I'm curious if John Mihovetz is still campaigning the 4.6 mod motor or if he's moved onto the Coyote. If he is, that would be very telling. On his web site I still see 4.6 and 5.4 stuff but didn't see any Coyote. Can anyone shed light on this?
He's still very much into the 4.6/ 5.4 platform. I was at his shop a few months ago & we spoke at length (and I'll be going back soon to pick up some items). It was like a candy shop in there with plenty of mod motor madness. I will, say he has a lot of rabbits up his sleeve...I'm curious if John Mihovetz is still campaigning the 4.6 mod motor or if he's moved onto the Coyote. If he is, that would be very telling.

Not if you spend $5 figures on MMR's Billet piece.From what I've seen the stock Coyote blocks are only good for about 700hp. Beyond that they have issues.

MMR uses the CNC ported GT350 heads that you can purchase from the Ford Racing catalog on their Pro-Mod motor.i have read on other ford boards that for all-out race applications, the mod motor heads have a flow advantage over the coyote heads. iirc it has to do with the length/shape/design of the intake ports.
Yea, Mihovetz has been running Teksid and perhaps 3V blocks for years. That's quite a testament to the robustness of the factory mod motor engine design but not very flattering for the Coyote. If he has experimented with the newer engines I would like to hear what their typical failure mode has been. NA the Coyote (and more so the Voodoo) are pretty impressive motors but something tells me the mod motor rules the roost when it comes to FI. One would think Ford got the memo that newer engines should be better than the older ones.
I thought the new coyote motors were better than our motors when it came to boost. I know they have higher compression but dont they have bigger heads and doesn't the ti-vct help?
The problem is the thin wall between the bores and the llinerless block. Not a good combo for lots of boost. I'm sure some guys push their Coyote engine but something tells me they are far and few between. It would be nice if John chimed in but something tells me he doesn't want to offend the Ford Motor Company.
Bigger heads then our motors yes but not bigger/better flowing than the GT500/Ford GT heads which fit our blocks as well as the 5.4L. Some of the best builds I have see are with this head.
Not sure how the Voodoo compares to the Ford GT heads.
