What's It Like to Drive a Supercharged Coyote Swapped 4wd Ford?

- Опубликовано: 3 фев 2021
- We just finished up this Supercharged Coyote-swapped 1976 4x4 F150 and we're super excited about it. We completely went through every aspect of this truck to make sure it was perfect for our customer. We opted to use the original Ford factory two tone paint for a nostalgic feel, but the brand new interior we did is anything but. It almost feels like a brand new F150 inside the cab, with a few classic twists. We used our FFG Mustang Seat Brackets to install these bucket seats out of a Mustang, and they're extremely comfortable and prevent sliding across the road while putting this Whipple Supercharged coyote swap to the test on the road. Speaking of sliding, we used our Ford Pickup Seat Belt Retractor Covers to house the seat belts, and boy do they look good. (Links below). We added an FFG billet dome light to brighten up the interior. We also used the original factory grill and side trims. The Coyote with a 10 speed automatic transmission cooks down the road and it's an absolute blast to drive. Tons of horsepower with this thing for a vintage truck, especially for a longbed. It doesn't get much better than this! Stay tuned for some little burnouts at the end...

To the (many) comments mad about me saying I don't like loud exhaust: If you heard how loud it was in person, it would surprise you. The customer was very happy we changed it. It's perfect. The client was glad that I was in tune with his needs properly, and I have a stewardship to do the right thing for the client and build, especially if he doesn’t know exactly what to expect. If he came back after and said he did want it louder, we wouldn't hesitate to make those adjustments. Thanks for your feedback though!
Beautiful truck. Let people complain, this truck is perfect. Like you said there is nothing worse than exhaust drone. Well done sir.
@@ryanhudelson6377 Appreciate it!
@@FatFenderGarage back when I was 17 I liked loud exhaust 2... I wanted to hear exhaust over the engine ,the radio, my girlfriend, my mom and now that I'm older, I like to actually hear the engine... the radio, and sometimes my wife...
People who belly ache about not having a loud exhaust have not built enough trucks to understand how annoying that gets after pro long use !!! its no fun when you have to scream to your friends while driving or driving home after a nasty hangover...lol
I love it !!
How much for a truck like that ?
If us Chevy Boys were to ever say "Well there was this one Ford" THIS WOULD BE THE ONE!
Not gonna lie, I am a big Chevy guy myself, my current ride is a fairly mint 82 C20 Silverado, under 125k miles and everything works like a dream. Previous pickup to this was a 1972 C20 that was pretty rough but so much fun. I think a lot of us can agree a lot of the classic (60's-70's and some 80's) trucks and cars were all pretty nice and works of art especially when restored like this beauty.
I always liked the look of the 70's Ford pickups myself.
You got that right . my dad is a Ford guy and I’m the Chevy gm lover but if there is any Ford I could have it’d be his early 80’s f150 short bed 4x4 lifted lariat with the green and white 2 tone . I wish I could find it but he sold it before I was born . This would be a Very close second just cause of sentimental reasons
Yeah, that new Chevy blazer is amazing! They gave us Chevy fan boys exactly what we wanted!
Hah yep
The 302 coyote is the the new Chevy 350.
Classy, not flashy, sensational, yet sensible, a man’s truck, yet a woman would like: well done!
Bingo
You mean the states truck?
@@Youhaverights6 🐪
Gave the state title over his what once was private property now public interest.
I’m honestly thinking about changing the hole plan of my truck to build this, was gonna go full ok’d school cool with a big block 460 and Narly c6 trans and full old school cool on the out side, but I’m gonna find a happy medium of old school kool on the out side but modern day drive ability and ability to pass a gas station underneath
I clicked on this immediately and trust me I'm no Ford guy
Me too
This guy is my neighbor the one who owns it
I bet you are now ! LoL 😆
@@jojohintz if that’s true, do you think it would be for sale?
@@muricaman991 just buy a 4WD ford truck and put the mustang 5.0 in it with supercharger. the motor plus the supercharger are around 25k complete. then comes the wiring.
BadAss Pickup. Literally out of my dreams.
I'll give you that it is bad-ass looking but also makes huge-holes into pockets and in owner budget..
what is the miles/g or monthly consumption if truck is driven daily of this bad-ass truck.. huh ?!
See what i'm talking about here.. imagine all the taxes for this bad-ass truck and be glad is out of your dreams !
In my dream, my wife says: "You're right honey. Your always right" and continues grilling my steak.
