no doubt they will tune it down to be 10kw more than the Ford

Great for a Corvette. Looking forward to the Ford Coyote and Cobra coming together here. Almost wish I was starting again ...

Don't wish it Merv ---DO IT!

Queensland leads the way again...

Out of the muddy floods and that crazy Yasi, into the golden light, comes Merv's blown Coyote Cobra, silver grey with black mirrors, black wheel centres, black roll bar and pipes...

You know you want to. We're only here once. Can't take it with you... All that stuff. Go local or go SPF. Whoa, I'm excited!

Geez, Don calm down there! Feels like I just 'finished' this one! However, if my motor every karks it ...

That's the LSA out of the Cadillac, I'm guessing it's been tweaked for the Camaro ZL1.

The idle leaves a little to be desired. But I love everything else that it brings to the table!

Jake

The idle leaves A LOT to be desired. :rolleyes:


.

This will be the type of setup I will have on my car. LS3 with a 1900cc supercharger on the top, water to air intercooler. Initial runs with a pea shooter tailpipe have >300Kw at the wheels on base tune, move to a more open exhaust and should have >350Kw at the wheels and a great induction sound.

That begs the question....what are you doing idling anyway !!:eek: :LOL:

LS LS LS, Wouldnt change from an LS. Cheap, great power great choice. LS1, 2 3, Ls 7. From 5.7 litre to 7.0 litre why would you bother with anything else, light weight and it fits. The old ford holden argument is a thing of the past at least here in Australia. The fun police have taken our choice.

Steve,

Do you still have the Holden stroker in yours?

Ben

No Beejay I have gone to an LS1 with the t56. I loved the old holden but tuning and power was nowhere near the LS. So many more options, Im thinking of going to a strong 6.0 litre or stroke the 5.7 we will see what winter brings!!

This is a Modular engine...check out the spec's

5.0 L CoyoteThe 5.0 L (4951 cc, 302 cid)[9] "Coyote" V8 is the latest evolution of the Modular engine.[10] It shares the 4.6 L's 100 mm (3.937 in) bore spacing and 227 mm (8.937 in) deck height,[11] while bore diameter and stroke have increased to 92.2mm (3.63 in) and 92.7mm (3.65 in), respectively. The engine also retains the 4.6 L's 150.7 mm (5.933 in) connecting rod length, which produces a 1.62:1 rod to stroke ratio.[12] The firing order has been changed from that shared by all previous Modular V8s (1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8) to that of the Ford Flathead V8 (1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2).[12] Compression ratio is 11.0:1, despite having typical port fuel injection (as opposed to direct injection) the engine can still be run on 87 octane gasoline.

The Coyote features a revised aluminum engine block with improved strength and crank-case ventilation, and all new 4V DOHC cylinder heads that have shifted the camshafts outboard, which allowed for a compact roller finger follower setup and improved intake port geometry. The result is an intake port that outflows the Ford GT intake port by 4 percent and the Yates D3 (NASCAR) intake port up to 0.472" (12 mm) lift, which is the maximum lift of the Coyote's intake cams.[12] The Boss 302 features versions of these cylinder heads with CNC ported intake/exhaust ports and combustion chambers, along with lightened valve-train components and lightweight sodium filled exhaust valves. The Coyote also features a forged crankshaft, powdered metal rods and hypereutectic pistons with oil jets to help piston cooling, while the Boss receives forged connecting rods and pistons.[13] Engine redline is 7000 rpm for the GT and 7500 rpm (est) for the Boss 302.

The engine is Ford's first V8 application of cam torque actuated (CTA) Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT), which allows the power-train control module (PCM) to advance and retard intake and exhaust cam timing independently of each other, providing improved power, fuel economy and reduced emissions. The engine also receives a new composite intake manifold with a single blade 80 mm (3.1 in) throttle mounted low and center, necessitating a relocation of the alternator to the side of the engine. The Boss 302 features a newer short-runner composite intake manifold. The engine is assembled in Ford's Essex Engine Plant in Windsor, Ontario, using existing Modular tooling.[14]

For the Australian Ford Falcon-based FPV GT range, the engine has been equipped with an Eaton supercharger.[15]

The 4-valve DOHC Ti-VCT 5.0 L made Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2011. [16]

Vehicles equipped with the 32-valve DOHC Ti-VCT 5.0 L include the following:

2011 Ford Mustang GT, 412 hp (307 kW) @ 6500 rpm, 390 lb·ft (529 N·m) @ 4250 rpm
2011 Ford F150, 360 hp (268 kW) @ 5500 rpm, 380 lb·ft (515 N·m) @ 4250 rpm [17]
2011 Ford Falcon GT,[18][19] Supercharged, 449 hp (335 kW) @ 5750 rpm, 420 lb·ft (569 N·m) @ 2200-5500 rpm[15]
2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302, 444 hp (331 kW) @ 7400 rpm, 380 lb·ft (515 N·m) @ 4500 rpm [13][20]

and it can set off car alarms as it passes....

Same engine as the dohc cammer, its been winning races for years now.

If I had to do it again, I'd think about this.....
Using a standard Ford Block
1100hp on pump gas, 1400hp on racing gas
I Luv Ford and the guys at NRE!

Looks like the old weezing 5.4 needs a couple of turbos to wake it up.:D
