Default Old school

Hey fellas I started this thread a a build page for my Ford F-150 Super Crew Lariat build. I named it Old School as well...that is me. I like the nostalgia hot-rodder look. I know it's had to do on a truck but I will get close. my goal is not too much and not too little. here is what I am starting with. I purchased a 2011 certified preowned F-150 with the Coyote 5.0L V8 super crew Lariat totally loaded.

The 5.0 is nicknamed Coyote.

If you have a 2011 and its a 5.0L you have the "Coyote". Here is the definition from Wikipedia:
5.0 L Coyote [edit]

The 5.0 L (4951 cc, 302 cid)[12] "Coyote" V8 is the latest evolution of the Modular engine.[13] Ford engineers needed to design a V8, specifically for the Mustang GT, that would compete with the GM 6.2L LS3 used in the new Chevrolet Camaro, and the new Chrysler 6.4L Hemi ESF in the Charger and Challenger. This engine had to remain close to the same physical size of the outgoing 4.6, and share other specifications with it such as bore spacing, deck height, bell housing bolt pattern, etc. in order for the engine to utilize existing Modular production line tooling. The result was the 5.0 Coyote, which produced roughly the same amount of power as its competitors, but with a much smaller displacement. To strengthen the block enough to handle increased output, webbing was extensively used as reinforcement in the casting, rather than increasing the thickness of the walls. The intake plenum was also situated low between the two cylinder banks to meet the height constraint, thus the alternator traditionally placed low and center was moved to the side of the engine. It shares the 4.6 L's 100 mm (3.937 in) bore spacing and 227 mm (8.937 in) deck height,[14] while bore diameter and stroke have increased to 92.2mm (3.629 in) and 92.7mm (3.649 in), respectively. The engine also retains the 4.6 L's 150.7 mm (5.933 in) connecting rod length, which produces a 1.62:1 rod to stroke ratio.[15] The firing order has been changed from that shared by all previous Modular V8s (1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8) to that of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Flathead_engine (1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2).[15] Compression ratio is 11.0:1, and despite having indirect fuel injection (as opposed to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_direct_injection) the engine can still be run on 87 octane gasoline.
The Coyote features all new http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivalve http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOHC cylinder heads that have shifted the camshafts outboard, which allowed for a compact roller finger follower setup with remote hydraulic valve lash adjusters and improved (raised) intake port geometry. The result is an intake port that outflows the Ford GT intake port by 4 percent and the Yates D3 (NASCAR) intake port up to 0.472" (12 mm) lift, which is the maximum lift of the Coyote's intake cams. Engine redline is 7000 rpm.[15]
The Coyote is Ford's first implementation of its cam-torque-actuated (CTA) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Cam_Timing (Ti-VCT) in a V8 engine, which allows the power-train control module (PCM) to advance and retard intake and exhaust cam timing independently of each other, providing improved power, fuel economy and reduced emissions. The engine is assembled in Ford's Essex Engine Plant in Windsor, Ontario, using existing Modular tooling.[16]
Boss 302 (Road Runner) Variant [edit]

A higher performance variant of the Coyote, dubbed Road Runner internally by Ford, is produced under the Boss 302 moniker used for the resurrected Boss 302 Mustang for the 2012 model year.[17] The Boss 302 receives CNC ported heads cast in 356 aluminum providing additional airflow and strength, and a higher lift exhaust camshaft profile is used. Valvetrain components were lightened as much as possible, including the use of sodium filled exhaust valves, while strengthened powdered metal rods and forged aluminum pistons were added. Piston-cooling jets were also deleted, which are standard in the 5.0 model.[18] Exterior changes include a high-mount intake plenum (as opposed to the standard engine's low-mounted one) with shorter runners to improve high-rpm power. Power is increased from 412 hp (307 kW) to 444 hp (331 kW), and torque drops from 390 lb·ft (530 N·m) to 380 lb·ft (520 N·m) due to the upgrades. The Boss's redline is increased to 7500 rpm, but has been verified stable up to 8400.[19]
"F-150 Variant [edit]

A torque-biased variant of the Coyote is produced as an alternative to the EcoBoost V6 in the new F-150 pickup truck. The F150 5.0L receives a lower compression ratio (10.5:1), intake camshafts with less duration, cast iron exhaust manifolds, and revised cylinder heads and intake manifold intended to promote low-end and mid-range power and torque. The engine retains the Coyote's forged steel crank and piston-cooling jets but benefits from the addition of an external engine oil cooler similar to the Boss 302's. The changes result in the engine's peak horsepower dropping to 360 hp (268 kW; 365 PS) while torque remains the same as the Boss 302 at 380 lb·ft (520 N·m).[20]"

The only stupid question is the one that is not asked.

Okay, I got the hood decal on from Steel Skinz http://www.steelskinz.com/s-150-ford-graphics.aspx
I also used the Ford FX4 and FX2 bed side decals to combine them to make one custom decal 4 X 2 sport. I also bought the custom emblems 5.0L coyote V8. I had Jim Carnifax do some Old School pinstriping for me: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jim-C...371285?fref=ts More to come.
