Welcome! My channel is a compilation of automotive projects that I have done over the years, and projects that I am currently doing or own. A lover of horsepower and speed, most of my content is geared around 1/4 mile performance, turbocharging/supercharging and vehicle powertrain swaps, along with the tuning/fabrication videos. Also, getting into EV content as well. Thank you for stopping by, please subscribe, and comment. I will try to get back to all comments as soon as possible.
Rocky Mountain Race Week 2024, Day 2+3, Ennis TX
Getting the Mach-E from Tulsa to Ennis TX, and we try to set it on the index class number to hold our lead in the class. We run into a bad charger along the way, and are the 2nd to last car down the track as we try to hold on!
Pardon the editing skills, working on making better content as we go! Appreciate you all watching, and please do comment on what you'd like to see more of and what I can improve on, I appreciate the feedback!

This engine cannot be playing tf around
Should have turn the engine sound on, drove one with it on and I’m all like so no shift points?
Like the in car shots! Been checking out the rest of your videos👍🏼
Thanks for sharing your shenanigans. Fun to watch.
Thank you for watching! I need to step up my editing and narration skills, full on starting to sounds like Ben Stein in these.....going to work on that! Appreciate the comment and view time!
What model number is the fuel it sensor? They have a couple. They only show for 2.3 ecoboost. So would this be the universal with 3/8 connections? Also it asks on site what size sensor small medium or large? Which did you get?
#13577379 - That should have 3/8 in/out and be the exact one you see in this video.
psst your trunk is open.
Not a big electric car fan but you guys are doing a cool thing. Different take on hotrodding! Fun listening to adam talk about you in the middle of a pass haha.
Appreciate it! We had a great time, and really enjoy answering the questions everyone had!
Who won?
The Mrs got it done! More content to come!!
Sorry for the delayed reply, trying to produce content, do the route/charge and race all during the last two days, was more than I could muster! We got a lot of video and content to go over, so I'll try and get things caught up for everyone soon!
@@BigAlsGarage Don't stress yourself out about content
Enjoyed watching you both run this evening at MoKan! I just saw you driving in Pittsburg (I was in the blue Mach-E GTPE at the stoplight). 👍
Hey!!! Yea I was like, look another MME! How cool, then you honked and I instantly was like BROTHER!!! haha. Thanks for coming out to watch us, we had a great time, and MoKan brought one heck of a crowd, great track!
Wife!!!! 😂😂💪💪
Yay!!! You must have made it there!!
Why is there a “Rocky Mountain Race week” in Tulsa, OK, where there are no mountains?
It is a brand for the organization. It originally had a couple of tracks there. It was always going to move around to different tracks. I'm sure we will be back to the mountains.
Showing up to the track in an ev.... 😴😴🤡
Showing up is what matters most, else these tracks, won't be around much longer. A real racer, supports the sport, in every capacity. Thanks for watching!
She is going to drag you all week!
You, would be correct. Not all week, but she did take 1st place!
Did u just say u were about to make adjustments to an electric car?
Adjustments for track conditions, need to lift earlier since this track is 🍒 on the sticky! Usually has a little left front wheel spin to account for that just isn't happening here. Thanks for the question!
That thing is doing great. Can’t wait to see the rest of the week.
Realized I had my other account signed in.
You guys with these EVs are totally comical . 😄
Currently #1 in the 13.0 class 💪
Let’s go!
2.00 for 2 minutes? It’s that much
DC Fast Charging varies by location, this charge was $17.32 for 23 minutes of charge time, and 32.68kw delivered. When traveling, DC Fast charging is much, much more expensive than home or Level 2 charging for sure.
Do you really need the trailer ? There's not much you can swap out or fix on an EV . Drive slow, check tire pressures, manage battery temps. Good luck, I'll be watching from the UK
The trailer has our backup generator if we truly run out. We also have our canopy chairs cooler and some fans. The goal is not to use it.
Where can i get this kit ?
I have detailed the part numbers in the video description, it's a kit I made from the parts listed.
