Engine gurus.
I just read this post http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...t=miami+engine About the Miami AND Coyote engine. I thought our 5.0 SC engine is called the coyote but call Miami in the States? Am I correct or is there a bigger difference???  |

The Coyote is the 5litre Mustang from the US. No blower.
The Miami is a supercharged engine based on the Coyote but developed in Australia by FPV.

ALL GS and GT SC cars have the MIAMI engine. If I went to the US, they have the same engine (NA) and called the COYOTE ! |

Any reason why they called it a Miami and not a 'Melbourne' or 'Sydney'? Lol

Just curious if the Miami is produced in Australia why use an American name? Why not call it a super kangaroo or quick koala? |

Because in the late '60s Boss was common slang for something very good.
I suppose they should have called the Coyotes the Hektic 335... Off track, wasn't the 351 the only Windsor produced in Canada and all 302Ws came from Cleveland? |

The motors were originally produced at their named location. Yes Windsors were also produced in Cleveland and yes Clevelands were produced in Australia too.
