I went with a Smeding 427 built on a 351 Dart block. The motor dynos at 571 HP with a nice broad power band. Runs on pump gas and is, most certainly, very reliable.

Insofar as what is the upper limit for power on these cars, given the weight advantage these cars have over production cars I would say that anything over 450 HP is probably under-utilized. Having said that, you can certainly drive it hard with 600 HP and not be well over your ski tips. The front-mid engine configuration makes for a car with good balance, which works really well in high HP applications. My last track day was up at Thunderhill on the 3 mile layout and Corvettes, Mustangs and Vipers were no match. The Porsches were quite a bit faster because they have much better braking due to their unique balance, so they could come in hotter, brake hard, then accelerate at an increasing rate through the turns to slingshot out of the exit. Having said that, it is a good feeling to go around a track with 50 year old technology, updated components but it’s still analog tech, and put the fear into drivers with much more exotic cars.

jeffnolan did you just get your BDR as a roller and install your engine an trans yourself. Smeding use to be here in northern CA but moved, I believe to tx a few years ago. They make a great motor at a good price....

I had the car built in SoCal and spec’ed the Smeding; they are indeed out of Texas now. I’m really happy with their engines, would buy another without much thought.

Are you saying the sound in a Coyote can be just as good as a normal 427 with special mufflers? What do you mean by special?

Sound will never be the same. You have to appreciate each for what they are. A Coyote at full pull is louder though.

Some additional video/sound of a supercharged Coyote (mine ). Music to my biased ears.

More of the same thing here - Vintage Motorsports. I'm in NJ, I went to BDR in Florida, and I've been to other BDR dealers, ultimately decided Jay & Brian. Their knowledge and dedication to the brand shows. Here's my BDR #1644 idle sound, VMS 427EV2 motor w/ Holley Sniper FI. Love it!