On the Fuse box for the actual cable you bought off Amazon did you still use a 20 on the jumper cable or did you use another number
@@jonathanirizarry3246 , I used the smallest fuse available, I believe like a 5a for the jumper fuse since the flex fuel sensor does not require much current. I wouldn't use more than a 10A at the absolute most.
@BigAlsGarage sounds good so the Fuse connector I could use a big one and use a 5v for the actual connector
@BigAlsGarage I'm looking at my fuses and I have a 5v small and a 5v big connector the others are 15 and 20 so I was thinking I could use a big connector and use the 5v Fuse for the sensor if that makes sense
Hey I have a 2003 marauder that seems to be dying on me (a shame cuz I JUST bought it) I want to know do you think the difficulty in saving the 4.6 would be more or less of a hassle than swapping with a gen 2 coyote? And also will the coyote be able to run with the stock 4r70w?
Hi! Thanks for the video! If I understood correctly, this only allows you to read the current ethanol percentage blend in your fuel. Once you know that, do you tune the ECU? If so, do you use a handheld tuner? How often do you do this?
I am so sorry for the late reply on this, for some reason I wasn't seeing all of these comments. Correct, this only tells you the content, you then need to adjust the tune accordingly. Thanks for watching!
The kit you showed is for 5/16 fuel line. But you have all 3/8 hardware?
Hello! The fuel-it sensor kits are available in both sizes, and correct you will need the 3/8 size one for the ST. Thanks for the question!
Thank you sir!!
Should be fun to follow and good luck!
Thank You! We'll do our best!
Do you still have the lighting? If so how are you still liking it?
Hello! This Lightning was actually on loan from the dealer to us for that trip. However, I have recently purchased a Mustang Mach-E GT Performance, and am currently doing some content with it. So far, it's been a pretty good experience. Thanks for watching!
This is awesome to see. I'm currently having my Marauder coyote swapped and we're running into an issue with the passenger headers. How did you modify the stock coyote header to work on the passenger side? Thanks!
Hi Don! Sorry this is a bit late, hopefully you have found a solution, but if not I do recall having to work on that factory manifold/tubular header a bit, to the extent of modifying 1 tube if I recall, as well as putting the header firmly in a vise, then heating up another of the tubes and then slightly bending it inward towards the engine/trans, so that it cleared the frame rail. It wasn't too bad that I recall.
10 speed?
6R80 (6A). Would have been awesome with a 10A! However, this was swapped back in 2015ish, before the 10A was out.
Yikes. How far out of the way did you have to go to charge? That doesn't seem very efficient at all.
Luckily, the charging station was about a mile from the actual destination. Efficiency, if you compare it to a gas 1/2T of the same trim level, it's actually quite a bit cheaper in terms of MPG when comparing apples to apples. However, it's all about location of the charger and if they are near your destination to where you can charge while you are going about something else, that's where EV's shine on road trips. However, having to sit and wait to charge with nothing else to overlap, is where it's inconvenient for sure.
Awesome - is there a good ground point to use for the fuel it that you used?
I used one of the bolts secured to the bracing in the cowl panel right by the fuse box. The fuel-it! sensor is relatively low current, and the bracing there seems to be an adequate ground point so far.
Very cool
I miss this build more each day!
When I contacted Brett about the kit he told me to get the 5/16th he said it works with his kit do you no if that's true
I definitely would recommend to go with what Brett advises, however I will say my Fuel-It sensor is 3/8", which is the size of the ST's fuel lines. Might make double sure that's what Brett recommended before ordering just in case.
Just so you know you are not fully loaded for a truck. If you have to pull any kind of trailer or put weight in bed you loose a lot of mileage with weight. I can’t call it an actual truck I call it a get around town vehicle.
Good points! However, it can still go to the hardware store, get fully loaded up with lumber and sheetrock, and haul everything back so that's still considered a truck in my mind. But, as versatile as a traditional truck, certainly not.
Is that a Gen 2 or Gen 3 engine? And what did you do to get the fuel to flow?
