COYOTE VS JUNKYARD LS-WHICH MAKES MORE HP? 5.0L YOTE VS 5.3L LS, STOCK, HCI MODIFIED AND HIGH RPM! 

I saw it as yet another pro-Chevy video. They alway put a limit on how much to spend and we all know the Chevy will always come out on top.

Same. Like we all know the coyote is the superior engine. LS is just cheap af

@@fredflintstone505 Eh, it's at least somewhat of a fair point, since most of us are on a budget. If we want to play the "unlimited budget" game, I'm not going to start with an LS *or* a Coyote.

@@jackcurrence263 Sure. But that's you. The point is if you set up a scenario where you have, say a $10,000 budget, and you pit an LS to a Coyote, you're letting the LS start at the 75-yard line in a 100-yard dash. Then acting surprised when the LS wins Then strutting around like it's superior when in fact they both have their strengths and weaknesses.

@@jackcurrence263hemi has entered chat😅

All ford engines are architecturally wayyyy bigger than they need/should be

Not its not😂 Supercharger/turbo, fuel system and opg= 1000hp on the Coyote try that with the Ls and see how much its gonna cost you

I’m always going for the Coyote!! Boost + RPM = Winning 🏆

@@Jimmyxsx yeah well that’s an old beat ass LSX that doesn’t have DI etc. put it against an LS3 different story, and the LS3 is old too & doesn’t have DI, the newest DI LTX GM V8s will crush a coyote mod for mod, nobody needs that many cams😜

That was a lotus designed engine. GM used them to develop the lt5 after they took major share of the company. GM ohc passenger engines were and are somewhat shit, they couldn't make a high performance ohc engine until recently. If GM w/o lotus designed and produced the lt5 in the same fashion it would have been a mess.

@@zztop7306 True, the LT5 could have been even better if GM was not hung up on the stupid 5.7 thing. GM dumped the zr1 back then because they bought the engines from Mercury Marine. GM at the time could have never built that engine

THE LT5 WAS DESIGNED BY LOTUS. FORD OWNED LOTUS UNDER A SUBSIDIARY. IN THE LATE 1980'S, FORD SOLD 70% OF LOTUS TO GM. FORD KEPT 30% OF LOTUS BEING THE ENGINE DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH DIVISION. SINCE GM HELD 70% INTEREST IN LOTUS. IT ALSO GAVE THEM ACCESS TO THE ENGINE DEVELOPMENT DIVISION. FORD DEVELOPED THE LT5 ENGINE FOR THE ZR1 AND MERCURY MARINER BUILT IT. YOUR MAGNETIC SUSPENSION USED IN THE CAMARO TODAY IS OLD TECHNOLOGY THAT CAME FROM LOTUS WHEN GM BOUGHT 70% OF LOTUS. THAT'S' IS ALSO A FORD DEVELOPMENT. BACK IN THE LATE EIGHTIES WHEN DALE EARNHARDT WAS RACING HIS MR GOODWRENCH CAR. THE ENGINE UNDER THE HOOD WAS CALLED THE CHAPMAN LOTUS V-8. IT WAS A 4.6 L SINGLE OVERHEAD CAM ENGINE. IT CAME FROM ENGLAND IN A CRATE AND WAS PUT DIRECTLY INTO DALE EARNHARDT'S MR GOODWRENCH CAR. THIS MOTOR GAVE HIM THE WINNING EDGE AND HE WAS BEATING ALL THE FORDS, IRONICALLY WITH A FORD MOTOR THAT THE ENGINEERS AT LOTUS USED AS A TEST BED. WHICH LATER ON BECAME THE FORD MODULAR MOTOR WE KNOW OF TODAY. I COULD SEE THE FACES ON THE FORD ENGINEERS THAT LOTUS LAUGHING THERE HEADS OFF WHEN GM AND DALE EARNHARDT AND THAT MR GOODRICH CAR WAS WINNING. AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF HOURS IN OPERATION. THE CHAPMAN LOTUS V-8 WAS REMOVED AND SENT BACK TO ENGLAND FOR EXAMINATION.

