Coyotah vs ls
you pointed out the selection of the engine vs the chevy. they picked a tiny coyote. not my choice to begin with. just being known for fords isnt ****. no pleasing whatever. who gives a **** what your opinion is? select the 5.8 and stroke it. use real heads for boost. gt500. im not a fan and have never been a fan of boosting coyotes. i have never considered boosting my coyote, and i did boost my 4.6 32v.
good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that engine did exactly what it was designed to do. Win offshore boat racing. Where was ford for that?
Dont be mad you cant build cubic inch in a Mod you have to force the air into it to make anything of it.
Where has GM been in competitive racing outside the US? Where are the 24h of Le Mans wins from GM? Not the little league **** the vette runs in, I mean the big boy race.
Not only can it not make as much power na it looses in boost to.....not as durable.....but so superior

You sure as **** don't know wtf you're talking about.
Gm was working on a 5.0l ls engine in one of their le mans cars a while back. Idk if it was DI or OHC or just pushrod. Been a while. When you can make the same horsepower and more torque from less rpm OR have a much better useable midrange or entire rpm range, then why wouldn't you?
Youve seen the 5.0 dyno graphs just like I have with cammed 5.0s where they lose massive power under 5k.
The dohc vs pushrod is clearly the issue in price. You can see that with this build. LME basically bought a brand new engine in parts and made one. MPR got a used engine (i assume) especially for 1800 then rebuilt it but reused alot of parts and still had to cut the parts short for budget from my interpretation.
IF you build them on the same budget the way a 5.0 guy would like, the ls would still "decimate all". Its straight facts since 2011 basically. The excuses get old and hanging your hat on 1 or 2 fast builds in chassis cars etc doesnt mean much.
You can like what you like, both are great engines but with ALL the parts and pieces that supposedly make the mod motors better 4 cams and phasers etc. they really aren't vs LS or LT. That conclusion is deeply rooted in Dyno graphs and track times.
Lol....he did tho

DOHC 4.6 built bottom end
Ported blower
swapped in a notchback
and you run ******* 11.5s
It still hurts your anus that it will always take more CI for a GM to win, even back when Fords used pushrod motors in Mustangs as well. Don't be mad at the truth

Furds pushrod motors were buckets of ****.
They're like serious cry babies dude.

Trying to bring any other engine into this conversation is ridiculous especially adding in a formula one engine.
This is coyote vs ls. Broader would be mod motor vs ls. Thats it. No straight race thoroughbreds.
Ford made a 5.8l. They could have left it NA and made better power vs the 5.0. They haven't yet. Since you're basically stuck around 5.0l for the coyote besides maybe a stroker setup? (Havent checked) then the only way to fix the lack of torque is with compression ratio and cams designed for it.
But that would really be working backwards as to what ford is doing.
The individual phaser has so much potential and the small ports help also. You get to change both icl and lsa and yet cant muster better power, something is way wrong. The engine and engineering is what limits itself. Especially the bore spacing. Not the fact that it is ohc/dohc alone. It lacks cubic inch. Kinda like a 5.3l. The 5.8l in 5.0 trim with higher cr etc would make much more impressive na power. But its not, so moot point.
As far as the pushrod for the trucks, its a very large engine which would make torque either way, but im guessing ford needed it to be economical for fleet use etc and pushrods are much much more economical than och/dohc. And they could use a lower CR on a pushrod and still make great power.
good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Youre working with an unlimited budget there then boss? Maybe that much boost on a stroked 5.8l wouldn't work? I mean they had to sleeve the 5.0 to handle it they didnt do it for fun.
The superior design broke 600lbft of tq short. Splain the superiorness of it please.

This guy does
Lol....he did tho
My furd faster than all the furd guys in here on their oe blowers......true ******* story to.

Also maybe offshore boat racing is a LIIITLE more extreme than whatever road race youre thinking of. MAYBE :-) And youre trying to compare a stock engine in your grandmas el dorado vs a race engine? Thats even richer than the Cadillac tax!!

