Coyote 5.0L...thoughts?

[eschaider]

I think this thread needs some moderation

[Cashburn]

I love how the debate is now Coyote vs FE. That's all.

[blykins]

Not much of a debate when it's only two guys arguing with each other.....

[lovehamr]

Yup, scintillating.

Here you go, this Coyote makes 620 Hp on pump gas with an 8-stack EFI, it reminds me of the 8-stack Weber kits that were popular on the 289 Cobra in the 60's.
No one has mentioned how the very light 5.0 small block (170-lbs less than a 351-Windsor) would improve handling, transient response, and braking, the extremely flat wide torque band and quick throttle response combined with a much lower rotational inertia would allow taking on a road course at 10/10's without fear of too much peaky delayed torque rise breaking away the rear tires.
