Ford 5.0L Coyote Engine
The Coyote is a 5.0 liter, naturally aspirated V8 engine from Ford Motor used to power sports cars like the Ford Mustang and pickup trucks like the Ford F-150. Featuring a dual overhead cam (DOHC) design, in a V configuration, the Ford Coyote architecture has been part of the Ford Modular family since 2011. The engine has seen some revisions since then, the most recent being in 2018.
This engine was first engineered for the Mustang GT so it could compete with the GM 6.2L LS3 engine used in the Chevrolet Camaro at the time. The Coyote had to remain the same size as the outgoing 4.6-liter V8. It was also Ford’s first implementation of its Twin independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT) technology on a V8 engine, a feature which considerably improves fuel economy and power delivery all while reducing emissions.
About Ridetech
Ridetech started in 1996 with a vision of building a better lowered car. Using air suspension to accomplish the task, our reputation as innovators, problem solvers, and just good folks to deal with, helped us grow quickly.
It was just what we do - we Hot Rod. To us, Hot Rodding means you can always do better and “no” is never an acceptable answer.
Can we make a vintage car drive, handle and perform as well as a modern super car - YES!
Can we make a truck ride as good as your family sedan (even with massive changes in load) - YES!
Can we take a car built to handle on rails and provide a smooth compliment ride - YES!
Being a Hot Rodder is more than parts and problem solving, if you are one too, then you already know what we mean. It is a lifestyle and a passion, and it is built on sharing with friends. Being a Hot Rodder means you never enter any town as a stranger, you always have fellow enthusiast to sit down with and feel at home. This is why we spend so much of our time and resources on attending events, we want to meet you and hear about your story - even if you aren’t a customer, even if you buy someone else’s product…
Our approach to problem solving, “can-do” perspective and relationship driven business tactics have provided openings into many areas of business including agriculture, commercial transport and defense projects as well… but at the core, we remain true to who we are - we are Hot Rodders.

    I love the '63. Yours gives me such good memories as a kid. My dad traded his 57 Merc for a '63 Galaxie 500 Country Squire station wagon. It had an early 289 and he had under dash AC. Wimbledon white with blue interior. Being upstate NY, he drove it only in the summer and trailered a 1957 Correct Craft inboard ski boat we restored to use up in the 1,000 islands. Eventually he sold it in the 80's with 30k miles. It was mint but I was in school and could not get it. "Good times" for sure.

    As the owner of a 63 convertible I do recommend the following for the to-do list: 1) Quickor front and rear way bars (the original front one is way small for a car that heavy), 2) Fatman Fabrications tubular control arms with the offset bolt elimination, 3) CPP big brake kit if you get around to upgrading from the drum brakes. Also optional which you might not want to do since you have air ride already is the Fatman 3" drop spindles. They are designed to accomodate Granada front discs although CPP sells brake kits to use either the Galaxie or the Granada front spindle mounting points. Getting rid of the offset lower front A-arm bolt will do wonders to improve driving feel, get rid of that wandering feeling and improve tire wear. Been there, done that.

    @@luckysgarageshow The offset bolts were one of those ideas that was good on paper but didn't work out so well in practice. The first 3 model years of that chassis (1960-62) didn't have them. They were only used on the 63 and 64 cars. Supposedly they were trying to improve the ride on rough roads but the problem was the cars tended to toe-out under braking and toe-in under acceleration. Keeping the front end aligned was darn near impossible since the front of the lower A-arms were free to move around. It led to customer complaints of tires wearing unevenly. If the car was brought back to the dealer for that reason the fix was to install a brace bar that tied the mounts together to keep them from moving. I have one I pulled off my car that you could have although I live in central Alabama so not very convenient to you.
