5.0L Coyote Adrenalin

Our latest in-house project is our 2008 Sport Trac Adrenalin that originally featured the anemic 4.6 3v engine. Ford decided not to build us an awesome powerplant in these trucks as they did in their 2005 Concept version, so we’ve decided to take matters into our own hands. We’ve already experimented with a complete Shrader Performance built supercharged 5.4L 3v engine in this truck. But with the limited abilities of the 6-speed Auto transmission, and it’s gas guzzling nature, we’re now going to try an all new approach.

As the title already suggests, we’ve dumped a completely new engine and manual transmission swap from a 2011 Mustang GT. Converting an auto truck to a manual is not an easy undertaking, but we like doing things the hard way, and staying unique. So get ready for some amazing burnouts and high RPM blasts, because this Adrenalin is going to become the first of its kind to live up to its name!

UPDATE: Our Adrenalin is now up and running and has made its maiden voyage. We finally got the hydraulic clutch system figured out after lots of frustrating attempts to get it right. We have a few more bugs to work out and we’ll be ready for some tuning at Pro-Dyno so we can unleash the 400 rear-wheel horsepower we expect this truck to make in its current form.
