93 Foxbody Coyote Mustang at Sebring

admin — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:42:59 +0000

Got the coyote project ready just in time for Sebring this year. I ran in group 2 this year. The build was fresh so I wanted an instructor in the car again (group 3 and above is solo, which means you drive alone). The wind noise in the video below is horrible but if you listen, you can tell that I kept the car one gear higher than I could have, to keep the RPMs down on the new motor. Next time, I’m going all out! Here is some footage from the event:

If you’d like to get involved in open track events with your Mustang or other sports car, check out http://www.trackguys.com. This organization is great for everyone. The event is separated into groups – the beginner groups requiring an instructor in the car (this is an excellent way to learn and stay safe!) and the more advanced groups running solo.

2012 Boss 302 Engine Installed in 1993 Foxbody Coupe

Ok – so I skipped ahead a bit. I have a bunch of pictures and information from the assembly of the 2012 Boss 302 engine but it’s going to take a while to get everything organized and write that article.

Here’s a pic of the installed engine. I painted the engine cover and intake to better match the car – and to make it a little different.

2012 Mustang Boss 302 Block Prep for engine build!

admin — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 00:57:00 +0000

I finally received the coyote 5.0 block. It was discontinued by Ford Racing and is supposedly pending replacement by a revised version. The new block will no longer have the option for oil squirters and uses a slightly smaller diameter head bolt. I wonder if there was some weakness in the deck of the previous block that necessitated the head bolt revision?

This discontinued version of the block as part number M-6010-A50L4V

One thing that I noticed right away was that many of the machined surfaces inside the block had numerous burrs and shavings just waiting to fall off into the engine oil. Technically, these should get picked up by the oil filter but why chance it?

I used a small round file to knock off all of the free/extra aluminum that Ford had to offer. I’m more comfortable with it on the floor of my garage vs my oil pan.

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:49:41 +0000

Received some of the basic short block parts for assembling the Boss 302 engine. The block itself is backordered until later this month. Everything looks as it should. I’m going to get some of the other internal engine parts ordered up this week and should be able to assemble the engine as soon as the block arrives. I also picked up the Boss 302 oil pan.

It’s hard to beat Tousley Ford pricing – ask for Steve and tell him Jeff Foster sent ya!

Boss 302 Crankshaft M-6303-M50B – $242.00 (I couldn’t believe it either!)
Boss 302R Piston/Rod/Ring Combo M-6100-M50BR – $759.00
Boss 302 Oil Pan M-6675-M50B – $91.00
Boss 302 Harmonic Balancer (Ford Service Part) CR3Z-6312-A $55.72

2011 5.0 Crate Engine Plans

admin — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 17:55:52 +0000

As soon as Ford announced the new modular 2011 5.0 engine for the Mustang GT, I was dreaming about what a great engine this would be in a Fox body car. It seems that I wasn’t the only one, as there are at least two cars being fitted with this engine as I write this. Here are the ones that are currently getting updates:

I am planning to go the same route with my 93 coupe. The 331 and Vortech setup is currently for sale. I’ll use the proceeds from that to purchase and install the “new” 5.0. Stay tuned!

Update – 331 sold, pickup up a 2011 5.0 crate engine soon!
