    Weird Engine Swap???

    As a kid I did some very stupid things in some very slow cars! I guess my point is, if he drives like a maniac bad things can happen either way. I’d put the 4.6 in it and once you get a feel for how your kid acts, make a decision then. Is it possible for you to put the 4.6 back into your car and...

    Best parts sites -especially stock Ford parts?

    Also, if you find a part cheaper from another dealer online, your local dealer may match it. I did this when I purchased my gen 3 shortblock. My local dealer matched Tascas price which was the best I found at that time.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Picked up some cams for the 3-2-1 swap into my first gen s197. Still gathering parts at this point. Hopefully I’ll actually start assembling the engine in the fall. At this point I’m focusing on an NA build with the option for boost later on. Looking to be in the 450-470 range NA. Once I drive...

    Looking to get a 06 GT manual with low miles. What should I be on the look out for?

    If you’re looking specifically for 2006, I’d want to see if the spark plugs have been changed. The design on 2005-07 have been prone to breakage when they’re removed, especially if they haven’t been done in all these years. I believe 2008 they updated the design. There’s more knowledgeable...

    Any movie buffs or movie goers?

    All the John Wicks are awesome movies. I recently seen the Beekeeper, also a very good movie. Next on my watch list is this remake of Roadhouse that just came out. I like the idea of Connor McGregor as the bad guy. Hopefully it does the original some justice.

    Clean your filthy stereo!

    What are these CDs that you speak of? Lol Just kidding of course, I am old enough to remember using them all the time. Now I have a JVC unit that and I just stream music from my phone. I’m not an audiophile so if there is a difference my ears can’t appreciate it and if I was an audiophile I...

    Brake Upgrade Different Sizes question

    I have the 4 piston up front with the 13/14 rear brakes and I have not noticed any ill braking effects from this setup. To be fair, my car is a streetcar so I don’t push it to the very limit on public roads, but during spirited driving it hasn’t been a problem on my car.

    07 to 14 Coyote swap

    Thread '4.0 to 3.7 V6 swap' https://www.s197forum.com/threads/4-0-to-3-7-v6-swap.140825/ Not a coyote, but he did swap the interior and everything like you have mentioned. His thread might be a good place to start.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    Which 19” rim are you going with? I can vouch personally that all 19” wheels do not clear the 6 piston Brembos from a s550 Mustang. I have AMR wheels with 19x8.5” up front and 19x10 in the rear. The wheels have plenty of depth to clear so offset wasn’t my issue, the inner diameter of the 19”...

    Gen 3 Coyote in 05-09 GT

    Wow, a lot has changed since that post! That engine turned out to be complete garbage and I’ve since purchased a new gen 3 block, gen 2 heads, and I’m gathering the gen 1 timing components. I was extremely excited when I seen you released the wiring harness and that is on my short list to buy...

    Newbie with a Nightmare Scenario

    I just sourced one of these for my coyote swap. It was difficult to find but I ended up buying one from a guy who was parting out a Mustang. I can’t believe that this part is already discontinued.

    05 to 09 coyote generation 2 swap! Guide and help tips

    I’ve seen a VIN flash mentioned in this thread. What is the purpose of this and how is it accomplished? I am doing a 3-2-1 Frankenstein coyote swap and running a PATS deleted gen 1 ECU.

    Coyote swap exhaust for 05-09

    Looked through some of the threads and I couldn’t find my exact question so here goes. I am doing a coyote swap in my 2008 Mustang GT. I have the stock coyote headers and midpipe, as well as a full exhaust system off of a 2013 Mustang GT. Will this fit the car? I know all the components go...

    Thinking of upgrading from 05 to 13 should I do it?

    I think you answered your own question to be honest. I’ve owned two 2005-09 GTs and a 2013 GT with the track package. I liked them all in their own way, but the biggest difference between the two was the power. If you’re happy with the power output you have now, and like the styling better, I...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    "Downgraded" my brakes from 6 piston to 4 piston. I liked the 6 piston, but I needed my style of wheel in a 20" to fit them correctly and I really didn't want to go with 20's. I couldnt get the tires to balance properly and I had a vibration at 60+ on the highway. It was also cheaper to go the 4...

    Reman 4-piston Brembos on 05-14 GT

    I recently ran into an issue with wheel clearance on big brakes as well. I put 6 piston calipers from a 2018+ on my car and offset wise I was fine. I ran into a diameter problem with 19” wheels. In my case, it was the design of the wheels itself that caused my issue. There are people who have...

    The PIC WHORE CLUB!!! Knock before you Enter!!!

    As long as your wheels clear it is a piece of cake. My 19” did not clear the outside edges of the caliper so I had to ummm….”modify” the caliper and paint them. If it wasn’t for this, it would have been done in a day. I had plenty of “depth” to clear the caliper, it was the ID of my wheel that...

    No Heat

    Just a shot in the dark, but on my dads explorer the radiator cap went bad and wasn’t holding pressure and caused him to not have heat. Something minor to check if you haven’t already.
