    Do I need to re-tune?

    I think the camera makes them sound louder than they actually are.

    Do I need to re-tune?

    I put hooker max-flow mufflers on my 07, and deleted the cats. It is very tame, only enough growl to know it’s a v8 and absolutely no droning.

    Motorcraft injectors

    If they are the same as what your car already has, they are plug and play. There’s no learning needed. If they are different flow rate, they have to be tuned

    Transmission tuning issue

    Are there any engine mods done that require a tune? Depending on how this one was tuned, you might be able to have it flashed back to stock much cheaper than getting a custom tune. But that would also put the engine parameters back to stock. So if the engine requires a tune, you’ll have to pay...

    2008GT Mating with New Edge Mustang

    Oh yeah, that’s alright looks like a ton of fun. If you get both of the k members out at the same time, do you think you could set them next to each other and compare mounting points between them? I’ve daydreamed about using a s197 k member in my 98 so I can use an electric steering rack from...

    2008GT Mating with New Edge Mustang

    I don’t have answers to your questions, but I have my own questions! lol. Why did you guys use the s197 rear end? Did you use the s197 k member and front suspension? Can you post pictures of this work?

    Missing a part?

    That could be a provision for the factory lifting brackets from when the engine was installed at the plant.

    DIY 3V S197 tuning

    If you really want to do your own tuning, get a hptuners device. Once you know what to do, it is very easy, and there are plenty of tuning classes you can take on line. A lot of the tuning is trial and error though.

    Timing indecision

    Measure the gasket to be sure of the thickness. Personally I would aim for roughly 6mm clearance. That’s about 1/4 inch, so should be good.

    Are you sure it says to remove 17mm from the stand?

    6r80 INTO 06 GT Final setup questions

    Don’t bother with a deep pan, it’s not needed and ground clearance becomes an issue. Use a stock crossmember from an 11-14 gt with a 6r80, it bolts right in.

    Comp cam stage 3 nsr install question

    Post a couple pictures of your cams, specifically the front of the cam and link the instructions. That way we can look at what you’re looking at.

    Coyote hasn’t has steel sleeves since 2018. The gen 3 & 4 coyote have coated bores. The block has to be sleeved if there is a failure.

    Timing indecision

    I’ve seen a lot more broken chain guides on 3v’s than I have on 2v or 4v engines though. I know in part, it’s because of the entire guide being plastic instead of steel backed, but the plastic tensioners definitely fail. Like you said though, it has to do with the gaskets blowing out though.

    Suggestions on removing 4.6 from engine bay with or without transmission?

    Dino brings up a good point. I guess it also depends on your work space. If you’ve got the tools and space, you can drop the whole thing out the bottom. The 3v comes out the top pretty easy though, as long as it has stock headers on it. I left my radiator in, pulled the fan, and even left the...

    Your cam cap bolts are fine. My car has 230k+ miles and I just reused those bolts. Always change the phaser bolts but the cam cap bolts are fine. FYI, the coyote engine uses an iron tensioners with no gasket, and the stock high performance tensioners still use the ratchet.

    Suggestions on removing 4.6 from engine bay with or without transmission?

    Standard or auto? Personally, I like to drop the transmission first. It goes together easier afterward.

    Timing indecision

    Personally, I do not like those tensioners. I always use iron tensioners that do not use a gasket. But that’s a whole different discussion. Holding the cam at the rear will not put any kind of undo stress on the cam itself.

    If you already have the tool to torque them, use it. If not, you won’t hurt anything. You can wedge a piece of wood between the chain and the cam sprocket. Some 2v cams have a spot in the rear end of the camshaft that accepts a ratchet extension and you can hold the cam back there with a...

    How does your L chain look on the crank gear? The pictures you’ve shown, look fine. I’m not sure I understand the point in that tool. It goes on the crankshaft? I’ve never used any special tools to time modular engines. 2, 3, 4v, or coyote, nothing special needed.

    TOB shim thickness

    Just eyeball it and center it the best you can. Don’t forget, you now need longer bolts.

    How was the car running? What about putting new cam followers on this one?

    Anyone heard from Lito recently?

    If it was me, I’d send it. Lol Put a wideband in there and watch the afr when you make a pull. That’ll let you know if it’s safe. Just shut it down if it goes too lean. I cant say anything about Lito though, I have never dealt with him.

    Anyone heard from Lito recently?

    Correct, but in failed maf mode it runs open loop kind of an inferred speed density. And cold starts in open loop use an open loop table that has nothing to do with the maf.
