My Coyote Motor Swap in an 86 LX Coupe

[90redcoupe]

I wonder if the 1 7/8 headers are worth anything at the power level, u wouldn't think so but maybe exhaust ports on those heads are huge!

I think the 1 7/8" would be worth maybe a few hp, definitely. In a fox body, however, there isn't the room..

Great work. This will be one of the most popular Fox swaps thanks to your work ironing out the obstcles.

Wow, this is awesome. I think it's amazing people can put this much time and dedication into a project like this. Coolest FOX swap yet. Now you get the modern technology with it's power and efficiency.

A local shop here (S&R Performance ) has done a couple swaps and has a couple more in the works. They have the accessories brackets worked out and make them in house. Some pictures from a 2001 Bullitt swap.

Good luck getting the updates on that Bullitt build. I can't find any and I have seen two separate threads on it.

what did you do to convert the electrical speedometer signal from the t56 to make it work with mechanical guages?

 

[BigWill90]

Just purchased the 5.0L Aluminator for my 87 coupe trying to figure out which way to go with the power adder, do you think there room for a twin screw with a 2inch cowl.

I am using an Autometer electric speedo, so it hooks right up to to the OSS on the T56. Nothing fancy required. Just a signal wire and then ground the other wire. Bam.

Hard to say... I don't know the answer to that question though.

Car drives! Still a few things to iron out, however, before she can really be let loose. In this video, there are no power brakes or steering, so slowing things down is a bit hairy. Should have the p/s system wrapped up by the end of this week. Then tune, then track.

If you need the power steering brackets, I would call S&R performance.. THey have done a couple 5.0 swaps and have a couple magazine features to show for it. Talk to Bobby...
