Nice so the 5.0 coyote is 444lbs... I think this is probably around 420ish maybe lighter.

Very impressive! :first:

I have to wonder if these manifolds share the port shape and size with the regular coyote heads..

Exhaust swap anyone?

Different firing order, different focus on exhaust scavenging. If you read into the flat-plane crank design you'll see the different philosophies in exhaust tuning.

Yeah I know, it was just a wag anyway

The Gen 1 Coyote (with piston oil squirters) weighed 429.9lbs ready to run. The Gen 2 Coyote (piston squirter delete) weighed 428.8lbs. The piston oil squirters were put back in last year. So, with the small changes, I'd expect it to still be around 430lbs. DI will add 10-20lbs in the future... This is also an 8 quart motor which makes the Coyote a little heavier than the 418lbs LS3. 8-10lbs could be lost with PTWA as well as a slight output bump and increase in MPG's.

Thanks for the correction! I found that the crate motor was 444lbs?

That may be shipping weight, which would include packaging and pallet.

That is correct, 444lbs is dry shipping weight. I guess there is 15lbs of wooden crate. More of you think about the fluids not present.

I heard the 5.2 Voodoo's were 540hp engines today...

@thePill - Did you hear that the GT350R is 500lbs lighter than the GT? That would make the GT350 370lbs lighter. That's a pill for those Chevy boys to swallow!

Oh yeah...it's been discussed

Camaro5 isn't a happy place right now about the GT350R

I have heard from Ford Racing that the GT350R is 500lbs lighter than the Mustang GT. They also say it is 130lbs lighter than the GT350 as well as other standard press release stuff.

Ford knows it says that, they either don't care to edit it (which they have edited the post but left the 500lbs lighter bit in). Or, they simply didn't make a mistake and the GT350R is indeed a sub-3300lbs car.

The benefits of a dedicated platform vs. the Alpha...

I continuously try to caution their base on a regular basis. I don't feel bad for the core elitist over there, never have, never will...

The ones that want me banned from the Internet are the same ones crying now. Don't hold your breath for an impressive 6th Gen. The days of sharing a platform between performance cars is long gone. The Alpha is at a disadvantage from the start, the HALO cars are already showing their limits.

 

[FPC GT350]

I think the GT350 will be plenty car for me considering there isn't a power discrepancy.

 

[w3rkn]

I don't think alpha is a problem anymore, for blue oval.

 

[Trackaholic]

Man, that 500 lb weight reduction seems pretty unlikely. I suspect something was misinterpreted. Would be nice, but don't want to be getting my hopes up.

Damnit, I'm getting my hopes up....
