Here is the thing, 4.6 in 2v. 3v, or 4v can make big power...and sound WAAAAY better than a raspy Coyote. I simply have NEVER been a fan of the Coyote. Love this 3v set up...BEAST!

[@BrenspeedEngineering]

Thanks!

I've wished Ford would have stayed with the 4.6 Modular firing order on the Coyote. They probably didn't for vibration, free-revving, high RPM reasons.

[@ejuju1]

Yes 💯 my 4.6 3V sounds so much better then some coyotes I hear in the street

[@3vpossum]

I love the coyote and the 3v, they both have pros and cons and are both great engines

[@shawnsanders9450]

Then they should have done a 4V swap because I bet a 4V Long block swap wouldn't cost $15k and cost that much. I agree the 2V, 3V and 4V sound way better. I have to choose my exhaust VERY wisely to make it sound good. LT headers, resonated H pipe and make sure you don't let it get too loud or the Coyote just sounds like shit. I have had a gen 1 and now 3 Coyote and its the same story. Making over 800RWHP in a 3v is polishing a turd though. It would have saved him a ton of money to put a gen 2 Coyote in there. Fuel system and same supercharger system and would have made the same power with a gen stock 2 Coyote. With E85 it would have been every bit as reliable as that fully built 3v.

Good video. I have a 3valve with a supercharger and nitrous. It did 960hp to the wheels on Q16 fuel. It was detuned to 804hp and I lost the built 5r55s on the first pass. It has a powerglide now and awaiting retuning. I bought the car new and have $140,000+ in it. Some of the labor I did myself, some I did not. It adds up and is expensive though I have too much in it to dump it for cheap. It has gone in the nines in Las Vegas but in the long run a factory Cobra Jet race car would have been a cheaper buy. The FUN factor of taking a stock mid 14 second car and hopefully hitting the high eights with your own handiwork makes it worthwhile. At least that is what I tell myself. Again, great honest video

[@ichigonubetube]

The key is to do it all bit by bit, do the brakes, then suspension, then rear end, then do a one piece drive shaft, then a transmission (also built tr3650s are pretty good), clutch, then start on the engine. By the time you get to the engine, you will have an already dialed in monster. Currently building the rear end, then im gonna throw in a drive shaft.

[@shawnsanders9450]

Not that much it doesn't. Stock Gen 2 Coyote swap, LT headers, fuel system for E85, and exactly the same blower system would get you the same power but be cheaper. I also have had many GM F bodies and building up the 3V would be like trying to build up a gen 1 or 2 small block chevy instead of doing what should have been done the whole time and doing a gen 3 or 4 small block chevy LS.

[@OctaneStreet]

I really appreciate a video like this from you Brent. I definitely expected a reliable 800+ RWHP 3v to run you $50k, it makes sense to be honest especially after you listed off some of the major components and their costs. You hit the nail on the head with the styling of these early S197s. I feel like people either hate them or love them to death. I absolutely love this body style, which is why I had planned to Coyote swap mine someday. Honestly though, after hearing that it'll take ~$13k or so to have a reliable 500rwhp 3v I might opt to do that instead down the road. Thank you for all the insight in this video, for keeping it real, and for all the amazing builds you bring us and your customers.

Excellent video with a lot of really good points being made.

[@donnatalielucasheimbigner7598]

Nice car! Insane amount of torque from a mod engine. Also, like you said, it has a cool factor of 1million. I agree with all that you stated. In high school in the early 80's I had a 68 F100 that had what I will call a hodge podge 352 that my dad bought from the local Chevy dealership for $200 in 1971 because they couldn't get it running after they put it together with all sorts of various FE parts from all over the map. It took Dad & a great mechanic friend of his about 6 months & a couple calls to ford Tech to get running. Dad gave me the pickup when I was still in junior high when he was offered $500 for it on trade for a newer pickup. I learned the value of having money left in your pocket after buying awesome parts when I completely smoked the clutches in my Tru Trac diff about a year after I put it & a set of Mark Williams axles in the rear to stop the carnage of diff gears & razor-sharp axle splines brought about after doing a bunch of work to the 352& installation of 3.89 gears. I had to save money for nearly a year to replace the carrier assembly with a Detroit Locker unit, which then led to needing a Strange 3rd member when I broke the back pinion bearing housing completely off. Once you start producing HUGE torque numbers, you will need to replace everything from the flywheel back & need to have the budget for the oh crud factor.

Interesting video. My first Mustang was a 2017 GT S550. Installed a Kenne Bell supercharger myself. Paid a shop to do the oil pump and timing gear upgrades. Also had them do the suspension upgrades.Long story short. Dyno results were 583 RWHP and 477 LB FT of torque. Swapped out the supercharger pulley with the next size smaller which increased the boost too 12lbs from the base of 10.4lbs. Never had it run on the dyno with that upgrade. That power was nice with the exception it would break the tires loose @ 60mph. Hooking from a dig wasn't happening. Sold the car because it just wasn't pleasant to drive. Fun at first but got old. Had the car for two years and only put 1200 miles on it. Bought a 2006 GT Premium a little over a year ago. Mostly stock. Has a Bama tune and some exhaust upgrades. Looks good. Sounds great. Far from a race car but an excellent cruiser. Basically got burnt out dumping thousands of dollars into a car. There was more than one. Speed costs. How fast do you want too go?

