5.0L Coyote swap – 2008 Sport Trac Adrenalin

We are in the process of swapping a new Coyote 5.0L crate engine into our ’08 Sport Trac Adrenalin. You may have seen our swap last year on this truck featuring a 5.4L 3v supercharged engine. Well, we’re back for another approach with Ford’s newest dream engine, the 5.0L 4v Mustang GT engine. The truck will also be receiving a manual transmission swap to a 6spd gearbox to allow for some awesome burnout competitions and killer videos. You can see more under our Project Vehicles category.

Justin’s 2V Terror

We recently completed another big 2-valve project here in the Shrader shop. With a Vortech T-Trim laying down 18 psi, this 2V build turned the dynojet rollers to the tune of 629 rwhp all through a power-robbing C4 auto! We have even more in store for this engine in the coming months.

BrightMare goes 6.45 at 114 mph

Farmington Dragway was the site of a new personal record for our yellow Vortech-supercharged E-85 machine this November. The weather was perfect for some good passes, and BrightMare didn’t disappoint. Launching on 26″ slicks, coming out of the hole on a 150 shot of nitrous, the stock 3650 trans held up to the punishment, and delivered a 6.45 ET at an astounding 114.3 mph in the 1/8. Not too shabby for a 2V car that still sports a valid DMV registration and a cold A/C. That will definitely be a 9 second pass once we find a 1/4 mile track to test at. Stay tuned!

Kenne Bell 2.8L on a 2010 Camaro SS

Although we primarily do Ford engines, ocassionially we step outside the box to work on something different like Mark’s gorgeous 2010 Camaro SS. We installed a polished Kenne Bell 2.8 on the stock L99 engine. With a new Borla exhaust system, and 9psi of boost, it made 507 rwhp on the Dynojet through an automatic with a custom tune.

800 rwhp from a 4.6 2-valve!

If you’re familiar with our yellow ’99 GT shop car that we call BrightMare, you may have heard the news about our latest dyno results on E85 fuel. With a small S-Trim Vortech supercharger on top of our all-forged Shrader-built 4.6 2V powerplant, with a shot of nitrous, it laid down an impressive 829 rwhp and 723 rwtq at Pro-Dyno’s dynojet. Check out the video to the right of the home page.

Charles’ 323ci BOSS stroker engine with a YSi

One of the builds we did this year was this 323ci stroker mod motor for our customer Charles. Featuring a BOSS big bore block, Kellogg 3.75 stroker crank, DSS pistons, Manley rods, Trickflow 2v heads and the best of everything coupled with a Vortech YSi, made a tire scorching 651 rwhp in a daily driven street car with A/C.

BrightMare makes a pass on Speed TV’s Pass Time

If you haven’t seen it yet, Speed TV invited us to bring our yellow Mustang to a special episode of Pass TIme in ’09 featuring racing celebrities as contestants. Casey Mears and his crew chief were our contestants, along with Ken Herring of course, guessing how fast we’d run. The car surprised everyone. This is an old engine combo that is now changed, but was still potent back then. Check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfGKMUb1GCA

Cory’s 304ci 2v build

Cory’s silver GT needed a worthy upgrade, so we build him a bulletproof mod motor to go with his YSi Vortech huffer under big boost. With a big bore BOSS block, DSS GSX pistons, Manley H-beam rods, a forged Cobra crank,, and some Trickflow Track Heat 2v heads with some mild street-friendly cams, this silver bullet laid down 668 hp to the rear wheels. That’s with a stock plastic intake, shorty headers, catted H-pipe, and on a safe pump-gas tune! Watch Cory’s dyno video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPC7BweBRL8
