1955 Ford Thunderbird 5.0 Coyote Swap Restomod "Coyo-T-Bird" Final Video Feature V8TV
The V8 Speed & Resto Shop recently completed a modern, fuel injected Ford 5.0 Coyote V8 swap into a 1955 Ford Thunderbird. Now, the restomod Thunderbird runs much stronger and is more reliable thanks to the Ford Performance 5.0 Coyote V8 engine swap and 5-speed manual transmission. The V8 Speed and Resto Shop conversion also included installing a custom mandrel bent Magnaflow exhaust system and high-pressure fuel system to run the Coyote engine.
This 1955 Ford Thunderbird now features a Tremec TKO 500 5-speed manual transmission and a hydraulic clutch from Modern Driveline.
The V8 Speed team also upgraded the interior with the new gauges and a Vintage Air A/C system.
The Ford Racing Coyote V8 engine is a 5.0 liter, all-aluminum, dual overhead cam electronically fuel injected V8 engine similar to what is found in new Ford Mustangs. The factory rating is 430 HP, but this retrofit installation features a bit more thanks to the free-flowing fabricated aluminum intake manifold and the less restrictive Magnaflow mufflers and custom built, mandrel bent exhaust system.
The steering system was improved with a Flaming River power steering rack and pinion conversion, and the brakes were upgraded with a hydraulic brake booster system from Hydratech braking. The 1955 Thunderbird now features 4 wheel disc brakes, and Rocket Racing wheels.

This has been one of my dream engine-swaps since the new 5.0L was announced. Great to see it executed so beautifully.
Stephen Bianchi Same here brother.
Sorta the same here, but wanted to swap in a 427 SOHC cammer.
The radio appearance is a minus! I do like this car though, nice job!
It's beautiful. So you converted that awful automatic to a manual, did you? There is some good left in the world after all. You are doing divine work.
Thanks, yes, it's a 5-speed manual. Fun to drive!
That's one good looking red 55 Thunderbird.
Total weight?
Traction bars are too low.
They never tell us paint code
The front and rear bumpers need to be tuck into the body.
Mike Emerson The paint and bodywork were done at a different shop before we got the car. The bumpers were already shaved of bolts and re-chromed, and the owner liked the look.
Don't get me wrong, I like the car, I just noticed that the bumper seem to stick out a bit to much.
Not tasteless, he was going for a racy look/feel, and he achieved that goal.
Butthurt much?
Coyote is wider than a 460 Big Block.. Ford blew it with the Modular. Overhead Cams do not improve airflow.. what it takes for HP. Need 400hp?.. Build a Windsor, you can do so for less than the electronics and wiring package you'll need to run a Coyote.
That car has a surprisingly large engine bay for the stock engine it had from the factory. It looks larger than the engine bay in my 88Thunderbird. I went with a 347 Stroker crate engine, because those Coyotes are huge.
Sorry no mags please? The 55 T- Bird always needs white side walls, and spoked wheels. You will never improve its looks by using black side walls, and mags, No No No!
Not a fan of the wheels
Try a set of these