@@wilsoncombat1341 GM dumped the LT5 because it was too big and costly to justify putting into the C5

I understand what you're saying but you also have to consider how worth it it is. A flathead engine would look at your LS and say how much more complex the LS is, I'll stick with my flathead so I can quickly swap heads and cut complexity. But obviously OHV is worth the upgrade. It's a similar step towards OHC. Even as Rich said, the 5.0 really just needs a blower and fuel management to make crazy power, buying aftermarket cams and heads or opening it up at all isn't really needed. That said, I'm an old 302 guy, but I can admire the ingenuity put towards the coyote.

People give me hell when I even bring that up. I love both engines but god damn and Ls can fit in almost anything 😅.

Great point... the coyote is the greatest engine that won't fit in anything... thats why they're dropping ls' in everything

@@user-qr7ee2cp4y part of being a cam in block motor the better packaging. Those yote are physically very massive but damn they do good under boost 😏

@@zethloveless7238 They are quite rare as a swap in in Aus, 2 reasons, the Mustang is a new thing for Aus, only after Ford went belly up in only 2018 I think? And the Barra are like 800 bucks from a wrecker and fit a lot of cars as a swap a lot easier. The LS is everywhere but other swaps are starting to gain popularity due to a junk LS motor costing 3k+ now, and a good running one typically 5-7K.

@@3800S1 Barra swap the world 😉

Not really. Everyone knew what would happen. The pushrod design is an 80 year old technology. But that is also why they are so damn reliable and cheap. GM has perfected them.

Naturally...I like the screamer, but nothing a cheap good cam, intake ,& exhaust on LS can touch, but a lot simler...cheaper

even a Honda k24 engine swap is going to cost almost coyote money

@tturi2 those K24s are slick though. If I was doing a low weight build, I'd probably go turbo K24.

That’s a really big part of why the LS swap is so common. The engines are easy to find and are generally easy to fit in most things. The extra complexity and physical size makes a coyote swap a little tougher.

I sort of wanted to buy a new-ish Camaro or Mustang. I decided to just put a turbo 5.3 in my single cab '90 sierra instead. Instant N/A car destroyer.

When you say ls be specific because the LT1 2, and 3 are expensive asl to mod and to buy and still make less hp per dollar

you really shouldn't be... theres a reason he left out the dollar amount per hp... once you factor that and invest what you paid for the coyote mods that LS engine blows it out of the water.... ford would be great if they didnt cost a metric ton for almost everything

@@hotdog9262 well if you're trying to make more power, mpg doesn't really matter much.

It's very efficient in it's weight and handling, almost as good as the corvette. If i could test which one would get better mpg doing a lean burn, i would, but i can't. I'd still put it side by side with the camaro ss. But for mpg, weight, and handling, i would have to go with the corvette

​@@hotdog9262Wrong, a mustang will get better mpg. Compare the 2010 ss to the 2011 mustang gt

@@acunit1639 Yeah can't fault you there, can never go wrong with a Vette. Personally I'd love a C5 with an LS7.

Oh yah. Boosted big blocks are just absurd. Hell, a NA big block would whoop a Coyote and still probably be smaller. XD

Me too all I can afford are Dinosaurs

I mess with 500 Cadillac s too.

How can you compare and truck engine with 9.5.1 compression that makes 295hp from the factory to a engine that is 12.1 compression that makes 460hp from the factory? Change the pistons in the ls to 12.1 then compare them..with the swaps they made and the coyote only made a 100hp more than a low compression truck engine i would say that is a win for the LS! and the ls was a junkyard engine with a ton of miles on it..thats a no brainer!! LS all the way!!

​@@cnewell1971it wasn't a 12:1 engine. It was a gen 1 coyote engine.....

@@pheonixfps9248 ok then..11.1..my bad vs a wore out 9.5.1 engine...ls still wins!! Lol

depends on the generation of coyote block . otherwise they'll make as much as you can throw at them

No need for that. Everyone know the yote is the Kong of boost in stock trim

@@user-mm1se7gy7e they will!...what hp number was you at? Cause the Ls would leave the chat way before then.

​@@user-mm1se7gy7eit's pretty much been proven that the opg's let go because people keep bouncing off the rev limiter. There's tons of 1000hp coyotes running around with stock opg's with no issues. Just stay off the rev limiter.

