I’ve made arrangements with Enterprise for a econobox rental, and I’m going to the body shop tomorrow to let them know that we can schedule for the 30th. They’ll have the car for two weeks, minimum.
As it happens, October is the one year anniversary of the accident in Seattle.
I’m also making plans to see if I can’t have the vinyl guy come out once the car is done, to apply the blackout strip.
Another step closer to the Excelsior.
I wonder if Zoidberg is willing to let me use his driveway to wash and wax my car, since using a power washer at the brown bear is a bad idea on a new clear coat...?

Booya! Is a coyote swap in the cards? I've probably asked this before, but can't recall.

When I get a house with a garage and a second car as my backup daily, yes. Plan is to rig it with a six speed transmission that’s hydraulically actuated. Or a straight manual, undecided on this point, because a manual means needing to redesign my custom center console to make room for the stock.
Or possibly the 10 speed automatic from Ford. Look up the Silver Bullet project.

Ten speed for that car so well in my opinion. A gen 3 coyote with basic work would be over 500hp.
Ona separate note, it’s weird for me to go over hp for car categories by decade. 500hp? That’d crush amgs of the early oughts.

I’m fine with the bone stock 460hp of the Gen 3 Coyote. It’s the transmission that will require the most work.
And No, categorizing by HP isn’t necessarily strange. 450hp was racer horsepower in the 90s, when the Panther platform was beginning to mature.

Not odd for doing it, just odd in how fast it advances. On the Gen 3, you're already doing exhaust and intake and tuning it for that. That's over 500.

Another thing, I've been monitoring mass air available and even though it is nearly ten degrees cooler tonight over last night, I have 2% less horsepower available because of humidity.

I'm more likely to cannibalize all the parts I need, exhaust and intake included, off of a wrecked Mustang. So it would be more or less tuned like a Mustang.

Right, but exhaust routing never works like that and intake is way more flexible than the mustang's engine compartment. You have options either way with a swap, might as well go for more. Is the f150 much different than the mustang engine wise?

Not too different, but the F150 is built for utility. Here’s a comparison for the first generation.

Going by this, I would definitely want certain features of both types, especially the front mounted oil cooler, which my CVPI 4.6L is equipped with. The cam profile for more low end torque is another I'd want, for more usability.

Is it similar for teh gen 3?

It should be, though Ford developed a new large block engine for the heavier F series.
Regardless, the goal is to have more low end torque comparable to my CVPI’s factory profile. It's going to require some serious engine wizardry.
