2000HP 5.0L Coyote Engine Teardown Featuring Brett’s (Snot Rocket) 6 Second Mustang

In todays video we present you with Brett LaSala’s 6 Second Mustang engine teardown. This 2000hp Powerplant had several event wins, 200+ mph passes, and ran 6’s on a stock block, stock crank, and aftermarket rods and pistons.

so a sleeved oem block, and forged rods and pistons making 2k hp? wow thats pretty impressive

[@roseyboi1]

I was just thinking the exact same thing 👍

[@marklowe7431]

Check out Ford Barra turbo 6 4L factory block making 2200hp+ 7.9 Sec street registered lady driver. DynoMite Perf in Sydney.

[@Prestiged_peck]

Not new to the mod motors, forged rods and pistons on the 90s teksid cobra blocks with stock sleeves are good for about as far as you can keep the B heads on the block, regular C heads wouldn't make the power, and then gt40/gt500 heads from 05+ got them to the point where they could make 3k+ with the right rod/piston on that syock kellog crank. After that, a billet steel crank was needed to not eat bearings every pass. And billet steed rods too. The record with a 4.6 modular block is near 4000 horse (according to math from a quarter mile run) done on stock sleeves bored .003 over, and the main webs started cracking. This is all rated from John mihovetz, the modular ford legend.

[@marklowe7431]

[@canadianmarauder1923]

Dang! Interesting tear down. I’m fiddling with a 4.6 4v out of an 03 marauder and it’s a really cool engine but the coyote has gotta be cheaper to build. Warms my heart to see you working on a ford engine.

[@InFamousAlex209]

Best part is, you don’t have to build it. Throw some boost,E-85, and a good tune and she’ll live at 7-800 rwhp for a long long time

[@jonnathwill8318]

It seems like they are in the short term but you got to realize to that Coyote motors are very costly to acquire 4.5k and up and to get one that has not been ragged on is a lot harder 5.6k and up there have also been issues with piston to wall clearance the typewriter tick and rod knock also

[@jonnathwill8318]

Then the control pack is 2600 or more for the manual transmissions plus power by the hour accessory kit and if you plan on using a manual you have to buy that buy a drive shaft ect. Plus whos gonna wire it up I may have miss something's it's gonna cost a good 20k and up to do it right

[@jonnathwill8318]

Whereas you can take your Mercury Marauder motor drop a set of rods and high compression pistons in there find a s/c kit from adtr for 8 k and get 750 hp for less then 15k if you have a buddy to help you

[@jonnathwill8318]

[@BOSS-jf7on]

its awesome that anyone could buy snot rocket power and try thier luck at racing.

[@patg3424]

John Mihovetz set the record with the 4.6 and went 5.88@255. He was making around 3400 hp. This was with a non billet block too. MMR recently went faster but with a full billet block.

[@BC08]

Ya. Mihovetz did that with a 99 Teksid block with stock liners taken .002” over (dry decked with coolant routed to the back of the heads), Ford GT/Shelby GT500 head castings, and stock hydraulic lash adjusted and cam followers. This is why I laugh at this dude saying the old 4-valves were “dark days”. Coyote is “easy mode” only because they have readily available intake manifolds and stock engine management that will spin 8000 rpm paired with decent factory rods. The truth is Coyote hasn’t really haven’t really progressed over the “dark days” stuff in regards to blocks, cranks and cylinder heads (Ford GT/GT500 heads specifically).

[@dustinmunton9136]

Hi do you get paid for advertisements that get skipped? Love what you guys do and would like to know if letting adds play actually benefits you?

[@xozindustries7451]

Would you ever consider using a flat plane crank with a turbo? You’ll that help the pistons live longer?

[@turbostyler]

Unreal video thanks for sharing some insights to the coyote engine. I'm curious about the timing chain issue. Why do they and also the LS motors have a hard time holding things together with a chain. Seems so odd..

[@jaymeagher1510]

Chains live a hard life. In the mod Ford they're long and I feel that compounds the issue. The LS has a "dinky" chain compared to other OHV engines so you have less material to handle the workload. A belt would be nice!

Enjoyed the video with Pedro on the 2jz and also this one with Bret on the coyote; very informational. However, I caught the slight shade at sai li with the tuning stuff; didn't care for that too much.

[@jaymeagher1510]

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I hope he doesn't feel slighted. Him and Brett were racing this car at high power levels with the stock ECU while trying different pistons etc. I should have been more clear about the learning curve involved. Furthermore me and everyone else that does this type of work tears things up from time to time. We don't need to take it personal, it's part of the game we choose to play. If you come to Real St you and I can go over the glass case with all the stuff I've broken over the years! It's just part of the game. I'll work to be more considerate for the internet. I know things get muddy here and again it wasn't my intention. Thanks

@@jaymeagher1510 you're a classic act Jay. I guess it's all perspective; that's just how I took it but I really appreciate you taking the time to clarify that. I used to have a s550 mustang so that's how I've crossed paths with Brett and Sai Li. With that said, I watch alot of KZbin videos and I really enjoy the last couple videos I've watched of yours. You're right, every shop goes through issues, it's the ones that stand by their work, learn and improve their program is what sets the top shops from the rest. I have nothing but respect for your sir. Maybe one day I can do a build with you guys.

Question for Jay: if you were rebuilding this engine and you have the “chatter” as exhibited on the faces of main caps and block; do you do any prep to these surfaces before rebuild if planning to reuse both block and caps or have they mated? I expect any prep to the mating faces would then require an addition line hone of the mains?

You can surface the block/caps if you'd like but as you mentioned you have to re align hone/bore. Thanks

[@turbotorana4336]

im suprised he never mentioned anything about having to hammer out the gudgeon pins from the pistons you should be able to just easily push them in and out with your fingers,the tight fit occurs when the engine has had detonation.

[@jaymeagher1510]

I think that's moreso because the pins were reused and the chamfer on the pin was a bit excessive. Looking at the pin bores it didn't look like it was hammering but we've run that thing pretty hard none the less. When we take the next engine apart we can have a better read on it. The bearings were not hammered, but I agree they should slide out. Thanks