Based on this video obviously not.

You are missing the point. Comparison here is about modifications/aftermarket support and availability not about the output of a behemoth Japanese v8

BOOST JUST MULTIPLES THE NA POWER-MORE NA POWER EQUALS MORE POWER AT ANY BOOST LEVEL

@@richardholdener1727 true, and you’re much much wiser than I’ll ever be Mr Holdener, but I see people make the mistake of camming their coyote when stock cams make 1300whp and it’s just money you don’t need to spend if you have a car with the coyote already installed. If you’re building a motor on a stand though, I can understand using cams as it’s a “down the road” engine.

​@@169abrexactly! You don't need much to make a stock unopened coyote hit 1000whp, unlike the LS...everything has to be upgraded!💯💯💯

@@andrewfitzgerald1174 BINGO! Coyote is no longer a Mustang Unicorn and Very available, also cheap considering you don't have to replace half the engine with VERY expensive parts. Plus tuned on OEM ECM

The gen 3 coyote would crush a newer 5.3.

Good to see someone who isn't blinded by their tribal alignments 👍🏻

​@@michaelrodgers6559 Chevy is clearly better though. What they managed to do with a dead simple pushrod V8 is impressive. A gen V LS would make more power still. If we want to talk dual overhead cam, the LT6 shattered all records.

@@michaelrodgers6559 All right man, tell me all about valve curtain area, bore shrouding, valve/chamber shrouding, and how Pro-Stock racing engines make 3hp per cubic inch at over 10,000rpm without 4v DOHC heads.

@@jameswade2002 I don't need to talk about any of that. My point is that VE does actually matter. It's physics.

@@michaelrodgers6559 Okay, let me clarify. VE is cam size and head flow at RPMs. JPS Racing shows Coyote heads showing about 290cfm stock and their worked over ones come in around 340cfm at .650" lift, even though none of their cams lift over .515" so it's more like a 315cfm head. LS3 heads flow that stock and Gen3 Hemi Apache heads blow them out of the water with 340cfm, so with enough RPMs all three engine families will get there, but the Coyote can't rev high enough to make more power than a stock LS3 with giant cam and long tubes spinning to 7,000rpm. So a discussion about VE and cylinder head flow is moot because Ford ain't even got what the other guys have, hence VE doesn't matter here, or anywhere else when we are taking about racy small blocks or kickass big blocks. The heads and cams are out there so only displacement matters because all of them can rev to the moon with solid roller cams and good springs. This test had to be engineered to let the Coyote win by limiting the bore size and thus head flow of the LS down to where Richard knew the Coyote could win because that is what the Ford guy want to see. Displacement is king, and nothing else on modern engines matters.

A lot of people are diching the coyote swaps and going to the 7.3 godzilla. It's a lot easier to swap as it has a smaller footprint.

​@@pastorofmuppets2349no idea why. More weight, less power.

i like the newer LS 7 427 with 4 valve per cylinder dual over head cams 860 hp stock with out boost but i am a 454 bbc fan

Very 1st set of mods the heads on the LS was replaced with very expensive aftermarket.

​@@jeffrey4547Someone made a document conversion for it? With that bore size and the 40 to 44mm intake valves those probably flow 400cfm without being touched up to 450cfm with porting. Or enough to make 1100 or so he naturally aspirated.

yeah. he said that @12:20 I think its a more relevant test for people that already have a coyote engine car, vs building a LS for it. Even though I am a LS fan, as the current Camaro sucks so bad at being a nice street car, I ended up buying a new mustang instead. It feels slow, but thats mostly because there are no sudden peaks of power, combined with the stupid traction control system keeping me from ever being near breaking the tires loose.

Most people do not go 6.2 LS or bigger. This is an incorrect statement. All the LS craze is from the cheap LS based 4.8 and 5.3 that boost is added to. Cheap, accessible...etc. It's ok to admit both platforms are good. ;)

I think the direct injection gen 3 is a whole different scenario... Almost wish it had a different name or something to distinguish it more, most dont even know they went direct in 2018+. Changes the abilities and cost probably a solid 10-30%

Plus you get the extra RPM to play with

@@rocsti5402 the gen 2 is the best engine, when you get to big boy power they DI is deleted and you stick to port injection. Gen 3 is fantastic up to ~1200whp which is an insanely high ceiling for 5.0L and stock cams.

