Project NoPulp - V2

Orange 94 · Nov 10, 2017

Hello! I wanted to start a fresh build thread for V2 of Project NoPulp. I figured people would be interested in my process of coyote swapping, so I'll do my best to document it.

Edit: Coyote swap abandoned. Doing a SBF instead.

A bit of a summary of V1, the car was purchased as a father-son project in Feb 2007, I was 12 years old at the time. The idea was to do something a bit different. We ended up rebuilding the entire car and swapped a 4.2 V6 from a F150 and supercharged it using the M112 from a cobra.

I did a more in depth write up on Speedhunters:

Hereâ€™s just a few photos of the build to give you an idea.

I guess the question is why V2 now? Well the engine blew. Thankfully it happened at a track and it could easily be dealt with, damage being isolated to just the engine. I hate doing repairs, but very much enjoy doing upgrades which I now have the opportunity to do. I would like to do something unique again, but the only regret I have with the previous build was not driving it enough. While it ran good, it always had some quirks which is expected. I wanted to do a setup that would provide great power, reliability and drivability. There was really very little debate on going with a coyote swap, so here we go!

I currently have a coyote swap kit – pretty much the entire mustang GT minus the body, rear end, interior and suspension. This kit however is for my dad’s 56 ford, which will also be receiving a coyote swap. I’ll be using it to test fit some components like the getrag transmission before ordering what I need. I have also received all the Maximum Motorsports front suspension componets to make the swap happen – tubular k-member, coilover kit for my tokico struts, tubular A arms, and bump steer kit.

The first step was to remove all the old components and start from scratch.

Then the old suspension.

Tore apart the old engine.

The pistons and connecting rods broke in the rear 2 cylinders. My best guess is the connecting rods broke, which is a weak point. The piston pins were still attached to the connecting rod. The pistons were shattered. Other than the hole in the side it did minimal damage. There's a couple little nicks on the head. The cylinders are oddly clean, no gouges and only a bit of minor scoring in one cylinder. The crank seemed clean, would have to pull it out to see for sure. I'll also need to pull the cam to see if its damaged.

Holy Cow, that's gnarly. I will be looking for that engines build thread. I'd like to see what all was in/on it, I've got an old 2001 4.2 f150 that I've been thinking of tearing the heart out of and rebuilding. A cobra blower could be interesting.

OLD H2S · Dec 10, 2017

Good idea, maybe some stronger rods. Any idea what the RWHP was?

96blak54 · Dec 10, 2017

Stronger rods and a bigger exhaust valve

lutter94 · Dec 10, 2017

I'm thinking he just copy and pastes his posts from the "other forum". I haven't seen one post of his including conversation since they switched over.

I bet it is not too often that a photo gets taken right during the "blow out" of the engine.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Around 300whp!

Not sure what your beef is? I actually haven't been posting on any forums for awhile, been dealing with some things. Would prefer my build thread to be about the build and not drama, PM if you would like.

BEEF

Its whats for diner

Or its whats for Orange

Glad to see you upgrading after the carnage, keep plugging along man and update us when you get a chance!

So coyote swap was abandoned... The getrag wasn't going to work. Adding up the cost of a t56 plus all the little items along the way wasn't going to be cost effective. I also ended up buying a house.

So doing a SBF!
Ended up finding a pair of mustangs for a good deal. Pulled the parts off to do the swap.

Once I had the engine torn down and began parts shopping, ended up finding another engine with a built top end already. So bought that to save some money. I do have a volvo wagon that could eventually use the other block...

Went with an explorer intake and have been doing so light porting/clean up. I'm almost ready to start assembling everything again.

Soon I'll get the suspension bolted up on the car and be able to move it to my house... once I dig it out.

I also sold my Work wheels since they won't fit around the coilovers. Went with a GT350R style wheel in liquid graphite. Very excited to get these on the car!
