Coyote swap – single turbo
-True street car, power everything, factory cobra power brakes, power steering, Heat, etc. only thing taken off was a/c, Still have compressor/lines/condenser though if the new owner wanted to add it back...
I did the swap in the garage with a friend. I bought everything before I started the swap so it would go quickly. It probably took around 6 weeks mostly working on it on weekends.
As for price,it depends. I've seen people do it for ~5k. I did a lot of different stuff, like tubular suspension...
Welcome back man! Hope everything has been well! I don't think you can go wrong with either direction you go, I was at the same crossroad a few years ago as well. Ended up doing the coyote swap and was thrilled with it. It was much faster than it was with the Vortech and stock B head engine...
Fronts are 17x4.5 Weld Alumastar, rears are 15x10 (6.5bs) Champion speed series with the X beadlock, 28x11.50x15 MT ET street R bias ply.
I am back and forth between Indiana and Tennessee a lot so it really depends the time of month. Car is in Indiana currently though
Well I wanted to go auto but I've reached my limit for this year haha. So the manual will stay for this year. It's a T45's actually so I hope it holds up. It's completely built, 26 spline and twin disc.
We have made some progress on the car but still have a lot to do but thought I would start a small build thread about what the car is going through right now.
Coyote swapped it a few years ago and it ran exceptionally well, but us car guys know it's never enough. So last summer I added some...
Well the t56 isn't an option, the plan is to go Th400 next winter. But I am kinda at my spending limit this winter since I bought a new short block, fuel system, and building a turbo kit.
The trans is fresh and I put maybe 250 street miles on it last year breaking it in before the engine let...
Alright guys, trying to gauge an idea from people who have been down the road with the T45 and what kind of power can it really handle.
I plan on keeping my car around 700-750 about 90% of the time but occasionally turning it up to ~850-900.
The trans is completely built the the T45 source...
