No need to be so sensitive. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. To answer both of your questions.
If I wanted a coyote powered car I would just go buy a new mustang. Not interested in swapping out my Cleveland.
There is not a temp sender I am aware of that will work with your stock gauge and thread into 12mm. You would have to go with aftermarket gauge and sending unit or make/find an adapter to get to the 12mm to use the stock sending unit and gauge.
Hope this helps.
Also,
1. Don't tell me to ignore your thread or any thread for that matter, you put on here you are putting an LS into a Mustang and expect not to catch some shit for it?
2. You call the coyote engine a turd, which it is not and neither is the LS for that matter.
3. Also advertised stock Z28 Camaro in 1998 was 320 HP at the crank.
Me sensitive.....I'm not the one griping about someone else's choices. You asked me why we weren't swapping in a Coyote, I gave you the reasons and you didn't like it. Get over it, it's not your car!
1. I did not post the choice of engine for the swap until asked by another member, I should have ignored his question, because it had no bearing on the question I asked. I did not start the thread taunting anyone or "asking for some shit" and I don't appreciate it coming from you or anyone else. Fact is, it's none of your business what we do with his car, I didn't ask your opinion of putting an LS into the car, you decided to put it out there where it was not invited or wanted. I think it's funny that you are more worried about the manufacturer of engine going in the car than you are about butchering it to make a coyote fit!
2. The coyote engine is grossly oversize and overcomplicated for the cubic inches and the horsepower it produces. It reminds me of something the
Germans would build......way over engineered for the performance it achieves.......it's kind of like the old Corvette LT5 ZR1 engine built by Mercury Marine......sure, it was a good engine, but it only made 405 hp in it's highest factory trim....way over engineered for the results.
3. Ok, so the advertised hp was 320.......there are lots of dyno results on stock '98 F-Body cars that prove that the engine was making more horsepower than advertised because the cars put down over 300 to the wheels.....fact is, they were putting out around 350 at the crank regardless of the "advertised hp rating". Do you think the Boss 429 really only made the 375 horsepower Ford advertised.....or do you believe the dyno testing that proved it made 600 or more?? How about the 428CJ that was advertised at 335 hp.....or the 1970 426 hemi which was advertised at 425hp but really made over 550??? It's fairly common knowledge that "advertised horsepower" is often fudged by the factory for various reasons.
Again, please ignore this thread if you don't like it....I didn't post it for you.