Amen brother!!

They could call it King Kong or Zeus or something..

Look up Ford Godzilla

@@klyfhutto572 all i get is some nissan gtr thing , maybe they should have built it 10-20 years ago when mercedes & the rest of the world was wrapping up on it instead of waiting so long...

@@klyfhutto572 Yeah…that’s a pushrod engine…not even close to the Coyote

@scottythebody0811 Glad you found it. You're correct. It's not as efficient as the coyote, but it would be interesting to compare it to the LS 7. The Coyote, naturally aspirated cubic inch to cubic inch, is an amazing engine. Mast Motorsports has made some aftermarket stuff for the Godzilla. Maybe some other companies also.

Its not s coyote

Go take your meds pumpkin 😘✌️

A Foxbody 5.0 Windsor is not a 5.0 coyote lol.

​@@Swerzuhplease highlight at what point I said it was sweetie

Coyote is a whole different animal

Corvette 5.7 LS6 made 420 flywheel Factory..i think..

Not really......the coyotes strength has always been boost. They make bigger power on boost than the GM or dodge motors especially when you compare stock sealed motors. Gen 3 coyotes can make 1200 hp no problem on a stock sealed motor with nothing but boost and the supporting mods for said boost. They can do all this without blowing up. The same cannot be said for LS or LT motors.

Those fast food places all suck

Coyote certainly has more potential, but the LS does have a leg up in price and packaging.

@@BrendanCBreen yeah a coyote doesn’t fit in anything but mustangs, other fox and panther chassis cars and things that a big block hemi would fit in….

Incorrect $for $ more power from a ls all day . Don't matter if a 500 hp or 3k hp build cost is cost and just more bang per $ spent. If it was other way around everything would have a coyote and not a ls 😂 sane goes for hemi Big power / big $$ lol

@@Bill-flatplanefoolthey fit in a 62 falcon so if i can fit one in there they will fit in nearly any stock chassis especially mid sized chassis or unibody for the wordsmiths out there

@@roderickvinson3425 there is no reliable 3000 hp LS motor other than Steve Morris’s billet stuff and if you think you can get that anywhere near the price of Brett LaSalle’s sleeved coyote you can share proof any time

call MMR. Modular Motorsport Racing. they probably have the best bang for the buck in terms of rotating assembly cost. 2,599.99 for a 1000rwhp crank rod pistons set up with rings and bearings. Even less if that crank is undamaged and you just need rods and pistons. Assuming the crank got damaged where it rides on the main that was compromised, you'll want a new crank. I don't think they take as well to crank cutting and spinning 8000+ rpm on larger bearings, like LS's get away with when spinning them to 6500 in a mild truck or car build. anyway back to MMR. great parts to buy, just questionable if they machine and assemble lol.

Just curious how someone managed to spin a main in a gen 2 coyote. Those are the most stout generation of the coyote so far. Unless the previous owner ran it with no oil for a while.

@@edmundnlemadim8480 the engine I got had the MMR timing chain guides MMR tensioners and secondary tensioner, MMR oil pump gear. Some trick stuff.

@@Swerzuh It had a big ol centrifugal super charger on it. The kids dad bought the mustang for him at the dealer I work at and a year later it came in with the engine knocking lol.

@benkrom2737 physically the difference between the ls and coyote is only a inch or less in most cases Measurements H x W x L if the front of the ls not dressed with any accessories mounted it is 26"s wide 30" with accessories the coyote is 29" with accessories, the ls is 22"s tall where the coyote is only 20.5"s. The 5.0 coyote in not a piece of crap 4.6 mod motor it's a total ground up redesign.

Exactly

Well thats a gen 1 coyote. just admit the coyote is better.

@enigma9789 coyote is better at some things, LS is better at others. I'm not loyal to either, I'm just an engine guy. I'm just saying that personally it would be cool to see 2 identical builds and then look at the differences. The biggest difference between the 2 (besides architecture) is the compression, so be cool to see what that alone does to the 2 power curves.

