    This is a well written and presented book on how to build a big block Ford for maximum performance. If you have built engines before this is the perfect book for you and you are, in my opinion, the intended reader. I started on Pontiac and Chevy small blocks because of the ease of increasing performance at a low cost. This book shows how to work on the new Ford Coyote Engines.The book is easy to read and filled with pertinent photographs and optional modifications. All aspects of the build are covered with many accompanying photos. If you want to build a high performance Ford big block engine that will help you get the most performance you can out of this system then this is the book for you.

    FORD COYOTE ENGINES: How To Build MAX PERFORMANCE by Jim Smart is one smart, well conceived and executed look into the beloved Mustang engine. As so many power blocks happen, this Ford entry was a response to Chevy's introduction of their 6.2 liter mills. Like every CarTech book I have every seen, this one is teeming with photos covering every aspect of the engine, from how the engine is built to refitting it to boost performance. Mr Smart covers everything from simple lubing to the camshaft and valvetrain, cooling systems and electrical. Charts are included with the original engine specs, piston specifications and torquing requirements. Also included is a section on crate engines such as the M-6007-M50 5.0L 4 valve for the Mustang and the Edelbrock E-Force Coyote are featured, along with other options for all you who maybe want to pop a surprise under the hood of your rebuild. In all this is a great guide to not only what is available from 2011 on, but a guide to help both novice and pro alike through the rigors of working on or replacing this great power plant. I just got my copy back from my buddys in the Ford shop down the street. While not one of them mentioned anything they didn't know, the book hand plenty of grease stains and some areas were circled. And I saw at least three photocopies of individual pages taped to the walls in the bays, so...

    Jim Smart is a genius when it comes to Fords. He seems to be able to tweak every last bit of horsepower and torque from these engines. And of course, in the style of Car Tech, the photos are the best. I'm a Ford fan from way back and this book showed me things I definitely will use in the future. Great book, Buy it!

    The Ford Coyote engine joins a long series of Blue Oval power plants. Starting way back when with the famous, if not sometimes infamous, flathead V-8 progressing through the Y-blocks, the FEs, the Windsor family of 289 and 302 fame, the 335 and 385 series, up to the present run of modular V-8s Ford has kept pace with the changing engine technology if not sometimes pushing the engine development envelope. The current family of modular V-8s came to market in 1991 as a 4.6 displacement but continues to undergo constant revision and upgrading. The Coyote engine is the newest, and best, of the 5 liter modular series. That engine has been reworked to 5.2 liters known as the Voodoo engine and found a home in the current Shelby Mustang model. Jim Smart, a well versed expert in Mustang lore and technology, has produced the ideal book for the Coyote enthusiast. Loaded with tons of technical insights, development history, and available upgrades the book will surely find a home in anyone interested in the performance of Coyote power plant. To help in understanding the many details of the engine, and potential upgrades, Smart has loaded the book with helpful, easy to see, color photographs and diagrams. The price seems a little steep for a 144 page book but I think a justification for dropping twenty-seven bills on it is the tremendous amount of useful material found between its covers. But, the price is also the reason I couldn't give the book a five star rating.

    Typically great work by the CarTech folks. Jim Smart provides the most detailed text and pictures for a engine building project that is possible. It was easy to follow because of the great attention to detailed, clear and appropriate pictures. Definitely a must for anybody who is contemplating a Ford Coyote re-build.

    My friend, who is experienced with working on cars, says this is a well-written book with great photos and instructions. Although he prefers the Ford Flathead V-8, and his trucks from the 1960's, he could use this book to build the Coyote, if he had the money. The book also contains good tips for working on *any* engine. I am a person who only knows how to change the oil, headlamps, and windshield wipers, so I wouldn't tackle such a large project right away. As a novice, I would have to study the basics first, but I do like this book. It is well designed and the details are fascinating. The technical and creative lingo made it a comfortable read. I could picture experienced mechanics tossing around words like "Voodoo", "cam phaser" and "test mule" . I like how some of the history of Ford engines is included. The pictures are beautiful, and *clear*, unlike when reading the $30 newsprint manual I bought for my car. With that, I often have a hard time deciphering the murky photos, but The Coyote Engine photos make me want to reach out and touch the metal!

    This book covers Ford Coyote engines from 2011 “to present” – it has a 2016 copyright. As usual with Car Tech, the photos are very good. If you are building or rebuilding one of these engines, this is an essential guide.

    This book is a great resource. The pictures are very helpful and the writing is easy to follow. This is a great book for helping my husband and I work on our vehicles and our friend's vehicles.
