This Coyote swap New Edge GT boasts a heat extractor hood, and a ’99/’01 Cobra front bumper cover.

To us, there’s not much better than a Coyote engine at full song. It matters not what car it’s in, but if it’s a swap, so much the better.

You can see the GT’s IRS doing its job going into this corner.

A New Edge car, that’s been Coyote swapped really isn’t that difficult. Of course, you have to be able to afford it, but after that, the engine goes right in with a tubular K-member, and swap headers. Add the long-tube headers and an intermediate pipe, and the exhaust is done. Come up with a cold air induction set-up, wire up a Ford Racing controls pack, study the factory manual so you can power up the existing gauges, and you’re almost done.

A New Edge car already has the Hydraboost system in place, and power steering and brakes are a custom mount, or front accessory system away. If A/C is desired, that will take a little work, and investment to make happen. However, it looks and sounds like this Coyote-swap New Edge owner doesn’t have a need for A/C since he says he doesn’t really drive it on the street.

A Tremec T-56 Magnum transmission is the way to go for us, which makes 7,000 RPM upshifts possible. If your transmission doesn’t like shifting at high rpm, don’t waste your time. Whatever transmission you decide to pair with your Coyote, make sure it’s ready for high rpm shifting. Otherwise, it will be a lesson in frustration.

This car doesn’t stop with the Coyote swap; it also features a Cobra IRS. The Coyote engine combined with an IRS definitely makes this New Edge a blast on the track. And from the sounds of it, the owner is definitely having fun. If you’re using headphones, we must forewarn you, this thing is loud.
