    I've done a bunch of motors from the short block up, but never done the short block itself. The bearings intimidate me, getting everything sized right. I'd probably have the short block built and then put the rest together myself. What I'd really want is to be where the gen 3s are with full...

    Yeah, a later car with Coyote might be preferred, even if it does cost more in the long run just because I'd have a little faster car to drive around in the meantime and it saves on effort. But I'm wanting a built motor, so even if I started with a Coyote I'd want to rebuild the motor with all...

    Having had a bunch of foxbodies and an sn95, not new to Mustangs, but I am new to the S197. As I currently drive a 2016 Fiesta ST, I'm a speculative S197 owner. With the exception of a few driver's schools and track days, I've effectively been out of the car thing for about 10 years now. I...

    My cheap as dirt Coyote swap.. 06 GT 500 to the wheels for $5000

    Would this swap work on a V6, or is it better to start with a GT?

    My cheap as dirt Coyote swap.. 06 GT 500 to the wheels for $5000

    Lots has changed for me since then. Been out of cars for ~10 years now, been career focused. Bought a place in The Hill (Jefferson and Bluebonnet) a little over a year ago. In the middle of a 3000sf rehab or I absolutely would come volunteer some labor. Back to your thread though - I simply...

    My cheap as dirt Coyote swap.. 06 GT 500 to the wheels for $5000

    I've had about a dozen foxbodies, one of which I think I bought from you (red caged road race coupe), an sn95 too. Drove a bone stock S197 in an autocross once and it's clearly a superior platform to the earlier cars. What you're doing in this thread is very near to what I'm considering, should...

    My cheap as dirt Coyote swap.. 06 GT 500 to the wheels for $5000

    The g5 Zeta platform is quite good, but it's nearly 4000lbs and has a number of ergonomic problems that make me not so interested, though the Z28 did get Motor Trend's Driver's Car. I'm not religious at all about cars; I'm interested in what's best for me. Besides, Ford ruined any mystique the...

    My cheap as dirt Coyote swap.. 06 GT 500 to the wheels for $5000

    My interest would be a dead-nuts reliable daily driver with everything functioning, that could do an occasional track day. The coyote-powered S197s are holding their value a little too well and the 3V cars are very good bargains right now. Not opposed to an LS swap either, but that's even more...

    Does the harness also allow cruise control?
