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.

Love it. My first car I bought was during the summer of '83 was a '63 Galaxy 4 door, had the 352 v8. Great car! Reverse went out in the Cruise-O-mactic tranny in '85, sold it to a guy, he said he was going to fix it all up, it was almost rust free.

Good idea!
Lucky, I have a 63 convertible myself and I would definitely recommend eliminating the offset shafts at the front of the lower control arms. That was the biggest flaw of that entire suspension system. Personally I used Fatman Fabrication arms (along with their drop spindles) but there are other ways to do it as well. If I had known about them at the time, I might have also used the CPP 13" front rotors since I have 18" front wheels but at the moment I have 11" Granada discs. Fatman just featured my car on their Facebook page today too.
Nice to see the wagon driving. Sounds awesome…

Lucky, I enjoy your HRG show with Alex so I subscribed to your channel. Also, you mentioned in an HRG video that you speak German. Ich kann auch Deutsch--infolgedessen können wir auf Deutsch plaudern, wenn du mochtest. I found this to be a comical video--keep it up. ;) Mach's gut.
My 64 Galaxie has the same dash, but your switches are all in different locations than mine. Very interesting.

Nice Torrance tour, Lucky! You missed a few breweries (drove right past Project Barley’s The Pub), but no surprise Honda America didn’t get a shout out. Del Amo really is the worst by all the car shops, but then it’s the best two blocks west over by Ganahl. Should have given her the beans over the bridge!

I love wagons
A single master cylinder and four drums. 😂Man, that reminded me of my old 1964 Chrysler New Yorker. Lost a flex line and came close to busting up that old sled. Being a young wrench, I took a master cylinder from a Cadillac, made an adapter plate for the booster, adapted the rod and lines, and drove it. It stopped well considering I knew nothing about proportioning valves.

My parents had many cars when I was growing up. My favorite was their '63 Galaxie 500 four door sedan. Sadly, my 14 year old sister sneaked it out one rainy Sunday night right after church. The parents were still at church in a business meeting. She had the preacher's daughter riding shotgun and she totaled it! They were traumatized, of course. But, so was I. BTW, RainX works good, especially when the wipes don't work.

Get in the zone Lucky ooh my my mistake you occupy your own zone! Killer machine. How many of those wagons are left? Anyway a 63 2dr was the first stock car that had some natural aero plus the cost difference between a 2 door set up with same drive train is 2 or 3X yes? You never talk costs or values of anything. Anyway your show has entertainment value for me. Thank you. PS Southern California has the Automotive performance and aftermarket at your fingertips must help with parts and incredible knowledge

Hey Lucky, any chance of using the Galaxie as a push car for the land speed roadster? I'm using my 64 Colony Park for the same thing.
Will it stay a rough rod or is a resto in the future? By the way i dig it!

Officers don't necessarily like the word "challenge",,,soo, from now on , , "Traction Check". Soo incredibly HyperTypical,,,, "Off to Auto Zone, for wiper blades!". Lol. Thanks for the ride in The Road Queen Family Truckster, with the Rally Sport Fun Pak!, but not, Antarctic Blue paint. But Maybe. Mercedes has a new incredible Lunar Blue Metallic. Shades of Ford. Snow here in the Pac Northwest today at 20ft above. Wet sloppy Cascade Concete snow. Trucks on Donner Pass were locked in place, due to drifts. Those air compressors are coffee grinders. Tell them you want a screw compressor setup,,Yesss!!. Thanks Lucky.
