Not sure if it can be adapted but it seems the new F150 coyotes have ditched the gerotor a pump driven off the belt. Not sure why they didn't use a chain like the 7.3L. Belt longevity aside could this be better than billet pumps for high power builds? Sorry if this has been discussed on the...
Haven't been checking the forums lately but I made a thread about the car when it first got into the 8's. Anybody know what this car weighs? It been 2 years and I still have no idea lol
I have heard the 6.2 and the 7.3 have the same crankshaft dimensions, though I can't confirm. If true, a 7.3 crank in a 6.2 would give right at a 6.6-6.7L. Aluminum block with spray bores and 6.8L seems possible. I wouldn't even mind a 7.3 pushrod with a smaller bore, but if, and only if, Ford...
Impressive. Does anyone have an idea what the upper hp limit is for the stock GT500 motor yet? Has anyone seen the rods and pistons that are in the motor?
I started a thread about stick shift cars and it got some decent posts, but there are just so many more auto cars and they are running so fast thats mostly all you see.

There has been a bit of resurgence...
Balancer maybe? Perhaps a flawed crank? Some people just seem to break everything whiles others dont. Who knows. There is an entire thread about snapped crank snouts though. I definitely wouldnt say its the norm.
Mihovetz said he never has seen a stock cobra crank break. He ran 6.0s with a stock crank making close to 3000hp. The coyote crank is supposedly equal. The snouts are the main weak link if you hang a huge blower on them.
So impressive. I wonder if he can get into the 7s on stock motor. This and everything else i have seen reinforces my suspicion that the 2018+ coyote block is somewhat stronger in the bores. Anybody know how much this car weighs?
I have a set of Boss 302 rods and they are definitely in the 61Xish gram range. Usually 612g-618g. Right in the same ball park as the 2002 and later 4.6 common rods. I haven't weighed a set of Gen 1 coyotes but they are supposedly around 575g which is suppose to be close to early non cobra 4.6...
Congrats. Are you you guys sleeving the blocks at this power level? I hadn't heard much about 18+ blocks cracking but wasn't sure if anyone had pushed the upper limits.
The only thing I would add to the list is money for a built motor. 900whp with a blower on a stock motor is rolling the dice even with oil pump gears and crank sprocket. Not saying it can't last or that some people haven't had good luck with longevity but it is risky.
Turbos do make more power, but that is an apples to oranges comparison. Different compression, different head flow, different motors, different transmissions.
I think 2 reasons why superchargers are big in the Mustang world is that they come on factory hipo Fords like the Terminator, GT500, Lightning, etc and the fact that OHC V8 motors are just huge. Its a real PITA to get down in there. GMs didn't really come with much forced induction a decade ago...
Anybody have any pictures showing where the predator block in improved? Without seeing where the predator is improved I would opt for the Gen 3 block simply to have a smaller bore. All things equal that will be stronger. I wonder how much of the strength improvement over the Gen 1 and 2 blocks...
If its really wrecked don't accept it. I have heard of people concocting such stories to make buyers pull out of an agreement when someone else offers to pay more. Not just on cars.
You didn't mention your skill level. Can you weld? Can you turn a wrench? If you are a DIYer this is obtainable, otherwise, not at all. The cheapest way is probably the same as any other ultra low budget build. Flipped manifolds (can coyote manifolds even be flipped?) with EBay turbos. Wanna get...
