Day 1: Introducing El Toro! 8 Second Turbo Coyote Swapped Fox Body Build in just 8 Days!

We thought it was time for a challenge, and we also needed to add a Coyote powered car to our stable. So we decided we wanted to build a brand new car from a bare shell and take it down to FL2K to compete.
This build is going to show us our next 12 months of parts needed as we encounter trials and tribulations in the build. It will also display the innovation, creativeness and skill within Motion Raceworks.
Wish us luck on our 8 second quest.

[@mikegager]

coyotes look like a pain in the ass to work on

[@JT-th5lp]

For me would have liked to see more on the cam lock out and motor work. I like the nerd side of things. Good luck on the build fun and stressful have some bush on stand by.

[@mikescherrer4923]

Bush or Busch? I mean, I guess why not both.

[@RustyWells2]

Man Motion is the hottest drag racing parts company in the country right now and they have the hottest youtube channel in the industry funny how that works! Keep killing it guys don't take your foot of the gas!

[@chrisyanez2299]

I can’t hit the like button anymore ... it’s already blue ..... looking good Doug . Can’t wait to see it in person when I get to start on my own truck ... Ya won’t even have to ship me parts I’ll just drive over from Ames and pick them up myself !!!!

[@JeffPedlow]

Excellent! I look forward to a a grand marquis project being next. Lets get wally down to the low 11s.... maybe even 10's...

Harbor freight tool cart for the win :-). I always look at tool carts in vids now that I bought one for work. Not that many HF show up but some do :-). $1250 vs $239 :-).

[@MrAnviljenkins]

Could not read the logo FWIW so no issues, recognized from other attributes :-).

Are you guys hiring? I don’t have any actual skills that would be of much use to you, but I’m a snappy dresser and would love to work someplace that cool! 😂😂

[@markoliver7951]

You guys have your shipping on point for sure I've made 2 purchases from you in the last 2 months and from the phone call to order and pay for the order to reciveing my order in Australia was 6 days both times great job. And also so happy with everything I ordered aswell I can't wait to finish the car and bring it over for drag week hopefully in 2022

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Heck yes!!!

[@adamwinters4448]

I like this project. Im kinda doing the same just with a l.s and whatever parts i have floating around

[@choochoothelilsavage9573]

I would love to build my fox body Cougar with the sponsorship of the badass boys from Motion Race Works! Maybe? I Don't know...

I do hide my kid's Christmas gifts in my fox body. Works great!

Hahaha I do the same

[@turbomach1]

Buzz, your subframe connectors... WOOF!

[@rm33321]

You guys are great... great product building a s197 have a 5.3 4l60 thinking about swapping but bolt on camed 3v in runs great just cant make the power on a budget like a ls can ... plus scared to death to spray it vs spraying a ls hahahah

[@kaleblevi44]

Y’all should build and sell that aluminum fire wall bulkhead for foxbodys!

[@jcnpresser]

Hey chad, ya outta get em to let you run this car next rmrw or drag week! I think you’ve graduated from Wally.

[@danielbrown7077]

i got my ls1 billet valve covers shipped to a remote part of Australia and on my door step in 3 days. shipping is the fastest i have ever seen

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Awesome! How do you like em?!

[@danielbrown7077]

@@MotionRaceworksOfficial they look awesome and fit perfectly on my single turbo Ls1 commodore. the fact that i can mount the coils higher than stock and i have now put them back on the engine and not have to remote mount the coils to stop cooking the plug wires. very happy thanks

[@notchboi]

Will you guys be posting up a parts number list? Thanks in advance

[@Harold_That_Guy]

I say once you get it figured out in that chassis pull everything back out and drop it into an old Maverick. I think it would be a much cooler car.

[@shanetomlinson561]

If anyone can build an 8 second car in 8 days, it's y'all.

Thanks brother 🤘🏼

Hey Doug. Think you could get the goof ball to make me some block off plates for mine? Lol

[@justkidding3529]

👍🏻

[@jayvog1601]

Should do a breakdown on expense, retail prices...

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Definitely! We will put a list together after

[@micahbuchheit1283]

excellent idea !!

[@adriane7841]

Real retail price or the significant other retail price lol

[@Superior_Autos_Motorcycles]

They could have named this series How to build a race car for Lottery Winners….

[@RustyWells2]

You might have problems with back pressure on that turbo. Make sure you get the 91mm AR and you will be fine.