@@poplaurentiu4148 if u live in a shit taxes in tn less than 100 a year on this truck
@@poplaurentiu4148 dude if you have a truck like this you don’t give a shit about miles per gallon! Man up
One of the best restomod trucks ever! Just love the ‘73-‘79 trucks. Ordered a new one back in ‘79. 4x2 loaded with 460. 7250.00 way back then. Still have order form.
They didn't come with 460s from the factory, 400m was the biggest motor you could get.
@@westonharby165 absolutely did. I have order form. Have owned many of them.
@@westonharby165 460 starting in 1974. F150’s and 250’s
@@randysrestoration I have '79 f350 that used to my my great grandpas farm truck, while it was a custom, the only option it didn't have was A/C. It had 4x4, power steering, front disk brakes, and the biggest motor you could get a 400m.
@@westonharby165 that’s because it was a 4x4.
If you read what I typed I said one i ordered was a 4x2
My grandpa handed down to me his truck before he passed. It was this same model and year, I fixed it upand updated a lot of things on it but the way you guys redid this one is inspiring and absolutely amazing. Great work.
If I ever win the lottery Jason will be the first guy I call. This truck is PERFECT!
I mean... this truck wouldn't cost you much more than a brand new Ford. Which is the reason why I never understand people buying new vehicles when you could get something very close to this.
@@DaroffApFire yeah I guess you are right .
You've built some really nice trucks man ( no pimp my ride garbage) . it's amazing how you restore and still give it a modern touch and still keep the authenticity of it. Thats a real fine line many builders haven't found... Your team of mechanics ( shop crew) must be extremely proud of every truck they build.
Thank you someone else that couldn't stand PMR. They did all this work on a car or truck but then leave the busted work out powertrain in it. The add extra weight with all the sound system, gadgets and gizmos, added massive power draw on the alternator and put bigger rims and tires on for a tired transmission not to mention the extra weight from stereo system. They actually did another thing later on bof how's the ride doing and found that alot of those rides were broken down in a yard because they never did anything with the powertrain. Here in this video though it looks like they went from the ground up. the frame looks like it is powder coated, it's clean from top to bottom, sounds amazing and nothing looks out of place or rigged. I absolutely love that supercharger whine too. So yes I agree with you it's not done like PMR would do and just polish a turd sprinkle new stuff on it and say surprise.... we gave you an awesome lawn ornament, it won't go anywhere but it's got rimz and a system so you can chill at home and be the envy of every prepubescent boy in the surrounding trailer park area. Thanks xibit you gave me an expensive chair so I can sit and watch others drive while while I sit and pretend to drive dawg. Thanks for reading my rant on that waste of an afternoon MTV used to show before they sold the company to Rob Drydickhead.
You’ve gotta make sure it’s not gonna break when the customer does a burnout. Burnouts are necessary before delivery.
Thats how I felt when I was sixteen .
I agree 100%. All these channels on here selling classic sports cars I always tell them if they'd turn them tires over one time, show a little smoke off of them, they would sell em faster. I'm sorry but if the car can't do a burnout, that's a negative to me. I'd like to see that big boy light em up one time but he's going to talk us to death.
@SuperDave Miorgan someone’s masculinity is at stake 😂
@SuperDave Miorgan what does buying a new vehicle have to do with shit? I did once and realized how stupid it was for me to do that. Not everyone...but for me it was. How many custom classics have you built with your bare hands? I bet you pay someone to change your oil, don't you? See how that works?
@SuperDave Miorgan how did you suspect anything about me? I made one comment to you. Lol
This guy is so knowledgeable yet seems so down to earth
What else can you say? This is just a surreal truck and something that exists in my dreams. Astonishing what you guys have been able to accomplish. Best truck I've seen this year.
Can’t describe how beautiful this is
I honestly don't think I've wanted a truck nearly as bad as I want this exact one. I'm just beside myself right now.
SHE IS GORGEOUS!! The 70s Ford trucks are my favorite era of Ford. Keep them coming.
Wow! This guy really knows what he is doing. I really like how this truck turned out. The sound, the power, and everything else. If I ever win the lottery, I will be having this guy restore my 77 F-150.
You guys rock! Know What’s even better? the products you make available to the average consumer! No other company in this market makes products like fat fender! I’ve dealt with you numerous times while building my truck and your customer service is some of the best as well. Thank you for your great work, it’s much appreciated!
I daily a 79 Bronco and look forward to every minute of it. Wish I had 500hp tho!!!
ive got a 79 2wd long box and with a around 300hp it can be silly enough to get you in trouble. 500hp would be nice though
Phones are definitely listening to us. Im a Chevy guy and was talking to my coworkers yesterday about how I liked the 76 Ford Pickups..and BAM, here it is in my recommended. Cool truck!
i have a 1978 ford 150. looks a lot like that, owned it over 9 years, bought it at about 17 yrs old. it has the inline 6 300. its been running well this while time with very minor upkeep.