It was a GEN1 F150 longblock, with Mustang gen 1 intake cams and oil pump. Fuel system was Walbro 255 in-tank, installed in a 1997 Crown Vic fuel hanger assembly which was return style, using LS1 corvette fuel filter with built in regulator which set the fuel pressure at the Coyote's required 55psi.
What trans did you put behind that engine?
I used the 6R80 that came with the Coyote engine, as well as the factory PCM to run it all. Thanks for the question!
Is there any particular reason you went with short tube headers instead of long tube? I am doing the same build and I would like to get your input. Thank you
@@marcfoster98 the only real reason for the factory Mustang shorty headers was ease of availability and price at the time (swap was done back in 2015ish). The LH side fit without modification using 11-14 Mustang factory shorty's, RH has to be modified slightly on 1 tube, and slightly bent inward (I heated up the tubes and used a bar to slightly bend it inwards).
Where are you guys located?
Central Kansas
Good video! Is there any harm in charging with the truck on? Does it take longer vs leaving it off?
Great question! Unfortunately I did not have enough time with this tester vehicle to check the charge time while in run mode, vs charging with vehicle off. I would assume, that would depend on how high of capacity charger you are connected to, as it's likely that the truck would then split the incoming charge accordingly based on how much % goes into battery, how much % goes into keeping A/C and accessories running. But, I have no facts on this at the moment so it's merely my guess.
You can charge with the truck on, no problem at all. I do it all the time. And even with the AC crankin, you're slowing down the charge speed by like 3 kw out of 130ish kw. It's barely noticeable. It might take another 2-3 minutes to charge with the AC running the entire time. I think the heater uses a bit more energy, but I still doubt it would add more than 5 or so minutes.
Awesome content for the ST community!
Thank you!
Hey man, got sent here by my Nobuddy, Chad! New sub here, cheers from Alberta!
Thank you ShopKat! Chad is a good guy, learn a lot from his stories about things watching myself! Appreciate the sub, and cheers from Kansas!

wouldn't it have made more sense to buy a vic paint it black put a marauder front clip on and then put the coyote engine in?
Interestingly enough, this Marauder was headed for the scrap yard before I came across it. Otherwise, for sure, wouldn't have been very cost effective at all. I picked the car up for little to nothing, the rest was just a little time and effort. Wish I still had this one. Thanks for the question!
@@BigAlsGarage why was it headed for the scrap yard?
@@scabbythecrownvic So I got a call from a friend that's a fellow dealer tech, and said they had it come in on trade. The original engine had a snapped LH bank secondary timing chain. Luckily, it didn't kiss any valves. I put a secondary chain in it, and drove it for about 3 months after we did the body/paint, before the Coyote swap. Customer that traded it in didn't want to look into it, and it was headed for the scrap heap.
How does the cvf intercooler compare to the whipple?
That's a good question. I personally am unable to answer that though, as I have no way to compare. However, data from people who have the cvf looks good. Personally, I think about every aftermarket intercooler option for these is pretty solid. I chose Whipple simply because they were already proven on these at the time.
Is that the stock radiator and degauss bottle from the marauder ?
Yes, I reused them both.
@@BigAlsGarage no over heating issues then ?
@Honda4Ever no I never had any issues at all with it. I raced it quite a bit when it was N/A, never had a problem.
@@BigAlsGarage another question did that Marauder have a cable speedometer or electronic vss
@@garrettstayton it was electronic. I used a Dakota digital signal converter box to convert the coyotes CAN BUS vss to sine wave analog so the oem Gauges worked.
Correction maybe for extended range only because my lariet got the extended range and on my dash said fast charge 90%
Thanks for the info! I have learned so much since this was 1st published from viewers and comments, thank you!
Wrong information. It will allow you to charge up to 90 % for better long last of battery life. If you check on your dash it will read charge 90% and will show how long it will take.
Thanks for the information Richard! Maybe I can get a chance at some point to revisit this and go over a few things I have personally learned since doing this video last summer.
Nice
The one project I miss the most!
