It's finally out of the create (kinda). Bought the engine more than a year ago and now the light of day. Since this is a automatic install (stop laughing please) and the motor comes setup for manual a couple things had to be done. The pilot bearing had to be removed and the flywheel had to be swapped for a flexplate. I called Ford Racing for the torque specs and was given 177 in/lbs plus 60 degrees. If I'm figuring correctly that converts to just over 14 ft/lbs plus 60 degrees. Think I'll make another call. More on the transmission in a later post. I also removed the headers to make room for the new BBK Coyote swap headers.
This swap is taking place in my garage. A normal garage attached to my home in Minnesota. I am a back yard mechanic who loves to work on my 1994 Mustang GT Convertible. I have no formal training, but have worked on cars my whole life. After weighing the options for increasing power I decided the Coyote 5.0 would be the best fit. Please follow me as I make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. Feel free to make comments, suggestions or just ask me questions along the way. Wish me luck!
UPDATES
Be sure to look back at previous posts for updates to those specific subjects. I'm trying to keep things updated without it being scattered all over the place. So if I have a new picture or more information (or more correct information) I will add it to that previous post. If I add updated text it will be in red.