By the way this is their 50th Anniversary, so those guys know a little about making reliable hp also.. I'm not sure what you consider 'big power' or 'lower power' , but I think most people would agree that 815 rwhp on a 3V is pretty respectable.

Thanks for this man, I got a 2v bullitt been wanting to build the whole motor and throw a blower on it. It cost about the same to buy a coyote motor and drop it in the car. So after stressing I came across your video, and I guess you either get cheap and reliable which would be staying stock or fast and cheap which won’t last long, or fast and reliable which is expensive. I guess I’ll be keeping her stock or maybe maxing it out to what it can handle without building it.

Bro you can twin turbo these in your driveway on a weekend. If you know how weld and you can turn wrenches. You can twin turbo these for under a $1000. Especially if you know how to shop at junkyards. You can get lancer evolution turbos all day for under $200 intercooler and all. If you don't know how to turn wrenches i wouldn't even bother. Go buy something better that's already powerful. But if you know basic mechanics you can do it all yourself for really cheap. If you really want to cut corners nothing is quicker and easier than throwing a 200 shot of nitrous at it. Cooler spark plugs, upgrade the fuel system and tune.

[@AbdullahZahid]

@@KyrieEleisonMaranatha it's not about the install a few buddies and I can probably make it happen. Parts are hard to find where I am. Every junk yards that gets something good has it gone the next day. Plus closest junk yard from me thats worth going to is about a 45 minute drive. Also it's about doing all that and the motor pops, but you make a good point about the nos.

[@midnight347]

When you lay it out like that it's easy to see why more people don't do this. I mean 700-800 rwhp reliably costs like 3 or 4 times more than having a reliable 500 rwhp. This is what I love about the early gt500s. You still got the same body style only better (the gt500 body style looks better imo) and you got a stouter trans and a much stouter engine that is already supercharged from the factory so a blower swap and minor fueling upgrades can put you at 700-800 rwhp prob cheaper than these cars get to 500 rwhp. They do cost more up front but if you find one that is nice but not mint with a few miles you can really get alot of bang for the buck. I got my 07 for 16 grand which is mind blowing considering what you can do with the platform for little money. People want 16 grand for 3vs lol. I'm gonna spend about 6-7 grand this year upgrading to a gen3r and injectors, boost a pumps, 1 piece ds and make 750 rwhp on stock headers with 93 and boostane. Car already had a twin disc clutch and mgw shifter, already has the jlt 123 cold air I can re use with the tvs, already has a full exhaust minus long tubes (doing those later) so I'm 6-7 grand away from being where I wanna be for now power wise (750). Down the road I am going to go built motor, cams and longtubes for probably around the same 6-7 grand all in for everything and when you consider what I gave for the car I won't even have 30 grand in it after it is all said and done with the gen3r and built motor lol. I freaking love the 07-09 gt500s they're so cool and don't get near enough love. It's like a 3v on steroids lol

Now I’m about to be 23 I still have the 3v but never really drove it for almost 3 years it still has problems and the front end is still damaged but I just couldn’t never sell it . Now I got the funds and I’m slowly fixing the problems. I’m about to take it to a shop to get the front end fixed I’m can’t wait to get up back and running. My first v8 I just couldn’t let it go . I got the car without even knowing how to drive a manual but I taught myself in the 3v . One question tho the engine has 180k miles in it do I replace it the engine rebuild it or leave it like that cause I do want to add a stroker cause eventually I want to procharge it . What y’all think?

[@BrenspeedEngineering]

Well since you have another car and sounds like you will keep the 3V forever work towards a built engine. That way you can go boost and even bigger boost later.

Great information. If you’re going to do it do it fast! The supercharge I bought 4 years ago is now $2k more! Plus everyone who is not a good wrencher needs “a guy”. The moonlighting or retired mechanic. My guy is retired, had my car over a week. $1700 installed. He knew a guy. Dyno was $225.