You do an incredible job at building trucks. Especially the old fords
Heck yeah! Finally a video of this truck running and driving! My favorite build you guys have done so far for sure 😉
Such an awesome car, you can really see how much time and effort you’ve put in to make it as nice as it is and then make it available to the public. I hope you sell a million of them mate!!
Our family had a 1970 Ranger F250, this brings back so many memories. What a great job guys.
Love the truck. Beautiful work. My dad had a '75 Ford, basic truck, 390ci with an oil bath filter, 4spd manual. I remember when we added power steering to it and ultimately when the power steering failed on Christmas day in the late 80's. I was driving the truck home and with each turn was adding more steering wheel turns until one left turn where the steering completely failed. It was like having a roulette wheel in front of me, the complete absence of steering. After getting the truck towed home, we began tearing down the steering and rebuilt the steering box. I remember trying to get the new bearings in the steering gear, installed them, got the truck together and went for a drive. After one right turn the truck would only turn left, would jam up going right. Got it back to the garage, tear down the steering again, had to re-install the bearings again in the recirculating ball and nut steering gear. Together again, road test again, this time it would jam up with left turns and would only turn right. So a series of right turns back to the garage to fix again. Third time got it right, installed the bearings, they stayed in place and the repair was good. The truck still exists and is used on a friends farm. Would love to bring it back and make it new again like this F150.
Not that you haven't already but... you build trucks like this and you build a name for yourself real quick! Awesome job! FFG FTW!!!
I applaud and appreciate that you drive your builds and thoroughly inspect then touch up before you let them go to the owners
Brings back so many memories I had a 77 f150 long bed ! Loved that truck ! Bad ass truck just like you said ! right on dude!
I absolutely love this restomod you did, it's my favorite truck and generation of the Ford F-150, the F-100 are also sweet. Someone had deep pockets.
Perfect execution! Long beds are the way to go!
Ok had to stop the Vid at your age and the weight loss, Dude that made me so happy, plus I was Born in 76 and I've always loved 76 ford's. I would just like to ride in it . Awesome build and good luck on hitting the gym 💪 35lbs is alot over 40. Much love and respect. Hope your customer is happy 😊. Now back to the show.
Thank you for the video! I have an older 89 F250 Custom model 2 wheel drive that I have over the years been dabbling with. I bought it 16 years ago after it's entire drivetrain was redone. Since then I've gone through it a couple times refreshing and changing little things for better performance. When I bought it, it was designed to haul a camper, with 16 1/2" rims and bias ply tires. I took it to 17" with all season radials. What a difference! With everything I had done over the years and gone around the USA 3 times working I really have enjoyed this truck. When I felt it needed a complete overhaul in March of 2021, I was still getting 19mpg on average with or without a load including through the mountains, (if I kept my foot out of it). Just normal driving and it could be a lot of fun!
In September I was done with all the machining and new, new parts. Fired it up, warmed it up and sounded great! This was 10PM, so shut it off for the night to test drive the next day.
Morning came and fired it up, let it warm up and went to back out of my Godfathers shop here in Washington.. He used to race so it was the perfect shop to rebuild it in. Like a switch was thrown it started thumping hard, jumped out and crawled underneath. Something in the area of the mains went. Backed it over by a tree, bought a plane ticket and went back to my ranch in Nevada. Turned out to be the oil pump torque on the bolts that came with it didn't hold. Never heard of bolts coming with the oil pump yet they did. The other odd thing was the pump housing holes were threaded, and hadn't seen that before! Bolts went right in and torqued to specs.
In March of 22, I came back and pulled the engine, then took to a friends professional engine shop in Olympia WA and had it completely redone with a guarantee! The transmission I had done at another friends pro shop here in Olympia. Looking forward to many more years of enjoyment! Thank you for your video! I love to watch and see what others are doing with vehicles. This is my first time seeing your channel and not the last! All the best to you and your!
Such a killer truck! Love the 4x4 Lwb.
Absolute perfection! Only thing I “may” change is do a power window conversion, but that’s only a maybe.
I couldn't pull a better truck out of my dreams! Never cared much for resto- mod's, but you changed my mind! A thing of beauty. WOW!!!
Hell yes. So well put together. Badass
Man I love this. I'd buy this before any new f150. Gotta get these before Bidens Paris Accords bans all the gas and old models trucks from the highway.
vintage vehicles have always been exempt from any requirements of the paris accord. they would have had problems 5 years ago when we joined.
probably costs as much or more.
