Apples with apples.... an unopened fuel injected 5.0 windsor will run forever.... just possibly like a post VT LS engine.... And just like the LS coming along in 1998 and being a superior standard engine to modify, the Coyote has now graced us with her presence and looks set to take over the title.....
kindling provided..... |

Oh forgot to add....
Engine failure was caused by a 16 year old flawed head design. I knew they were suspect but i ran the risk and paid the price because I was too tight to spend the money on new heads when i built my engine...... Aaahhhhhh the painful lessons we learn.... |

Those Coyotes are awesome, I just want to see one running in a Cobra before we all get too excited.
I was browsing Just Cars mag last night.
Tell me Ford lovers, why is it Ok for the majority of Ford rods to be fitted with a Chev, yet you guys get all excited about using LS engines in a kit car?

cheap wine Ben.
The chevy small block has always had good support from the aftermarket producers compared to the ford Windsor. Cost would have had a lot to do with it.
I am sure every Hotrodder would prefer to fit a Flathead, Hemi or a Y block ford over any SBF or SBC, but a simple cheap option is the 350 chev, TH 350 and a 10 bolt diff. These rods are pretty ho hum in my book.
Before the Billet age, a Windsor alternator bracket was impossible to get however for SBC there were 5 different options.
So like everything these days it comes down to cost.
I always chuckle with the "Bang for Buck" and "dollar per HP" comments surely the descision to build or own a cobra is a bad financial decision in the first place!!!
Love your passion Tomcat, you have to support a team if you want to play.
Phil

Phil,
Point taken. The aftermarket generally supports the winners.
How many Ford manufactured parts are in your engine again....?