​@ryancompeau146 lol LS or LT tows better but even a tuned 6.2 struggles to keep up with just a tune gen 3 coyote. Mpg better and coyote is faster

@justingill5256 lol. Depends which 6.2 your talking about, and which Coyote your talking about. Truck engines? 6.2 has it beat in hp and tq. If the 5.0 is faster its because of the truck not the power. Talking Mustang 5.0 vs 6.2 LT2, again 6.2 has it beat in power. Displacement is a wonderful thing. Even if they had the same peak power, the 6.2 average power just eats it. Mpg you cant really debate because that is to driver dependent.

Of course it's complicated an ls is. Just a reversed engineered Ford 60s engine

Enginemasters did it. They used a 2nd hand truck 5.0 too. So the baselines were actually close. But in the end the coyote is just way more money in every facet. You can say "but what if money is no object?" Then you wouldn't start with a junkyard 5.3 either.

Coyote cams are a lot easier to swap than LS.

how do cams kill dolphins?

the Yote vs LS3 vid is up-but the motor that makes more na power-will make more under boost

@@richardholdener1727 Alot of variables there but in theory yes with assumptions. But in the real world those limitations start showing up quick near max effort.

@@richardholdener1727 if your sleeving the Lt/Ls and doing a rod piston swap then id say thats plausible. Im talking bolt ons and stock rotating assembly, bolt on power adder.

agreed

Size is an issue with the Coyote but the weight isn't. They are pretty close when the block material is aluminum and even CG isn't that bad with the DOHC engine either (LS is right around the crank and Coyote is a little higher). The iron block engines of course are heavier than a Coyote obviously.

The truck coyote is almost identical aside from firing order.

​@@Prestiged_peckcams

That would be Ford's 7.3L Godzilla engine...

@@BobbyOfEarth Which is essentially a big LS with less aftermarket support. Would be fun to destroke one sleeve for the widest bore then run high rpm.

But 2018 gen3 coyote make to bigger power ...

I agree with everything you said. If I had the money, I'd be a MoPar man, but I don't, so I'm a GM guy. Nothing against Ford, but they don't work as well for the most part and cost way more while being hard to find parts for. Coyote motors are probably going to make great power, but they're huge and expensive and 5.3s (even aluminum block ones like the two I own) are cheap, light, small, and really are just amazingly reliable and modifiable with a whole UNIVERSE of aftermarket support.