I wouldn't. I need a vehicle to drive.
@David Metcalf engine itself is around 25 grand
You might well get two of them for the price tag on this one 🤔
What an amazing build hats off to you guys! I am a Highboy fan and cannot believe how cool this is I am diehard old school but this is one for the books!
Now this is the best upgrade I've seen! Great-looking Dentside Ford!
My sister owned a truck like this. I wish I has bought it when she sold it. Spectacular work on this one.
DUDE!!! love this build! This was the same model I had for my first truck and I'd love to build something like this! Job well done guys!
This thing is jaw dropping, I’m drooling 🤤 as we speak. Beautiful truck!
What a Great Job 👍 really knocked it out the park . Love the modern perks with the vintage looks
this set up is pretty much my dream truck ive always loved the later mid 70's ford best design ever, short cab long box perfect, only down fall its not loud enough ;) need to hear that horsepower
Beautiful badass FORD!👍🇺🇸
Best truck I’ve ever laid my eyes on😩😩...supercharger sounds so good.
Just wow. The truck got me here, your passion and decision making on the restorations kept me here. New sub!
I miss my 73 high boy 🥺. 360 2v granny , radio delete no ps no pb. Had 310,000 miles when i bought out of the California desert. Bought from orig owner , motor was never opened up. Sat for 15 years. Took me a fuel filter, clean gas and a batter and it fired up on second try 🤘🏼. Ran perfect
great work guys.... I keep saying it "one day I will have you build me a truck" :) Awesome Job Fat Fender
Damn, my perfect retirement ride!!!
Beautiful truck. My grandpa had a 78 F150 2 tone brown 4wheel drive 4speed I loved it
That truck is just stunning. Well done.
Badass rig - great work guys, as always! ..and lookin' good Jason, I thought something was a little different from past videos.
78-79 is my favorite of the Fords of that era. Would be cool to see a old F series done with that new 7.3 gas engine. The 6.2 would not be a bad one to see swapped in a old F150 also.
I'm actually looking at doing a 7.3 swap. Just thinking about it right now.
Yes. This one. Absolutely spot on- would LOVE to own this truck. Great job!
That is absolutely beautiful. Wow!
WOW... My dad had an old Ford & I'm overly impressed by the classic and sound of this rig! Dam, I think I want to do something like this!
Beautiful truck! Actually a bucket seat / consul combo that looks classic and suits the truck very nicely. I daily drive a 76 F150 Ranger 4x4. I just finished a frame off restoration so I’m partial to these trucks.
this is my dream build!!!! thats a beautiful truck!!!! I attempted to build this on deployment money when I was in the army but I got no where lol awesome truck gives you that all american retro feel.It sounds perfect, not to loud but loud enough for bystanders to know its a bad ass truck. Great job!!!!
Love how dedicated you are o your craft!
Highback seats would have more to my liking, with the built in headrest.
LOL, my exact thoughts when I seen the seats . I just like the look of a high back, plus a high back is better in a accident.
Wish I could do this to my 77. That thing is beautiful 😍
Why couldn't you? Make a plan, make it happen.
omg so clean and beautiful! The sound of exhaust is perfect, resonates perfectly
That looks awesome!! Great job.
Light 'em up!
Restoring a 67 f250 4x4 right now would love to do a coyote swap but don't have the 12k so I'll make do with the 390 that's in it just a cool old cruiser but a huge fan of your work keep it up gotta keep the old trucks alive
390 FE is a nice engine, if you ever need to have it rebuilt check into having it stroked.
So cool!! Definitely a dream truck.
Never seen any of your videos. Awesome truck! 35lb is awesome man! Can’t wait to hear when you get more active. My dad passed away of a heart attack at 56. He was riding his bike at least 40 miles (mountain and road) per week a year before he died. He got injured and let himself get down and out. Stay on that horse y’all.
New scriber here!!! Incredible build, amazing truck!! I'll visit your shop when I get to AZ, interested in improvements on my 5.0
Beautiful! I wish I had the cash to swap out my old tired 400. I am a little jealous too, since your shop is about 6-7 miles from my house.
buy a drop out coyote and get busy.you can do it
I love that you of certain tolerances that you enact on your build! I'm the same way when I build the car I don't want it to be obnoxious I wanted to be noticeable and I want the proof in the pudding to be in the quarter mile not in the exhaust note! Thank you for pointing that out.
Great job! I love this truck.
Just an amazing job again! If only Canadian money was worth something!
I’d have one parked outside your shop waiting in line.
