First fire of the Coyote in my restomod foxbody!- Enough screwing around, the time has finally come. Weeks, nay months, of preparation have led us to this moment. Will it start the first time we power up the PCM and turn the key? Will it turn my house into a structure fire? Lets find out!
Will my coyote swap's fuel pump deliver? Lets test this fuel pump and make sure we have enough pressure to fire up the coyote. We went with a 340lph aeromotive fuel pump and adjustable regulator setup with 6AN feed and return lines. It's time to fill up the tank for the first time in over 20 years and send some juice to the relay to see if we can make some pressure.
Vevor hooked us up again! Today we're checking out the HD-10 rotational welding positioner tool from Vevor. This product was given to me free of charge by Vevor in exchange for my honest review. If you are new to my reviews, I try to show you how the tools work and might feel in your hands so you can make a better decision about buying it. Hit me up if you have any questions I didn't answer about it.
Installing the Ford Coyote PCM kit for my foxbody restomod. Wiring this thing up is gonna be super easy! ... or is it?
In this video I installed the factory Coyote mini starter motor and wired it up. The order of operations is a bit screwed up on this coyote swap but I'm confident we can get to where we need to be. The oil leak persists and is still a problem though.
Prepping my coyote swap for a first start, exhaust, intake, and engine oil! - In this video I tightened the exhaust bolts and re-torqued the intake back down. I also prepped the fuel line connection to the engine, replaced the cracked T-hose and filled it up with engine oil. Hey we hit a new milestone, first oil leak in over 20 years!
I accidentally bought the wrong bolt chamfer tool, but sent it anyway to see how bad it would be. This tool relies on friction and sucks. I wasted my own money on this and am not sponsored. If there's a use for this, please let me know in the comments.
Installing the alternator and test fitting the intake on my coyote restomod - In this video, I spend an obscene amount of time shortening a bolt to install the alternator, actually install the alternator, install one of the serpentine belts, install the plug on the side of the oil pan that is for a low oil sensor (I'm not using it), an oil filter, and some other stuff. Lots of talking in this one, sorry, skip around if you want.
Dropping a gen 2 coyote 5.0 into my 89 foxbody restomod - Finally putting an engine in this car after over 20 years. Will it go as planned? Spoiler alert, yep. Went right in. We did have to figure a few things out like putting the driver's side header on first but otherwise the whole thing didn't take much time at all. Next step, first fire?
Coyote install prep, installing the holley foxbody swap oil pan - In this video we finalize the preparations for putting the junkyard coyote into the car. We installed a Holley fox body coyote swap oil pan with Moroso oil pan studs and took a peek at the clutch that came off. Next video will have the engine going into the car. Use an engine stand folks!
