Problems With A Coyote Swap Foxbody No one Talks About

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

Another issue I forgot to mention is front sway bar bracket placement. If you don't put the correct spacers and end links on it you can have problems with your coyote swap. The wrong size end links can have your sway bar actually rub against the hardliners connected to the rack and pinion. You can also mess up you steering geometry if you don't put the correct spacer on. If you have done a coyote swap what issue have you came across other than the motor? Leave it in the comments below!

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

A quick answer on what sway bar bracket you need is sway bar brackets from a 96-2004 mustang gt and end links. USE YOUR FOX SWAY BAR just use new edge end links and brackets and your good!

Where to tap coolant tensor? Answer: waterneck on top that is sold by pbh. However, the install spot is hard to get to so you have to remove your manifold.. :/

I've got a 90 coupe..gen 2 6r80 f150 motor with a loki tvs and before i even thought about a motor i went ahead and did 31 spline axles..sub frames..rear upper and lowers with the bmr upper enforcement thingy that ties the two sides together..all disc brakes all 4 ..i do have a manual brake set up and I'll be switching that to a hydro boost.. before i had the coyote it had a built 408w and i did the manual brakes cause of the cam vacuum.. yeah with these coyote swaps in fox chassis you definitely want the foundation strong.. but my end goal is 650 675 wheel so I'm not doing the thru the floor stuff.. no cage cause it's a street car/8th mile car..😅

Gotta find those 4 cylinder shells the 5.0s are ALWAYS beat to shit. Especially after 30 plus years😂 sweet cars man

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

Thats a fact! Thanks for stopping by the video

[@rotorr22]

That's why I went after a gently used 5.0 Thunderbird.

[@champking20]

Then you paying $30 for insurance since its classified as the 4 cyl engine lol

It's hot 😂

Man, great work. I have an 86 SVO that I want to coyote swap. Just not 100 percent sure what exactly I need for k member, brakes....etc

Check out my ride on my channel, you think it’s a good candidate for a coyote swap?

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

Yea looks good!

[@dewaynehall7104]

I own a 1990 lx 5.0 and a 2011 5.0 i want to keep my foxbody old school sbf but daily driving my 11 5.0 everyday i can't help but wonder what a coyote would feel like in my foxbody 🤔

[@MrCaribe65]

Have you looked into Team Z's mini tub kit? Get some meat under that rear, so you can put the power down. I think you can do that one on your own. You obviously have the skills. Amazing stuff my man. Simply amazing. 👍🏽😉

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

I will check it out! Thanks bro!

[@damonrice8469]

Nice work brother, im working in my notch back.its not coyote swap. But i wish i had another stang to do one in. Keep doing great content.

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

Thanks

[@AADmrstangerbanger]

Forgot header heat soak, Bad grounds for battery and motor are the also huge problems with lots of em once people finish em

[@carloschaqui8234]

Love seeing these Coyote swaps. I just can’t see myself spending 20-30K on a full / complete build.

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

There is ways to do it for a lot less and I will be uploading videos to cover that. Thanks for stopping by the video

[@demikpre]

I don't think it usually starts that way. You just wake up and the whole car is apart in your yard. At that point you have a decision to make, your already maybe 6k into the car.

[@rattletrapfox1001]

You’re gonna spend close to that with any engine modification. If you rebuild your block or upgrade all your supporting cast will be over $10k. I went this direction per reliability. I was tired of chasing electrical/tuning issues.

[@romero.4089]

Same here that’s why I may as go ls

[@DirtySlapper99]

Love seeing a ford in a ford ls fox bodies piss me off we are getting a lot on the track here in Australia

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

yea I always prefer a ford motor in a ford chassis

[@mrprfct7069]

If you can’t afford to do it all then don’t do it at all. People spend $15k in engine but don’t want to spend $1k on brakes.

Man, I would LOVE a Foxbody Coyote! My dream car! I wish I could have one. Owned a GT and Notch years ago. Sold to pay for wedding. Wife said "You DOOOO love me!!!!" Yeah bish, I do. 😒 How much to build me one bro, with only new and upgraded parts where they're truly needed, the rest with junk yard parts? Like if I were to find a roller? Idk bro, I just would love to have one.

[@christopherrainey5435]

"Yeah bish I do" lmfao!

[@dondo84svo]

love what you're doing brother! im currently swapping a 2015 2.3 ecoboost engine into a 1984 mustang SVO

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

That sounds like a fun setup. What kind of transmission are you running behind it?

[@dondo84svo]

I'm running a MT-82 trans with a MGW shifter

Please don’t paint that car! I love it! Those chrome door handles:)

[@00GrnGT]

have you considered using a set of 18 ATS 4piston brembo front brakes?

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

Ive heard of that mod. The cobra brakes work well enough for me tho

[@troymcgee7317]

looks damn good brother but i'm gonna keep my old school 89 5.0 pushrod till it blows up then i'll put a 351w in it. but loved your video brother

[@christopherrainey5435]

Hey Troy Mcgee! I'm with you brother! 351w stroked out with bolt ons.

[@osu3221]

And here on my swaps the problem was beefing up the driveshaft. Well it is the aluminator.

Aluminum driveshaft doesnt work?

Do you take on builds outside of your own? Looking at starting a coyote swap with a Gen1

Yes sir. Hit me up on Instagram or email me

[@mikeroberts3660]

I have an 89 2.3 notch that I'm starting on . It sat for about 5 years . It looks like you have done many of these . I was going to do a 351 w but I'm wanting to a coyote now . what area of the car should I start on first ? I was thinking ground up all suspension but there are several different brands and styles . should I use stock k member with bolt in mounts , k member ( brand ) coil overs ? whos is best for new sn95 spindles / brakes ?

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

I would upgrade the rear axle and all suspension. I like the aje kmember

Really need to cherry those cars out and would be awesome 👌

Amen, i love Foxs but im looking at the s197 chassis for a coyote build now that the wiring harness is being offered.

Thats a good way to go!

[@kzfive]

The power to weight ratio in the Foxbody Mustangs are way off even with the original pushrod engines. I can only imagine what it's like with the Coyote engine

[@rocknchopautoshop8583]

Yea man its tough to get traction in these cars with regular street tires. You at least need drag radials to get them to hook up!

Does the edlebrock blower require a cowl hood?

You can get it under a stock hood if you space the kmember down
