I have zero mods on my 19 GT as of writing this. I’m not sure what they check via the OBD2 plug, but, yes, that’s all they do beyond checking all the lights, wipers (that the motor works), and eyeballing the tires.I'd say yes, they still only do OBD2 plug in right? Worst case scenario you can flash a shitty tune and drive on it for a week. If you're doing catless headers you should have your own tuner. I'm sure there's "emmisions tunes" for most normal setups.
Hopefully people here are still modding their car the way they want, and not because of what other people might think of it...Think about this. How much crap are you going to take by putting an A10 in a GT350? A bet a whole bunch. Now put a Voodoo in a GT. Bet most people will think it’s pretty cool.
Yes, of course, but in this hobby what others think is also very important. Check the number of threads about wanting to get people's opinions. There are mods that many of us would consider to be sacrilegious. Putting an automatic transmission into a Shelby GT350 would be one of them. On the other hand a Voodoo in a regular S550 would not. Just MHO.Hopefully people here are still modding their car the way they want, and not because of what other people might think of it...
Hmmm . I have a “spare”voodoo” I just rebuilt- swapped the rods and some minor head work - valve springs /head studs and building another one ... can’t have too many spares .Yes, of course, but in this hobby what others think is also very important.

I hear ya but it’d be a cold day in hell before I did something to my car that wasn’t for me, onlyYes, of course, but in this hobby what others think is also very important.

Am type of ETA ?US shift is still plan I g on introducing a controller to put an A10 in your vehicle of choice. Been in touch with them every step of the way.
Not seeing that as being a significant problem at all. Should be able to rewire the Voodoo's injectors and spark plugs to suit the Coyote's ECU. The ECU doesn't care where those things are physically located.As you know due to the different firing order of the Voodoo , a coyote ECU won’t work .
That's more a matter of personality than anything specific to the car hobby. Perhaps when approval by the herd takes on too much importance and individual thoughts and one's own opinions not enough.Yes, of course, but in this hobby what others think is also very important.

As an opinion for an individual to hold, that's fine. For it to be held up as an absolute universal truth that everybody has to hold as their own, no.There are mods that many of us would consider to be sacrilegious.

Is that what happens when a cross plane motor is swapped in to a GT 350 ?Not seeing that as being a significant problem at all. Should be able to rewire the Voodoo's injectors and spark plugs to suit the Coyote's ECU. The ECU doesn't care where those things are physically located.
Dealing with knock sensing might be a whole 'nother story, though.

I wasn't aware that CPC engines had been swapped into GT350s but yes, that's what would have to be done. Injector and ignition timing has to follow what the engine mechanically requires.Is that what happens when a cross plane motor is swapped in to a GT 350 ?
I was told the ECU had to be “repinned” .
Most probably wouldn't, unless they've either been given an in-depth explanation of the differences or had enough curiosity to find out for themselves. Stuff done per the factory shop manual, they're going to be OK about (at least the A-level techs). Stuff on a more theoretical level like this, not so much.I had considered doing that when my Voodoo went down and had a 5.2 Cross plane motor on hand but my Ford tech had no idea what I was talking about .
In fairness mine has been able to do more than most as they have a “performance” line .Let's get real here, do Ford techs know anything about our cars? You hear regular stories about 8-quarts of oil put in gen3 Coyotes.
I heard of a few people who road race have done the swap .I wasn't aware that CPC engines had been swapped into GT350s.
