    What year did they start putting them in the F150?

    Yes, from my minimal internetting it looks like the stock guts on the 1UZ dont really like to see much more than 450hp and that number should be hit with pretty low boost with a turbo.

        I believe it was 2011.

        You know, we can't discount the Nissan VK series.  These are high potential engines that nissan used in the GT-R and Z Super GT race cars and the VK56DE is used in the Australian V8 Supercar Altima.  (I never thought I would say Altima and Supercar in the same sentence.)

            Make sure its a body your not afraid to cut up.  From what I have heard the coyote won't fit between the shock towers without modification to the car.  But that'd be a kick ass car!

                    I'll give you a solid opinion on an LS in a BMW next week...1UZ doesn't make much power so I'd rule that out straight away. A Ferrari V8 out of a Maserati would be cool. You can pick one up for around $4-5k. The sound alone would be worth it.

                          Fine

                          Ford flat head with a welded 4.10 so it could barely do burnouts.

                                  It would be interesting to see an older small block (Chevy 283 mopar 2 something or other). It needs barley any wires to run, toss heads and cams on it and be done. Not to mention they are dirt cheap to find

                                    Read. Ferrari v8 out of a Maserati. There's one with 40k on ebay for $4300. You're almost as bad as sir Kaiser.

                                        It's nothing special. I just love the fact that dodge has the guts to put a 707hp engine in a rental car and sell it to the general public for a fairly accessible price.

                                        But.... This is special IMO, I just wish they could've fit equal length headers

                                          Flathead with Ardun OHV conversion.

                                          Or...

                                          A rover V8 in a 2002 or e21 would be neat.
