Revology Cars was founded on a vision of combining timeless automotive design with cutting-edge performance technology. At the heart of this pursuit is the modern Ford 5.0L Ti-VCT “Coyote” V8 engine.
This powerplant not only breathes new life into the iconic 1967 Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback but also dramatically elevates its performance, drivability, and reliability, redefining what a classic Mustang can deliver.
The Evolution of a Legend: Why the Coyote?
The Coyote V8 has become synonymous with modern Ford performance. Introduced in 2011, the engine quickly gained acclaim for its high-revving nature, efficient design, and smooth delivery of power.
Revology Cars specifically chose the fourth-generation (Gen 4) Coyote for its lineup, recognizing the substantial performance and refinement improvements this variant offers. With an aluminum block and heads, dual overhead cams (DOHC), and Ford’s advanced Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT), the Gen 3 Coyote engine produces up to 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque in the Mustang GT, according to Ford Authority.
Compared to the most powerful factory V8 offered in 1967—the 390 cubic-inch big-block rated at approximately 320 horsepower, as documented by MustangSpecs, this represents a 43.75% increase in output, transforming the Mustang into a contemporary powerhouse with vintage charisma.
Seamless Integration into the Classic Mustang Platform
While the 1967 Mustang was initially engineered to accommodate larger engines such as the 390 FE big-block, modern engines like the Coyote, with their dual overhead camshafts and wider architecture, present unique challenges.
According to Hot Rod Magazine, performing a Coyote swap in a 1967 Mustang often requires removal of the factory shock towers, installation of an aftermarket suspension system, and upgrades to the ECU, fuel system, and exhaust to accommodate the engine’s size and technology.
To overcome this, Revology Cars developed an installation system that integrates the Gen 4 Coyote seamlessly. Revology’s installation package includes custom-designed motor mounts, modified radiator core supports, tailored accessory drive components, and precision-engineered air intake systems. These components maintain the aesthetic integrity of the 1967 Mustang while optimizing engine placement and accessibility. The expert engineering ensures that future servicing is straightforward, blending form with practical functionality.
A Quantum Leap in Power and Performance
In 1967, even the most potent Mustang engine, the 390 cubic inch V8 offered approximately 320 horsepower at 4,800 RPM, according to Carfolio’s technical specifications. By contrast, the Gen 3 Coyote provides up to 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. Its 7,500 RPM redline, far exceeding the vintage powerplant’s practical limits, delivers exhilarating acceleration and smooth highway cruising.
The immediate throttle response, linear torque delivery, and smooth idle significantly elevate the driving experience.
Unlike traditional carbureted setups that require frequent tuning adjustments, the electronically managed fuel-injection system of the Coyote ensures dependable performance across varying elevations and temperatures.
Advanced Fuel System Integration
To reliably supply the fuel needs of the high-output Coyote engine, Revology employs a fully modernized fuel system. The custom-designed EFI fuel tank ensures consistent fuel pressure and adequate volume at high RPM. Paired with upgraded fuel pumps and precisely routed fuel lines, the result is an efficient, leak-free system built for both high performance and long-term reliability.
This modern fuel management also eliminates traditional carburetor issues such as vapor lock, inconsistent idle, and difficulty starting in cold weather, transforming the vintage Mustang into a dependable daily driver capable of cross-country road trips or spirited weekend drives with equal confidence.
Cooling Efficiency Tailored for Performance
High-performance engines demand robust cooling solutions. Revology engineers have developed bespoke cooling systems for the Coyote-powered 1967 Mustang, featuring high-capacity aluminum radiators, thermostatically controlled electric cooling fans, and optimized radiator core supports.
These carefully engineered components provide consistent operating temperatures even under extreme driving conditions, including extended idling in traffic or spirited driving on hot days. The upgraded cooling system preserves engine performance, extends component life, and ensures confidence behind the wheel at all times.
Modernized Electrical and Control Systems
Integrating a sophisticated powertrain such as the Gen 3 Coyote requires equally advanced electrical systems. Revology uses Ford’s factory-engineered electronic control modules (ECMs) and wiring harnesses, custom-adapted for installation into the vintage Mustang platform.
These modern electronics manage engine functions such as ignition timing, variable camshaft adjustments, fuel injection, and emission controls. The integration is seamless, providing reliable operation without compromising the vintage look or feel of the Mustang’s interior or exterior. This advanced integration makes the car enjoyable and intuitive for daily use.
Upgraded Drivetrain and Transmission Options
To fully exploit the power and torque offered by the Coyote V8, Revology provides transmission options designed to complement the engine perfectly. Available setups include the proven Tremec T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission for driving enthusiasts who crave direct control, or the smooth and capable 10-speed automatic transmission sourced directly from Ford.
Each option features strengthened internal components, robust gear ratios, and precise shift mechanisms explicitly tailored for use with the high-revving Coyote powerplant. The result is a drivetrain that delivers exhilarating performance, durability, and driving enjoyment, whether cruising on highways or navigating challenging back roads.
Enhanced Braking Capabilities
Revology understands that increased engine power must be matched by equally potent braking performance. Every Coyote-powered 1967 Mustang receives upgraded four-wheel disc brakes, hydroboost-assisted brake master cylinders, and performance-oriented rotors and calipers. The result is dramatically improved stopping distances, pedal feel, and braking consistency, critical factors for both safety and spirited driving experiences.
Precision Steering and Suspension Upgrades
To match the powerful Coyote V$8$’s dynamic capabilities, Revology Cars incorporates sophisticated suspension and steering upgrades. Standard equipment includes rack-and-pinion steering systems that replace the original recirculating ball setup, providing precise steering feedback and responsive handling. These modifications show a marked improvement over the best performance features of the 1967 Mustang GT Fastback.
Suspension components, such as adjustable coil-over shocks, modern sway bars, reinforced chassis bracing, and upgraded bushings, further enhance cornering ability, stability at high speeds, and overall ride comfort. These enhancements ensure that the driver enjoys optimal control, regardless of driving style or road conditions, something greatly aided by the best modifications of the 1968 Mustang GT fastback.
Acoustic Perfection: The Sound of Modern Performance
Revology carefully engineers exhaust systems to accentuate the distinctive sound profile of the Coyote engine. Utilizing high-quality stainless steel tubing, tuned resonators, and mufflers, the exhaust provides a deep, throaty growl at idle and exhilarating, aggressive notes under acceleration, without undesirable cabin drone during cruising.
This finely tuned acoustic profile complements the powerful performance experience and adds visceral excitement, making each drive memorable.
