The 302 and Cobra Jet intake manifolds give you considerably better top end power and increased RPM range without a significant loss in torque. (4 if you count the truck variation, which is outside the scope of this conversation). And torque!!įord manufactures 3 intake manifolds that can be used on the coyote. Ford does not use direct injection (DI) or direct acting mechanical bucket (DAMB) on the coyote, but still manages to get good fuel economy, emissions, and power. It revs to 7000 RPM, and has a 11.0:1 compression ratio. The coyote not only employs a dual overhead cam design, but it also features independent variable valve timing on both the intake and exhausts. Ford has been doing OHC engines for quite a long time, and the 'modular' V8s that came before this current incarnation were of DOHC and SOHC variety. Yes the engine is a DOHC, but there is a lot more to it than that. Mod motor? Nope, just another poorly executed design from ford. You will spend $10,000 to get that ford to do the same. Bring it up to it's 2013 configuration and it puts out 560 hp at 7000 rpm. Mod motor? What's modern about it? The DOHC configuration? The little BMW v8 is smaller, lighter, cheaper, revs higher and makes more power in it's normally aspirated form.

If you want more you will really spend because that head layout does not lend itself to easy mods. Yes, but in spite of the DOHC layout and the huge heads that motor makes 412 hp.
