E36 Ford Coyote Swap Build Thread

[ponchiz318]

First of all, really nice writeup and great job on the swap! The car looks and sounds awesome.

I do have a question/concern. My understanding is that the F150 Coyote engines were rated at 385 hp, vs. 412/435/460 for the Mustang version, due to the F150 being tuned for torque and towing rather than top end horsepower. Yours seems to be down about 50 horsepower from stock. Am I missing something?

Crank hp vs wheel hp. The ratings manufacturers give out are almost always crank HP.

Can you snap a picture of the engine? I'd like to compare how much volume it takes up over an LS swap.

336hp to the wheels with 15% drivetrain loss is 395hp at the crank. Truck Coyote has 10.5 compression vs. the Mustang's 11.0, smaller intake cams, and different tune.
