Bare with me please, I'm a little confused by your post.
You say the 302 Coyote is underpowered yet the stock 5.0 makes 1.36 HP per CI for 412 HP
yet a stock 427 SO FE only makes 1 HP per CI for 425 HP
So if your going to compare engines side by side and not highly modified than the FE or the equally stock Windsors are way underpowered.
Or is there something wrong with my math.
I'll admit I have never been an FE fan even though I have owned a few.
And I believe the Windsor, especially in NASCAR configuration is a better engine.(Can't argue with 800+HP out of 358 CI)
But your opinion that the Coyote is underpowered just does not make sense.
