Check out these two Ford powerhouses going at it one-on-one! Both of these cars are iconic Fox Mustangs, and they are both Ford powered. However, they make use of entirely different engines.
The black four-eye Fox is propelled by a 4.6-liter Terminator engine with a Whipple supercharger and six-speed manual transmission, while the red, aero-nose Fox is motivated by a 5.0-liter Coyote engine with a TH400 transmission and 100-shot of nitrous.
Just a couple of friendly, pre-race burnouts!
Both cars are impressively built, but in a head-to-head matchup like this, there has to be a winner and a loser. All that is left to do is watch and see how things play out. Either way, it’s just fun to see these two titans go at it!
Here is the moment the Coyote is overtaken by the Terminator, pretty near the start of their short race. The photo on the left is actually from the GoPro on the Coyote swap.
After a show of equally impressive burnouts from each car, the Terminator-swapped black Mustang easily takes the red Coyote-powered Fox. The video is definitely informative for anyone looking to do a performance swap in a Fox Mustang.
While there are a lot of factors to consider — from weight to traction — this video shows that the Terminator swaps are still a viable performance option, especially if they are topped with a Whipple supercharger! Of course, a nitrous-injected Coyote packs quite a punch too and might cost a bit less.
It’s all the preference of the builder, but this video shows that old-school modulars can still hold their own against modern Coyotes.