I'm not a big 3 valve fan but respect them when built up like you are talking about but it takes big money to play in the 3 valve scene lol.. I'm a big foxbody guy and have owned over 22 of them etc. I also own a 18 F1FIDDY v8 4x4 rcsb lowered on a bell Tech pro kit 3/5 drop on KMC PRISM'S 20X9'S etc and love the power of the coyote especially the 10 speed auto. Keeps pulling and pulling on the interstate lol. Rock on Brent your A1 top notch in my book 🤔🚗💨💯💪🌮👊🆘🇺🇸🏁MURICA

Man this video makes me miss my 3V mustang. The thing I loved the most about that car, aside from looks, was how easy it was to work on. I installed LT headers with ORH in a day. I installed Ford Racing hot rod cams in an afternoon. I installed a Nitrous plate kit in less than a day. Tune uploaded in less than 5 minutes. I'm driving a C5 corvette now and there is no way I could install a cam in an afternoon. It is waaaaaay more complicated. I've been seriously thinking about going back to either a 2005-2009 3V or 2013 to 2014 4V Mustang. Not a big fan of the S550 looks.

[@BrenspeedEngineering]

The 427R models and GT500 models are really the only 2005-09 cars that I like. I think Saleen just didn’t hit the mark on this generation, but I adore all previous and prior Saleens.

My first car was a 90 gt and The fox has always been my favorite car until 2005 came around and it took me a while to get me one as I just got my first 3v February of this year I coulda got a coyote but I wanted the 05-09 body and personally I love the sound of the 3v and like being the bastard child underdog. I’ve already put more money into my car than I originally paid for it and it’s just now around 500rwhp on the nitrous. And I plan on getting a lot more out of it. Want to build a motor that can hold up to 1000rwhp but just keep it around 600-800rwhp still street drive able. Trying to find a shortblock now to start building so I can keep driving the car as is till I get another block built and when it’s done drop it in with some boost. Right now it’s got a factory 5 speed factory rear end just with Ford racing 4.10 gears. But I’d really like to put one of them new 10 speed autos in it. I’m not a dummy and I realize this is going to cost way more than just buying a 11+ gt with some boost but like I said I love this body style and love their faces when I say it’s just a 3v. As it sits literally has every bolt on plus cams gears and nitrous with a bunch of suspension parts I beat a lot of coyotes, new camaros, and them mopars. I can take that $500+ I would be paying on a car note each month and put towards the build. Hopefully by next year this time it’ll have a built motor and some sort of boost. Still haven’t decided on turbo or supercharger. I have always wanted a roots/twin screw style blower which I’m really leaning towards even though I’m sure a centrifugal or turbo would probably make more power. I’m not really worried about making tons of power as the car sits it runs 12.8 @ 113mph on motor that was before the cams long tubes and Ford racing manifold not sure what it’ll run now and 11.9 @ 121mph on the nitrous again that was before the other upgrades and with a crappy 2.2 60ft. I’d like to squeeze a mid 11 second pass out of it the way it sits and then with the new setup have it road worthy but still go 10’s at the track.

[@waltermacknight9299]

Great video!!!! This day and age everyone looks at horsepower numbers and sticks their nose up in the air. In reality in a 3600lb car even less with weigh reduction "3v mustang" making 480-500ish wheel horse, dialed in with suspension and driver is more than capable with a 1.6-1.7 60ft to run high 10s at about 125ish. That is still pretty stout.

[@DrBeef216]

If you were to listen to a bonehead like Alex Flores, the 3valves are essentially worthless, and cars with 500-550 wheel horsepower are literally laughable - as he laughed at someone who asked him for advice on building to that level, probably because his chubby ass couldn't figure out how to build a car into the 10s without 300 extra wheel horsepower helping the cause.

[@waltermacknight9299]

@@DrBeef216 yeah although I do somewhat like alex he is a coyote nut hugger and talks sooo much shit about 3vs, 2vs and even terminators! If you are a really mustang fan you respect them all!

[@DrBeef216]

@@waltermacknight9299 He sat in SN95 and even admitted he was clueless about what they even came with. His whole thing is boosting the hell out of a car and making some extreme number of power. And if it doesn't, it's worthless. He said anyone who does a N/A build is an idiot because a boosted car will be quicker for less. Nevermind that some people don't like boosting a car, don't want to destroy their trans, don't want 6mpg or an uncontrollable monster for a street car, etc. I like how non-pc he is, but he frankly is very closed-minded and convinced of his own ideas being the end-all in the car industry. The worst part is he's not alone. Particularly in the tuner scene, which is where he came from, it's their way or the highway.

speaking to my to my soul buddy! I have 30k already in mine and I am fine with it. Anybody can go buy a coyote at the dealer and see five just like it before you get 2 miles down the road! I still need you to finish it off for me. See you in a few months.

I have two 3V motors. Do you guys still offer stroker kits? I’d like to keep it NA and don’t really want to get into complete swaps. Plus I have a bunch of parts already for the 3V motor.

There’s something very cool about building an underdog model to spank the expected big dog. It’s the epitome of American Hotrodding #MustangTown

So how much if any savings doing a coyote engine swap? Could always recover some selling off the 3v engine.

[@drieey]

The thing he left out is, you have to do the same for a S550 to make them reliable when you go to 800rwhp. Those coyote mustangs making all that quick cheap horsepower aren't reliable. You have to do all of those upgrades on almost any car when you double/triple the horse power!
