The LS is to Bowtie enthusiasts what the Coyote is to Blue Oval fans: a powerful, well-engineered, aftermarket-respected V-8 that’s venerated for its off-the-lot performance as well as its tuning potential. Ford engineers hit contributor Jim Smart has revised his excellent CarTech book, subtitled “How to Build Max Performance,” to cover all three generations of Coyote V-8s — including the Shelby GT350’s 5.2-liter Voodoo variant — built between 2011 and today. This title (ISBN 9781613257982) covers every aspect of modifying these engines, from internals like the rotating assembly, camshafts, and oiling system, to external components like various cylinder head options, forced induction, and exhaust systems. The 160-page softcover contains nearly 600 color photos along with multiple sidebars and detailed specification charts. Every Ford performance fan with a Coyote engine in the garage will greatly benefit from this book.
