Ford Coyote 5.0L V8-powered 2011 Ford Ranger - Click above for high-res image gallery
Well, this certainly sounds dangerous awesome. What you are looking at is a brand-new 5.0-liter Coyote V8 - you know, the one found in the Ford Mustang (http://autoblog.com/model/mustang) - shoehorned under the hood of a 2011 Ford Ranger (http://autoblog.com/tag/ranger) pickup. Talk about a Danger Ranger.
This engine swap comes to us courtesy of S197Forum.com (http://s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59436) member John, who works for Blow By Racing (http://www.blowbyracing.com/) in Delray Beach, Florida. John states that one of his customers brought in this 2011 Ranger and brought it to the shop for a serious power upgrade. As if the 5.0-liter V8 wasn't enough, this Ranger will also be fitted with a Kenne Bell Mammoth supercharger and a Tremec Magnum T-56 transmission to handle all of the extra grunt.
The finished product should be a total hoot to drive. Let's just hope the suspension (and brakes!) are getting a solid improvement, as well. Head over to S197Forum.com (http://s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59436) to see the build process.This is what a Coyote 5.0L V8 looks like in a 2011 Ford Ranger (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/13/this-is-what-a-coyote-5-0l-v8-looks-like-in-a-2011-ford-ranger/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Wed, 13 Jul 2011 19:01:00 EST.
