Veteran Ford writer and historian Jim Smart highlights all of the latest and greatest options to achieve more horsepower and torque, and of course, faster quarter-mile times in Ford Coyote Engines: How to Build Max Performance-Revised Edition.

In this Revised Edition, now covering Generation III engines as well as Generation I & II, upgrades included are engine building techniques, cold-air induction kits, supercharger and pulley kits, better exhaust headers, fuel system and ECU tuning upgrades, and more. Both Ford and the aftermarket have produced an array of parts to squeeze even more power out of your Coyote.

Ford introduced its first “clean slate design” V-8 engines in the early 1990s in Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models. Known as the "Modular" engine family, the 4.6L engines employed new overhead cams, multi-valve performance, distributorless ignition, and more. This engine had new technology for its time, and it proved to be an extremely durable workhorse that logged hundreds of thousands of miles in police and taxi applications as well as light-duty trucks. And, of course, hotter versions, and even supercharged versions, found their way into performance applications such as Mustang GTs and Cobras.

By 2011, Ford wanted something hotter and more current, especially for its flagship Mustang GT and GT350 models, which were suddenly competing with new 6.2L LS3 engines in Camaros and 6.4L Hemi engines in Challengers. Enter Ford's new 5.0L “Coyote” engine with Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT); it was an evolution of the earlier 4.6L and 5.4L Modular designs. Although the new Coyote engine had increased displacement, it still had far fewer cubes than the competition. Despite less displacement, the Coyote could hold its own against bigger Chevy and Chrysler mills thanks to advanced technology, such as 4V heads with better port and valvetrain geometry. The Coyote is also Ford's first foray into technology that includes Ti-VCT and cam-torque-actuated (CTA) function, which is a fancy way of saying variable cam timing for an incredible power curve over a broader RPM range. Now, in Generation III, Ford has implement a system using both Port and Direct Fuel Injection, taking advantage of the benefits of both systems in a single application.

Even with all of this new technology, there is always room for improvement. If you are looking for even more power from your new Coyote, look no further than this volume.

The Ford Mustang has seen quite an evolution in its 50-
plus years of existence. Times change, consumer demands
change, and sometimes, you stop and wonder, “How did we
get here?” Ford’s designers and its customers were thinking
the same thing in the early 2000s. The evolution from the
classic original design to the New Edge styling of the 1999–
2004 models had some scratching their heads. Ford decided
to take a bold turn back to the Mustang’s roots with the fifthgeneration
model, which made its debut for the 2005 model
year and lasted through 2014. Echoing the Mustang fastback
design of the 1960s, Ford inspired a path of retro design that
the Camaro and Challenger followed shortly thereafter. The
move proved incredibly popular with enthusiasts. Of course,
with car enthusiasts, the immediate thought was, “How can
we make this new Mustang even better?”

The big news in 2011 was the introduction of the new
5.0-liter Coyote engine, which was a huge upgrade over the
previous 4.6-liter engine. In Ford Mustang 2011–2014: How
to Build and Modify, Mustang expert Wes Duenkel takes you
through the entire car, system by system, to explore ways
to get more performance out the last of the fifth-generation
Mustangs. Included are chapters on engine modifications,
brake and exhaust upgrades, power adders, chassis and
suspension upgrades, cooling system modifications, and
EFI and tuning tips. Wheels and tires, differentials, electronic
upgrades, and more are also covered.

The 2011–2014 Mustangs are finding their way into the
affordable category at present with warranties expiring and
acquisition costs being very reasonable. Of course, as with
all generations of Mustang, there is a robust aftermarket to
explore for performance parts and accessories. Ford Mustang
2011–2014: How to Build and Modify covers it all and will help
you make your Mustang everything you want it to be.
