Restomod coyote do look good!
A buddy acquired his dads 64 falcon. Beautiful car! Black, 5spd, 302 carb'd, procharged.....sweet ride. When he acquired it, he swapped out the engine in favor for the coyote and thats no easy task! The shock towers had to be removed. Sheet metal to cover up the holes. A different front end had to be installed. Spent a bunch of money on it doing it right! The thing looked awesome! And he only did the swap cause his best friend is one of the top drag racers of coyote stock nmra. Im sure he convinced him into it.
After driving the car, getting its feel for awhile....he didnt like it. Said it wasnt a push rod 302! So....what does he do? Swaps out the coyote for a carb'd 302.....and not back to the original 302 either. A nasty built one by him.
He claims the coyote didnt have the same sound. Personally i think he is nuts, but its his car!

Tbh I really just want to go to the junk yard buy a 302 and rebuild it lol. I've always wanted to build an engine. Closes I got was swapping the heads in my mach 1 onto a new short block. Pulled entire trans and engine from the car had a nasty built 4R with a 3k stall and never even got to drive it. Short block ended up being trash.

you guys all sound like me. the old fart saying everyday why did someone have put plastic on my damn car. Anyways, i'm in the crowd that appreciates the blood sweat and tears someone put in their car to make it theirs. I mean we are living in a pretty crazy era right now with all the hp available from the Factory. It will die sooner than later, but there's a lot of hella fast cars on the road right now. I realized a while back that if you're gonna chase the fast cars and high hp just know that you're gonna pay a lot for it and you're still never going to be the fastest. Depending on the car, 400-500hp is plenty for a street car ( in my opinion)
You drove the 4v back and forth under the car port a couple times. That counts.You sound like everyone else in the worldI drove the 410w around some but never drove the 4.6 4V once. The Coyote will have the snot beat out of it.

Ditto! I’m thinking an old pickup - something like a 69 F-100.

I like old cars and trucks
I have had a few but it takes some work and quite a bit of money to get them to look like that

I know how you feel, Pinkie. I turned 75 last month. I did a few builds after I turned 65 and I have 4 fused discs, but it went real slow. I would talk to myself while I was working and say that if I was working for me, I would fire myself for being so slow. I have a fuel injected 94' GT now and have been thinking about carbing it. I know...don't do it but it's in our blood. Give your back some time to heal. You may be able to do more than you think you can now.

The car culture is alive and well. Kids in there 20s etc are doing amazing things with their coyote powered mustangs. 1000hp+.
LS swaps are still huge too.
They're trying to take our hobby away, but us gear heads are persistent people.

I think bottom line it comes down to the enjoyment of the individual. You wouldn't (at least I hope you wouldn't) do things because you DIDN'T enjoy them.
And what I like someone else might not. I like to wrench on the Slowbra. Others can't even fill their own tires, yes I've seen it. Some people can only have fun in a supercar so they work hard for it... or sell drugs lol. Some people can only have fun in a POS where they have no care if it runs or dies.
Some people restore a shitbox car and it is slow as a snail but the smile it puts on their face driving that old iron down the road is what matters to them.
We're all pretty much the same, with subtle differences.
Truthfully myself, I can't daily the Slowbra (even as nice as it's becoming lately) after tooling around town in my '18 Fusion. The ride quality and the peace of mind driving a newer car with better creature comforts just can't be beat. The Slowbra is just a fun weekend fair-weather sort of experience.

I am happy to report that I’ve hit the nail on the head with my previous post:
I do drive the snot out of my Coyote lol
Broke shit and fixed it a few times too!