I know you are the brains behind the operation, but could you introduce the men and women that are so frickin talented that work for you? It always impresses me the age gap between them all and their stories of how they made it good at building other peoples dreams.
Thanks again for the great videos.
no kidding,anything priced in us dollars,double it and then some when figuring out canadian dollars ffs...........
I want Jim Jeffries to build me one of these F150s too.
my 1979 f350 which im owning since 3 years is my absolutely favorite truck ever.
one of the best cars in history and also today. timeless design and durability
That's one nice truck!! Nicely done!! Very Impressive!!
My wife was just saying how much girls hate the sound of loud exhaust, and the smell of fuel.
Why we think they love open headers and cat delete ... I’ll never know 🤣
we arent thinking of "them" when we do it.......im so happy my wife hates my carbed,standard transmission trans am.it stays clean,unscratched,mirrors adjusted how i like them,seat were i want it,exhaust nice and loud just how i like it
trillrif axegrindor statistically women are more likely to sleep with men who keep their place clean. Point being, no chick wants to knock boots in a pig sty.
I bet your room is a mess 😉
Truck sounds super quiet. I can appreciate that.
Love it like this. Long bed, reg cab and 4x4. Nice restoration.
Amazing work 👏
I appreciate keeping the power level down to just short of insane. I would have loved this truck without the super charger myself. 400hp is plenty for me :)
I completely agree with you!
When I win the lottery ⬆️
That's what's up!! It looks better than a lot of new trucks.
My first truck was a 77 F-150 Lariat Ranger. Came with a 3 speed automatic behind a factory 460ci. It had A/C, power steering, and cruise control built in.
Waiting....
When I was a teenager I had a 302 F150 with open headers... The older I have gotten the quieter I like the exhaust. Had that same Borla exhaust on my Lightning. Nice and quiet until you stomped on it.
Exactly!
That’s happening to all of us as 50 rolls around and takes control of our lives and we wake up one morning yelling at the hot mustang that’s ripping and roaring around the block and can’t believe I was that guy a few weeks ago but today, it rattles my soul and I need it toned down several bars.
I hate it!! I’ve been a car guy my entire life but it’s something that happens and it’s outta our control!!
Super Cool! My first truck was a 73 F100 short bed.
Man 100 percent total dream truck ! Awesome
If he was getting on the freeway at 95mph that Toyota pickup that past him must have been doing 110mph
He got up to speed then leveled off and merged over probably wasnt at 95 when the toyota passed
Great job guys, most pro builders (the one's I see anyway) have more talent than discretion. You seem to have both. “All art is knowing when to stop.” However you are kind of wimping out by not also building old school engines ;< )
Beautiful truck ! My favorite years of Ford trucks.The paint is great the lift & wheel /tire combo is great. Totally agree about obnoxious exhaust.
Beautiful truck..well done!
Lamborghinis, McLarens. Ferraris, I'd hard pass over this truck. I'm in love 🤩
Dream truck! (This is coming from someone from the latest generation)
The stock bench seat that I had in my 73 XLT was one of the most comfortable seats in my opinion. I would of never put the bucket seats in this truck, but to each his own! Nice truck! My 73 was a hand-me-down from my father. I pulled the stock 360 boat anchor out and installed a lumpy 390 with a Thunderbird 3x2 intake/Holly 2 barrel carbs. It was a fun truck to drive! If you were not into the outside carbs too much, you could actually get half decent mileage running just off of the center 2 barrel.
I still have my 75 F100 4x4 ,390 engine,short bed.purchased in1975 for 5,600.00.had to change from a 360, no one will do any more as far as trucks go.I have used it every where from work to the tallest mountains in the western United states.My son will soon be the new owner.There is not enough good things to say about the wonderful rides it has taken me on.
I’d love to see one of these restomods with a 3.0 powerstroke
I'd love to have a 78 dodge with a hellcat engine built like this
@@TeamHeat604 blah blah
@@85Stang331 honestly a 78 with a 440 would be nice but let's be real the hellcat is a better engine
Gorgeous truck. Love those two tones with the race track moldings. I built my all black 1979 F-150 with a transplanted 351 Cleveland and a 4 speed. Burnouts for days.
My first new truck was a 1976 Ford F-150 4x4 long bed in midnight blue. Paid $4500 for it new (bought in 77). It came with an FE block 360, 4 speed with granny low. Over the course of time I raised it 3" in the front, installed a 428CJ engine, installed a "fat" chrome roll bar with those round lights, chrome diff covers and 38" Denman ground hogs. Ripping through the mud on the banks of the Arkansas river. I was 19 at the time. What a memory that is.
