    Turbocharged Coyote/6R80 Swap, Build/Discussion Thread, Pics, info inside!

    I figured it's time to start the official build thread finally! Many of you here have participated in my discussion thread about the subject, located here:

    http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum...ad.php?t=97655

    As promised, I planned to start a dedicated build thread documenting the swap and turbo kit build/tuning process. Now that things are under way, it's time to start the appropriate thread regarding the matter.

    Here is where it begins!

    Disassembly of the stock Marauder has commenced. The history of the car has been well documented in the previous thread, so I won't elaborate on that. This process, starts with a perfect and very beautiful example of the Marauder model. End goals are to retain EVERYTHING fully functional, just as I did my turbocharged, chevy powered Vic.

    Day 1:




    The build for this car is as follows at the present time:

    2012 F150 5.0L Coyote
    6R80 trans from above donor
    Turbocharged with air-to-air FMIC as I did on my Vic, via custom made turbo kit produced by myself, as with my other builds.
    Tuned with HP Tuners by myself, as with other builds.
    All fabrication/wiring completed by myself as with past builds.

    I ordered the entire donor pullout, which should show in the coming days. I am starting removal of the stock engine/transmission this weekend. It was posted for sale in the appropriate section a while back here on mm.net, and currently has a buyer.

    This project will happen in 2 phases. The first phase, I will get the setup in and running all stock, naturally aspirated. This will allow me to work out some of the integration bugs I anticipate, as well as get a solid foundation on tuning before proceeding (I have only tuned forced inducted LS setups prior).
    If time permits this year, there will be dragstrip passes all stock. I have also ran the car as it sits now, all stock, which will give a good baseline on what the Coyote/6A improves over stock.

    After that is completed, I will move on to the turbo kit fabrication and phase 2.

    The process should really start to take off in the next two weeks once parts arrive, and I anticipate to have some test fit pictures by next weekend at this point.

    I will only be happy if this combo can produce the same, if not more, than my turbo Chevy Crown Vic did. On 14psi/race gas, it was around 600 RWHP.

    From what i'm finding with the Coyote, those numbers should be very possible. Seems the 5.0L is pretty legit on boost.

    Haha, indeed. It literally happened at the last minute after a member here informed me of PBH's Coyote swap accessory brackets, in addition to me finding a full Coyote pullout will all the fixin's, on cheap to say the least.

    There is an LS thread on my Vic over on crownvic.net, if you want to pursue that route as well

    conversion

    Didn't look for it but wasn't that particular conversion done with a manual tranny not a 6 speed auto?


    Suggestion ---its fair to assume new components will have to be fabricated for the latest conversion with 6 speed auto
    If its feasible please consider making some extra parts to sell to others who want the same setup.

    conversion

    The setup is with manual trans which is great but... the Mrs. will be driving it too so 6 speed auto tranny will be the deal

    Cant wait to see 96gt4.6 pull the rabbit out of the hat

    Actually it wasn't, I used a 4L80E auto on that setup. Stock vic column shifter/ect all worked with the GM stuff.

    After it's complete, depending on my schedule, I might fab a few pieces for this swap, however, the main intent of this thread is for others to follow if they want to pursue this option. Due to not having much spare time, I try not to do much on the side as far as making parts.

    Patient is prepped and ready for surgery. Got the cooling system drained and flushed out with water (prevents a mess with coolant when removing the motor):



    I still feel really bad for taking such a beautiful running car apart......but I know that, in the end, it will be worth it:



    Due to my work schedule, weekdays usually don't produce much work. Friday evening, and Saturday morning there will be a big gaping hole where the stock motor used to reside.

    I still feel really bad...

    What??? I dont.
    Just close your eyes and pretend an illegal invaded your engine compartment. If you can't do it i'll come over and rip it out by its little 281 throat.
    You are doing it a big favor --- gut it no mercy.

    I read when you were in the LS decision phase, you offered to document fabbed items to make / sell to support future swaps.
    I highly suggest doing this for the 5.0/6spd auto swap.
    A blue oval, boostable power, modern = winning!
    oops - I see you posted your response to this as I was typing...

    Can't wait to see this project go forward. I don't have skills or know how to do this, so I'm living vicariously through yours. It will be very interesting to see how the car performs with the more modern drivetrain.