As far as your other part...adding stroke to an engine REALLY only increases torque. Maybe some hp but since torque is force x a distance you are changing the distance and adding torque there BUT it also increases piston speed and trying to wrap a stroker to 8k would take MUCH more money than this budget had in the first place.
Everyone bringing in their unicorn builds when the facts are hard to swallow. Too many IFs.
Ford limited the engines and the aftermarket is like "meh just boost it and make sure to tell the ls guys they are using 1960s tech HAHAAAA"
This thread is all in good fun, but im not being whimsical in the actual facts.
Then what? Make the heads flow the same?
Then same cr or?
Then what about cam(s) and intake?
I mean im building a 312 so it could be in the ballpark there. That would be interesting.
3.898 x 3.268. Thats as close as you'll get without blowing a crap ton on custom pistons etc.
Lets talk about this seriously. Since im building one thats close its pretty easy and feasible to make a REAL budget build out of it. If everyone can agree on it. If i were to guess it would likely be a stock 5.0 vs the 312...i mean if you want to have everything near exactly equal then basically that would be it. Cyl head flow etc etc.
Ford guys, im going to make a thread and keep is civil and not theoretical internet unicorn builds ls guys too. Maybe we can have a decent conversation and some real theory instead of id build this with a bazillion dollars.
Ill post the thread Tomorrow (today) and link it here. See what happens.
The Coyote was designed to have 4 valves heads, 4 cams and like what a 17 foot long time chain. That's a lot of moving parts adding complexity and cost. To make the wide 4 valve heads of the DOHC COYOTE fit in a vehicle the engine ended up with limited potential for displacement increase. The problem with DOHC Is the power produced vs the physical size of the engine. It's a power density Issue. The real question isn't hp per liter or any of that. It's hp for the volume of space the engine takes up and the weight of the engine.
GM got the POWER density (shoehorn max power in small package for a low cost with reliability) design correct and Ford got yet another epic fail in basic engineering design. First Ford V8's spit sparkplug out then the Ford's break the plugs in the head. - All very bad design and typical of Ford's lack of engineering ability for the last decade and a half

That's the difference in engineering excellence between the two companies and why LS destroyed Coyote again on the same $15,000

An equal and fair test factors in inferior the Ford power density design.
Coyote budget $16,500
LS budget $15,000
$900 more to the Coyote for 4 cams
$500 more for doing head work due to the extra 16 valves.
Either engine can make fantastic hp for a street car.
Of course if money and budget isn't an issue the Coyote is definitely a very capable engine.

I don't give 2 ***** about the coyotah displacement deficiency. That's in the way the engines are designed.....it is what it is.
Your idea is only restricting the ls design. But to be 100% honest here a coyotah can't make the power a 4.8 does. The coyotah block simply cannot handle it.
Youre working with an unlimited budget there then boss? Maybe that much boost on a stroked 5.8l wouldn't work? I mean they had to sleeve the 5.0 to handle it they didnt do it for fun.
YYYAAAWWWNNNNN......sounds like your a professional excuse maker for the coyotah.
How many coyotahs do you own mac?
How many ls do you own?

The coyotah crowd thought they had some magical advantage with boost......but they didn't.
Btw i did a little rough math on the tq per/L because hp/L simply makes no ******* sense since hp is just a calculation. The ls came in at about 200tq/L.....the coyote 160tq/L

Get good laughs at hihos comments. "well but but my furd is faster than everyone with an OE blower" Lol. Yea well just remember no one in here has a termi swapped fox either. What a *** post from you. Lol.
You so dumb hiho. Guess what more tq & more rpm equals? More horsepower idiot. So as you only believe in tq. Rpm must mean nothing to you as you don't believe in horsepower. If you speak of rpm, with tq, you are speaking of horsepower tard. Duh duh
So if your tq is not calculated. Is it NM or LB/FT? Cause one shows different numbers than the other. Since you must know which one is real & which calculated. Or just tighten the bolt to just before it snaps is your real measurement. Lol.