[@karlosmuschek]

Fuckin send it boys 🔥🔥💯👌

[@danmyers9372]

When you installed the block off plate for the trunk area I thought hm, won’t the cage bars have to go through there? Then at 14:50, removing the plate...

[@boostedperformance4529]

Do you have a part number for that fuel cell?

[@thisismossop]

Wow, than tank alone retails for $2100, that's more than the car's worth, surely? I fully appreciate how simple it is, guess that's what you pay for. I'm not from the US, but what would a basic tank, filters and pump cost? (Just for the less fortunate among us) 😁

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

It’s actually pretty comparable to the sum of the parts plus it saves time and simplicity

[@davidreed6070]

Would you mind sharing the width and length of the fuel cell

[@liveepically]

An 8 second Wally would have been way more epic.

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

You act like that might not happen ;) stay tuned

Finally!!! A Ford powered Ford for a change!!! I was considering building a Coyote stock foxbody to run NMRA several years ago.. I wish I had and still want to in the future!!

[@Very_Angry_Citizen]

A flat plane Coyote is the best sounding engine in the world. Just my 2 cent opinion. Btw, you fuckers rock!

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Thank you!

[@fonhollohan2908]

Derak sent me over here so I might as well check it out. I already watched the race you all did all just fine.

[@D3thM3tal]

You'll need to get Cleeter a monster Coyote in his fleet, the 427 everything is getting a bit.... common.

[@keithjackson2462]

Ol cleeters neighbor crown vic is a gt500 powered monster.

[@Trialnerror]

Man I was ready to order that tank until I saw the price on it. Super clean and nice but over $2,000 is a bit too painful for my broke ass channel lol.

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

If you add up the components it’s actually a very fair deal. Pre filter, pump, tank, fittings, etc

[@Trialnerror]

@WOLF LOL, that would be nice! No worries though. I love Motion and will be buying a lot of parts from them once I get past my current chassis work.

[@mattbrobston6832]

Who's manual master cylinder conversion and roll cage did you guys use?

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

It’s our own in-house master cylinder kit with a Tbm master to match the Tbm brakes. And Midwest Chassis cage

[@FlinkmanRacing]

Yall need to just sell those firewalls.

[@scottrussell2281]

Where is the car lift in this equation? I'm old these days. Gotta have a lift!

[@johnparrotte9352]

Which Haltech system are you going to run?

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

The 2500 elite

[@pknlpr]

Would have been faster with a LS. Just saying, and think Cletus would agree.

[@lewciferistic]

How much would all the things done to this car cost all in all?

[@larryhampton9069]

Are you thinking, kit form? Like, I have a 4 cyl Fox coupe rolling chassis that I want to build a 8 sec. Turbo Coyote out of? Maybe break it down to system groups that way a guy can have $3k-$4k (example) and buy the fuel system and suspension portion, then the cage, trunk block off, subframe connectors next, then the stuff for the parts yard 5.0 then a turbo kit?

[@lewciferistic]

@@larryhampton9069 you're much more knowledgeable about cars then I am my brother. I have a 92 mint fox sitting around "stock" 46k miles with a few here's and there's, headers, bunch of billet accessories etc (that I didn't do) and I was kinda wondering off the top what kinda rough estimate would it be to make it anything in the 800hp range that require a full engine... Everything in the train swap. Was more of a inquiry then anything,like off the top of the head. I know there's many more details them to type on youtube but I was like ehhh why not ask.

[@donneezyracing5756]

Any chance of making rear mustang bulkheads for sale?

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

We might, the hard thing is shipping

[@jar895]

Maybe a template?

[@mattwhalley7055]

Are they massive chassis connectors underneath?

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Yeah, it’s the worst part about the car but we didn’t have time to change them

[@mattwhalley7055]

Motion Raceworks Official excited for the series! from Australia 🇦🇺

[@ziptiejedi5658]

Is the Overhaulin of this fox body going to have a budget of 8 thousand bucks. Overhauling and Sloppy mechanics combined. It could be 8's for 8k in 8 days. Sounds like its going to be a badass little fox body.

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Definitely not a strict budget on this one. We are littering it with ingredients we know that will achieve our goal if we can get the work done.

[@ziptiejedi5658]

@@MotionRaceworksOfficial I didnt 8k was very realistic especially using the coyote. Hopefully everything goes smooth and you guys hit your goal. Can't wait to see it get finished

[@davefroman4700]

I thought the Haltech has support for the VVT in the Coyote's?

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

I think it may, but we wanted to take out a variable

[@mjhurley1987]