THE CHEVY GUYS WILL TAKE HIS HEAD OFF WITH A GUILLOTINE FOR TELLING THE TRUTH LIKE THEY DID TO JOHN THE BAPTIST. NO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS HERE ON MY PART WHEN IT COMES TO TELLING THE TRUTH. NONE OF YOU PEOPLE HERE, INCLUDING THE FORD GUYS HAVE NO IDEA WHY FORD MOTORS COST MORE TO BUILD AND WHY PARTS WERE HARD TO GET. SO LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD. IT WAS ALL BASED ON CHEATING BY THE NHRA WHO ARE ANOTHER DIVISION FOR GM TO PROTECT THE PHONY CHEVY RACING DYNASTY. WHEN THE FORD 289 DEBUTED IN THE 60S. THEY WERE CONSTANTLY CHANGING THE RULE BOOK AND RULES BOTH WRITTEN ON UNWRITTEN TO DISCOURAGE ANYBODY FROM RUNNING IT. IT WAS A MAJOR THREAT TO THE SMALL CHEVY. IN THE COBRAS, THE SMALL BLOCK FORD WAS DESTROYING THE CORVETTES WITH THEIR 327'S. THE CORVETTES WERE NO COMPETITION. IN 1964, THE DAYTONA COUPE DESTROYED FERRARI AND WON LEMANS BY ALMOST 40 MINUTES AND WERE CLOCK AT OVER 200 MPH. SOMETHING THE CHEVY SMALL-BLOCK COULD ONLY DREAM OF DOING. IT HELD A TOP SPEED RECORD AT BONNEVILLE AT 183 MPH RIGHT BEHIND THE CHEVY 396 BIG BLOCK CLOCKED AT 186 MPH. WITH THAT SMALL CUBIC INCH THE FORD WAS THREE MILES PER HOUR SLOWER THAN THE CHEVY 396 BIG BLOCK. EVERYWHERE THE COBRA SHOWED UP AT RACE TRACKS HERE IN AMERICA. THEY MAULED DOWN THE CORVETTES. IN THE QUARTER MILE THE 289'S WERE FIERCE COMPETITORS. IF YOU SHOWED UP WITH A CERTAIN SETUP AND WON THE CLASS. THE NEXT TIME YOU CAME BACK TO THE RACETRACK. THE RULES ON THE MOTOR WERE CHANGE AND YOU COULDN'T RACE. OVERNIGHT THEY WERE CHANGING THE RULES ON THE SMALL BLOCK FORD. IT GOT SO BAD THAT THE SMALL BLOCK FORD DISAPPEARED OFF THE QUARTER MILE. BY THE EARLY SEVENTIES ONLY TWO GUYS WERE RUNNING THE SMALL BLOCK FORD 289. BUY CHANGING THE RULES ON THE SMALL BLOCK FORD, NEITHER WOULD FORD NOR ANY AFTERMARKET MANUFACTURER MAKE RACE PARTS IN VOLUME WHICH MADE PARTS AFFORDABLE AND CHEAP, FOR THE SMALL BLOCK FORD THAT WOULD BE OUTLAWED OVERNIGHT WHERE THEY WOULD GET STUCK WITH A WAREHOUSE FULL OF SCRAP METAL. NOT UNTIL 1987 WAS A RACE HEAD AVAILABLE FOR THE SMALL BLOCK FORD WHEN TRICKFLOW MADE THEM, "THAT IS RIDICULOUS" AND THE END RESULT OF THE NHRA DID, HENCHMEN FOR CHEVY OUTLAWING RACE PARTS FOR THE FORD'S. I REMEMBER TALKING TO A GUY WHO BUILT THE CAMARO BACK IN THE SIXTIES AND SAID HE WANTED TO BUILD A FORD SO BAD. BUT THE PARTS FOR THE SMALL BLOCK FORD WERE SO EXPENSIVE HE COULDN'T AFFORD THEM. HE SAID HE WORKED IN A DELI AND MADE PRETTY GOOD MONEY AND PUT LONG HOURS IN. AND EVERY PAYCHECK HE MADE WENT INTO HIS SMALL BLOCK CAMARO. HE SAID IMAGINE IF HE BUILT A FORD. HE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THREE JOBS TO AFFORD TO BUILD A FORD. MOST OF YOUR ENGINES FROM PONTIAC, BUICK, OLDSMOBILE, CHRYSLER, AMC ARE OF A CONVENTIONAL ENGINE DESIGN THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE CHEVY SMALL BLOCK. THE CHRYSLER SMALL BLOCK IS A BETTER MOTOR BY DESIGN THAN THE CHEVY MOTOR. SO TELL ME WHY THE SMALL BLOCK CHRYSLER NEVER REACHED THE SUPREMACY IN RACING OF THE SMALL BLOCK CHEVY. TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION: THE NHRA DETERMINED THE SMALL BLOCK CHEVY TO WIN THAT'S WHY. IF THE CHEVY SMALL-BLOCK WAS BETTER THAN A SMALL BLOCK FORD. THEN WHY DID THEY SCRAP THE OLD SMALL BLOCK CHEVY AND REDESIGN A NEW SMALL BLOCK YOUR LS WHICH IS A MILLION PERCENT BASED ON ALL FORD DESIGN. IT'S A REGURGITATED FORD 427 HIGH RISER AKA RAISED PORT 351 WINDSOR. NOT ONE DESIGN ASPECT OF THE OLD SMALL BLOCK CHEVY LIVES IN THE LS. THE LS IS ALL FORD IN DESIGN. IN MY OPINION THE MOST CRIMINAL THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN RACING IS CHEVY/GM COPYING FORD AND MAKING THE LS MOTOR. IF ANY OF YOU CHEVY GUYS WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THE FORD CHEVY CONTROVERSY FEEL FREE TO DO SO.
