If your day goes like this
Friday 6pm: "let me see if i can get a good deal on some brake pads"
Saturday 3 am: "so if i stay under 850 whp i can keep the stock bottom end... Wait what about the fuel system"
Never happens ever... Last week i decided to change pads. Go to pull the wheel nuts the wrench just spun the nut wouldnt come lose... The fucking were swollen... Had to cut them off took literally forever. Then after i did that, got the brakes on went to the rear tire to bleed it realizing the...
When you tell your wife: "Nah it's not gonna take long to put on. I saw the CJ Pony parts video. It'll take an hour tops..."
6 hours later....
"Fuck... This car..."
You double check that you put your keys in your left pocket before entering the car. Because if you mess up you'll pop the trunk the second u sit in the car...EVERY...SINGLE...TIME...
Literally the most annoying thing ever...
So day after got to say im LOVING the cold start.
It sounds mean but its still so quiet that you hardly hear it when you're a few feet away so it's great for the neighbors. I also realized that the windows up kills the volume significantly which is nice for highway driving. Plus i leave for...
So i finally installed my borla X pipe and the car is NOTICEABLY quieter inside the cabin than stock lol outside the car does sound a little bassier on cold starts, but once it warms up its almost like the engine isn't on. I do notice the engine appears to be reving a little faster, but nothing...
Nah dude dont worry about all that. Just take the liner off the hood you'll be fine. You have an intercooler right so IATs aren't an issue. The job of the intercooler is to reduce your charge temps. If the cars running hot you need a bigger fan, or radiator or oil cooler.
Plus you can get...
iplusesi prefer top mount turbo, because the turbo are easily accessible, if you need to check the wastegate for boost leaks, or check for oil leaks or replace a turbo. A top mount makes them easy to access. Plus if you're gonna spend 8-12k why not show it off...
Bro once the car has a turbo there wont be any hiding... Once the engine is on they're going to know somethings up. They Will hear the turbo spooling at idle... And all turbo engines have a distinct pulse sound because of how the exhaust flows through it. So you won't be fooling anyone.
If The...
I'd go another route on the headers and decide if your going to go turbo eventually or supercharged before buying the headers.
Yolo from Lund was saying BBKs are pretty restrictive, that said hes working with 600+ hp builds.
Texas speeds are pretty much knock offs of ARH and ARH is used by...
I personally would suggest upgrading the valvesprings, valves and retainers before buying cams. Especially on a twin turbo car or a setup with a log style manifold. These setups tend to have increased back pressure at higher boost the stiffer valvesprings will help prevent valve float or worse...
Its A ford dude its gonna be fine. Its designed to hop curbs.
As long as the radiator isn't broken it'll be mostly body work the engine should be fine. They dobt say "built ford tough for nothing"
your starting from behind the 8 ball... That's the point.
You're going to spend 15-20k just getting that engine in the car. So you'll have 430hp and a boat anchor. For 20k.
Then you will need significantly more power to out run the coyote powered car. To overcome the weight disadvantage...
if you live with that kind of traffic and you were happy with the 10 speed, and you are a novice manual driver get the auto.
Traffic like that will cook your clutch in no time, and u'll be frustrated in the long run, better to get something with a torque converter it will be more reliable.

Harbor freight tools are garbage.
I've had great success with husky tools from home depot. They are better than craftsman for alot less money..,
I've used snap on and mac tools as well, negligible improvement in quality or reliability over husky.
So go husky. Plus the logo looks like a...
Doesnt Make sense in a fox body either...
Which car will be faster for 20k?
A coyote swap or a 7.3?
You have all the parts, documentation already for the coyote, and tuners have config files. 7.3l you have nothing.
What transmission are you going to use with that engine? What clutch or torque...
