So some of you know what I went through to get the car going after blowing up the second built 3V. I have decided on a new setup and have just about everything in to get it going again.The car has been basically sitting for the last 6 years and a couple months (4/6/2010). I have gotten rid of everything off the 5.3L big bore 3v after finding out that they left coolant in the motor and it was rusted up, coincidentally the GT500 motor I bought had the same fate.
I ordered a built 5.4 from Accufab and everything to put it together. Then decided that I wanted to go the Coyote route. So now I have a sleeved 2012 block and all new parts to get it going again. Parts list below.
2012 Coyote block with Darton Gen III sleeves 3.7" bore
New Boss crankshaft
New timing set
New Livernois Stage 3 ported and polished cylinder heads
Diamond pistons 12:1 compression top and side coated
New Coyote oil pump with TSS billet gears
Oil Squirter block off plates
Manley Pro Billet I beam rods
MMR Billet Crankshaft gear
Accufab SHD secondary timing chains
MMR billet chain guides and secondary tensioner bracket
New Boss Alternator
All the misc. sensors from BeefCake
FRPP Coyote Control Pack for 11-14
Built TR6060
Mcleod RXT twin disk clutch
Stock intake cams and Boss exhaust cams
Some things I am still undecided on:
Intake Manifold? Looking at Holley Sniper, Victor Jr, and 5.2 Voodoo intakes?
Do I need to do anything further to strengthen the block past the sleeves?
Block just got back from getting sleeved and looking to start getting it assembled.
I plan to reference a couple threads on here (mainly Lito and MattD) about the Coyote swap with Control Pack into an earlier body and specifically into the 2005 due to the changes from 2005/2006 to 2007+.
Car was converted to drag racing but now looking to convert it back to street/drag.
Here is thread with most of the stuff done to the car.
