Building a 1000HP Coyote on a Budget - Gen 3 Short Block in a Gen 1 Coyote

[@triston2735]

WARNING! Do not use apex headstuds! They will fail!! Multiple failures reported even on N/A engines. Please only use ARP

[@redstang70]

Just watched the video where the motor let go a head on the dyno..looks like you are correct.

[@triston2735]

@@redstang70 Yep I have experience with the apex headstuds failing. Someone actually sent me the fail video knowing it was probably the headstuds

[@damienwilliams9183]

I never heard of anyone using anything but ARP. Sheeesh

[@badboosted89]

Any 12mm stud that torques to 65ft lbs is garbage. I wish people could understand torque yield to stop giving these companies money. They stock bolts would hold up better

[@Toaster_Actual]

It’s was probably a sponsor because there is no way they would use them other wise. It also why they explained how easy they are to torque them.

[@dugganracecraft]

So a fun fact about parts numbers, the numbers you referred to about the cams is called the “base part number” which is the same for all V oriented engines that have 4 cams. The 4 numbers and letters at the beginning are the model of vehicle/trim it was intended for and the letters at the end are the revision of the part. I didn’t know that until recently lol

El chopo is gone. Can’t wait to see the replacement. Love all your content Andrew.

This is exactly what I need. Thanks very much again for the great info

What is the difference between the 2 valve block from the 4 valve? Are the heads interchangeable?

You guys are back to the grind, a ton of stuff going on. This looks like a awesome build for the Terminator Cobra, are you going back with a performance built 6R80 trans? Can't wait for the Fox and the Cobra to hit the streets.

[@rustywater3219]

Do coyotes have the same issue with removing the drivers valve cover like gt500 owners have?

So 6r80 fits with out any modification?

Been watching your channel for a little over 2 years now. Third time watching this video already and love what you do to the mustangs. On my second s197 full bolt on build and I need this set up in 2012 coyote, in need of a gen 3 block in SC area. Any chance on getting y’all to do my 3-1-1 build 😅

[@kavonroberts4724]

Why do you chose gen 1 parts over gen 3 im building a gen 3 for my thunderbird lx im just wondering why you prefer gen 1 parts

[@jessiefarough6508]

What did you do for wiring harness since it’s a gen 3 block with gen 1 heads-I’ve been readingrg everywhere you cant use a terminator x or any gen1/2 control packs on a gen 3 motor…..is it a matter of putting gen 1 heads on to use those control packs? Could be a straight up gen 3 control pack I suppose from ford….or maybe you used a donor with an aftermarket ecu and converted your donor harness into a diy standalone? Just trying to find out since I picked up a gen 3 block I’m swapping into my sn95 body style and would love to avoid spending 2500-3000 on a control pack

[@luislugo4951]

I have a RXT 1200whp clutch for 2011-2017 can I use it with the gen 3 block ? Thanks

Can anyone explain what exactly is needed for a 3-1-1 build for a first gen 2012 coyote mustang

[@wile.emario8957]

Starting from a bare block, what sebsors do i need to pick up? Also the gen3 has 2 different kinds of injection, if i went gen 3 block with gen2 heads and intake do i need to have both kinds of injection or can i eliminate the Direct Injection and just stick with the port injection. I wanna start building but wanna get more information before i start. Wanna swap my SN95.

[@IG-DM.5.0]

The direct injection is in the heads. Meaning since you have gen 2 heads you don’t have to deal with direct injection

[@ericanderson3308]

What do i need to swap a 2019 f150 coyote in my 2014 ? Can you do gen 3 long block with gen 1 timing ?

how hard is it to install the cams correctly?

[@1BAD14GT-1BADAT4X]

Ive got the same setup 3.1.1. Was wondering if you calculated what compression would be using gen1 heads on gen3 block. I know gen3 says 12:1 but since gen1 heads have a different volume was wondering what it may be??

Were you able to get an answer on the ge3 and gen 1 heads compression ratio? I'm curious about it as well 🤔

I think they should’ve had the heads surfaced, but I know takes for ever now, but I didn’t on my gt500 5.4 and I had the tiniest leak in high boost after a few k miles… but Andrew definitely knows what he’s doing

[@joshwayne371]

Did you use Gen 1, 2, or 3 timing components? Thanks and love the channel! Yall are super informative!

[@ryanfreeman5987]

Quick question…I’m sure I already know this answer however would you ever suggest putting a 1000hp in a coyote without a return style fuel system? Several people trying to convince me a fuel system isn’t needed lol.

[@MustangLifestyleTV]

I don't understand your question... If you are swapping a Coyote into something with a Coyote control pack you need a return fuel system to ensure you have 55 psi of rail pressure and for it to run properly.

[@ryanfreeman5987]

@@MustangLifestyleTV sorry I was not clear. S550 friend of mine was saying that you can have a 1000hp coyote and do not have to install a return style fuel system. I’m saying it’s a need to produce that much hp. Hope that helps.
