Coyote-Powered '01 Bullitt

[blainestang]

Well, I finally got some pictures of this thing.

Backstory: A flash-flood turned the Vortech 4.6 into a boat anchor. My dad (the owner), has always preferred all-motor to supercharging since he was in HS in the original muscle-car era. So, I told him they had just started making crate 5.0s and offering the control package, so he took it to S&R Performance in Tampa, and the rest is history.

As far as I know (could be wrong), it's the first New Edge powered by the new 5.0. The swap has been done and the car has been daily driven for a couple months, but they've been fine-tuning a few things. Specifically, they retuned the car so it runs great (no stalling) and makes great power across the powerband. The first tune that I drove a couple weeks ago was garbage, honestly. The car now makes 40Xwhp, supposedly. We're waiting on the actual dynosheet, but it feels like it, now.

Now for the pics:

Nice! I'd lose the badge, though.

AC working?

LOVE LOVE LOVE the 5.0 swaps showing up

Clean, clean, clean!

Thanks... and yeah, I'm not 100% on the badges, but it's not my car (yet).

Yep... everything works. It's a DD in FL :-D

I'd personally leave them right where they are.

The motor backs them up, they're a conversation starter, and they don't look out of place IMO.

Very nice! The only thing it needs is new rims and some lowering springs.

thats awesome

Agreed... it definitely could use some lowering. It does have UPR coilovers in the front, but at stock height for now.

Your car looks amazing!

 

[wjk]

Very nice! How difficult was it?

Exactly because it's not a 5.0.... I mean wait- wut? Oh it really is a 5.0 and the badge is accurate? Gotcha- keep the badge:rockon:

Tint would help also. I can't talk though haha mines a fishbowl too.

Thanks... I didn't actually do the swap, and didn't follow as closely as I had hoped, but because of how early on this swap was, the headers, oil pan, power-steering pump, etc, are all custom. So, I wouldn't say it was easy, but it sounds like the parts to make this swap easier are going into production, which will be nice... it just didn't help in this case.

Yeah, it's not a misbadge or anything. I agree that it'll be an interesting conversation starter.

Yeah, good call on the tint. I'm not the one that drives it every day or it would already have it.

Sweet. Hoping someone would do this. Isn't it only 5.5k plus the control unit? Not bad.

Yeah, something like that. Of course, then you need headers that fit, amongst several other things. I'm sure there are cheaper ways to make 400whp, but not many are factory-stock crate motors that you just drop in... and are N/A.

 

[Paulinator]

nice bet it runs good

 

[JasonSnake]

Amazing... but find 'smaller' 5.0 badges... those are huge...
