M1 vs GT engine differences?

[cerbomark]

Is there any internal difference in the M1 and the GT 5.0 engine? I know about the intake difference and the tuning difference but any other internals? I saw a post here about a broken crank shaft sprocket on a 2020 .

Pretty sure it's just Intake manifold, throttle body, air tube/air cleaner and tune.

Yea the differences are relatively minor, but IMO that's a good thing, since if you ever need to rebuild your engine or replace it, it means you'll have a large source of parts to draw from, and not be completely screwed like some other cars *cough GT350 cough*.

I think the Gen3 Coyote is supposed to be pretty reliable, and I've seen very few complaints on these boards about them, especially given how many have been produced. The only real disclaimer is that they are all still relatively young, being introduced in 2018. The new tech behind them seems pretty solid.

Overall I'd say Coyotes have been VERY reliable, most problems on early gens were on boosted cars and points of failure were specific. The Coyote has changed quite a bit through generations and here is a great resource to look at the specifics of that evolution. Coyote reliability is a reason why you buy, not a reason against. I did huge deep dives into the BBQ tick noise (there is a remedy for this, doesn't work for everyone but it exists). and the very few other Coyote issues, and I'm totally convinced its a damn great design and reliable engine. Pay particular attention to oil levels, pretty standard advice for any DOHC engine with variable timing mechanisms, and don't worry about it. The engine probably won't ever be a source of problems for you, especially if you remain on stock tune.

Kermut is right to point out that the tech behind them had already been proven in other designs in general. Take the DI for example Ford did it right by combining it with port injection as well, netting the benefits of DI and the benefits of valve cleaning from port injection.

The word file is a collection of write ups from multiple car magazine articles describing coyote development over the years. I copied and pasted it, so the language is choppy and doesn't flow but you will get the detailed main points, even beyond what the PDF white paper describes. Again I did not write this doc, I only combined passages from multiple sources, I'm not claiming credit for it.
