Today's teardown is a 5.0L Gen1 Coyote V8 Engine from a 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT. This 420hp, 390lbft of torque V8 is a core return from a local salvage yard. I don't always get details on these engines but I was told this was from a 2013 with 126k miles however many date codes inside say otherwise so I'm not sure that info is reliable. Being it was a core, I didn't get a full story with what happened to it. I don't buy a ton of coyote core engines because they are pricey and often hurt so bad there's no money to be made parting them out. Only the right set of circumstances make buying a Gen1 coyote a sensible endeavor. Overall, I quite like the gen1 and gen2 coyote engines and I think with average or better care they can last quite a while.

Thanks to ‪@TheMeganBerg‬ for the cameo 🤣

Every week you can find a new engine teardown on this channel, sometimes more often! With over 3 years worth of weekly teardowns, there's a good chance I've done the engine you are requesting. Here are a few of my favorites:

Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto recycling business. Part of our model includes buying and dismantling blown up, core and bad engines to salvage the good parts and recycle the rest. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do.

I really. hope you enjoyed this teardown. As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!

    Is anyone else so sick of the timing chain guides joke that you skip ahead to avoid that same joke for the several hundred time? It's time you give Thor's daughter her hammer back too lol. Now that's a joke 😎 lol

    You and your lady girl wife made me laugh so hard that I may have pissed myself... thanks 🎉😂

    Did we get a Mrs. I Do Cars cameo? Sir, you definitely owe her a nice steak dinner or something, (and no, a used water pump is not an acceptable gift.) Thanks for the vid sir.
  • @steveblackbird
    The shot of water out of the plug hole was absolute gold!! Hahahahaha
  • @tsimpson007
    I got to tell you Eric watching Ray unpack that engine i just could not stop laughing. Well done sir.
  • @scooterwoodley195
    Eric, A bonus suggestion. On one of these teardowns, please consider dingle ball honing a scrap block with surface rust or minor scratches so we can see benefits/limitations. Your camera is so good I think it would be cool to see what could be done. Please and thank you.

    I only just noticed Eric’s wife was reading a brochure for the 1996 Mazda Miata. She truly is his soulmate. 😅❤
  • @N4CR5
    That was hilarious you two, absolutely did not see that cameo coming xD
  • @bubbafett2328
    As a Chevy guy I hope all the coyote guys take care of their motors and enjoy them.

    A relative left a car for an oil change, sometime after the oil was drained but not refilled somebody went for a joyride and killed the engine. When picked up it was full of fresh oil.

    As always, thanks for the Saturday night entertainment Eric. Oh, and as a bit of a nerd, I'm waiting for the night you call the cam phasers the cam photon torpedos. :D

    This could be a series within a series. Annual August 5.0 Coyote tear down.
  • @haroldbenton979
    Made for O'Reilly auto parts standard filter for valvline instant oil change places and smaller business owned places. More than likely the owner got the jiffy lube special. We dumped the oil changed the filter forgot the oil then when we started it up it started to knock and we realized our mistake. So we dumped oil into it praying that we were fine but nope we just bought another engine.

    Thaank god it's Saturday night! Something decent to watch on youtube, besides reruns of course!
  • @theprobeius
    The cutaways are quickly becoming some of my favorite humorous segments of these teardowns!
  • @ryanhoaglin9907
    Hi Eric. Love your channel. Previous Ford tech here. I'm betting that engine got ran low on oil. I've seen damage from forgetting to put any in and you will see destruction on almost all the bearings. The two you had were damaged toward the back of the crank which is furthest from the pump. Seen a ton of 2v mod motors just like this.
  • @bdo9114
    The look on you're face when the water shot out , still laughing.
  • @mshotz1
    Every time I hear Coyote I think of it falling off a cliff or having a rock fall on its head.
