New Dedicated Ford Modular 5.0 "Coyote" Forum.

Great idea. Just for the record and a word of caution. There are no updated installation instructions from FF for the 2015-2016 Coyote. The latest Roadster version is revision O, effective date 11/18/15, and it's still the 2011-2014 version. Courtnie from FF recently posted in a thread, and also responded to an email from me, stating they are working to get a new engine and update the instructions. But no ETA at this time. I'm working with a 2015 version, like several others. I think (hope...) I have it sorted out, but it's not running yet. As soon as I get my transmission I'll drop the engine in and should have a first start and go-kart not long after. I know of at least one other build that is claiming about 100 miles on his, with positive results so far. All to say we need to be careful that some issues are specific to each version. I'm happy to share what I've learned, as David mentioned. Lots of stuff in my build thread. I've also got PM's going with several builders.

One other comment, also just for the record. Ford doesn't consider the Coyote a mod motor. It has a similar configuration and some of the internal and external dimensions and bolt-ons are the same. But it's an all new motor, new design, whole bunch of new stuff, and has no common parts to the former mod motors.
