I have owned and daily driven a 2010 Mustang GT 4.6L 3V for the last 5 years and racked up over 100K miles recently. The car has stayed stock it's entire life except for a Roush Catback and the factory option 3.73 rear. Didn't even bother tuning the car being as I drive it so much I just wasn't really concerned with the performance, more about keeping it reliable. My last 3V Mustang (Yellow Saleen) I went overboard with and got out of hand for a DD. However now I am close to having the car paid off, looking into a second vehicle so the gears started to spin. I always wanted a Coyote and felt kind of silly for not waiting on the 2011 when I purchased my 2010.
I started pulling some parts we had laying around the engine room and was able to come up with some of my old parts and some stuff we had from old race engines. Found a spare block, 3.750" Stroker Kellogg crank that needed some polishing, a set of my original Stroker 3V NA flat top Manley pistons and rings, all I needed was to order a set of rods and bearings. So I did! Our engine builder Tommy Martino brought it back yesterday from the machine shop as a complete Shortblock! Later this week we are going to assemble a spare set of heads with New Valves, guides, and seals. Then top them off with a set of Pac Valve Springs and Comp 127300 Cams! Being the car is still pretty much totally stock I'm going to poke around the storage shed and see if we have any headers, UD pulleys, maybe a larger intake and throttle body. With any luck we should be looking around 350+ RWHP on 93 octane! Which should be plenty enough to leave an unsuspecting stock(ish) Coyote in the dust!
I'll keep the thread updated as we go along with the build and get some pictures of the new engine as soon as its on a stand.
