your favorite tire company. Looks good!!

I think a Coyote swap in your 78 F-150 would be awesome!! I have a few sets of used tires I'm gonna cook before I put the good ones on! LOL....
Thanks for the good comments!

Thanks I appreciate that. Hopefully I'll have her running this summer.

Just a quick update:
I got the trans mounted to the engine. Now, I'm in the middle of making a crossmember for it. I should be able to finish mock up, weld it together, and then bolt it back in!

[migg400]

Yes, I did powder coat the clutch fork...LOL

Haven't been making much progress on her lately, but starting to pick back up. I was able to get the computer mounted, make the Heat Exchanger brackets, installed oil catch can, installed new rear end pinion yoke, finished mocking the Trans cross member, and my custom Aluminum driveshaft (1350's at both ends!) came in yesterday. I am also working on fabricating a heat shield/cover for the computer wire harness. Lastly, I mocked up a 18x11 rear wheel with a 295 tire to check for clearance and it looks like I have plenty of room for 315's.

Headers, Subframe connectors, Steering Column, and seat brackets are up next!!

Great project fella!
I'm following!
Good luck with the hood clearance! I have to heavily modify mine to fit hi rised intake.

Subscribed... quick question, is there a size difference in the Coyote motor vs the GT 500 5.8? Watching you both (you and dalpilot) I'm gonna go one or the other.. cost wise the Coyote is cheaper. Also what tranny is that? Is it from a 2003/4 cobra? I noticed it doesn't have the remote linkage like the new 5.0 trannys

Gnitro - The Coyote and the GT500 are different with respect to cubic inches and built on different platform. The Coyote is a 302cu 5.0l, and the GT500 engine is a 351 cu 5.8l. The trans that I'm running is a Tremec T45 built by Hanlon Performance. The TR3650's and T45's bolt directly to the coyote. Not sure if the T56 out of the 03/04 Cobra's directly bolt to the Coyote without an adapter plate or aftermarket bell housing.

Headers coated and wrapped....

[Dalpilot]

Who's headers are those?

That glove-box mounted panel is a trick little installation! Everything looks good so far!

[migg400]

Centerforce - Thanks much appreciated.....

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