We have successfully run this setup in multiple cars for multiple seasons. Call us for details on this project.

We installed this system on a customer’s ’69 351 W Mustang. The return-less system was a breeze to install, and fired up on the first turn of the key. We plan to put some miles on it this week, but we are extremely pleased with the driveabililty and cold start so far.

This is the cleanest EFI retro-fit that we have used to date, and expect it to be very popular with our customers.

Some other things we did to the car include PAE built 351 W, 5 speed conversion, PAE weld-in sub-frame connectors, Maier Racing shock tower brace and Panhard Rod.

sponsored Mustangs, the father son team of Paul and Brian Faessler of Paul’s Automotive Engineering, wrapped up their NASA AI and AIX season by winning both championships in their NASA Great Lakes region. The cars were designed and built out of Paul’s Automotive Engineering’s Blue Ash based shop. Brian’s car was a gift from Ford Racing.

Brian Faessler, in his first full season of racing, is an Archbishop Moeller High School graduate, age 20, Engineering student at the University of Cincinnati, ran in the extremely competitive American Iron (AI) class where American pony cars (Mustangs, Camaro’s, Firebirds, etc..) compete against each other. The class is based on a strict power to weight system of 9.5lbs/rear wheel horsepower (RWHP) with a max of 18”x9.5” wheel, as well as a wheelbase and track-width limit designed to equalize the different makes and models.

Brian’s car started as a 2010 Body-in-White (bare shell) Mustang which Ford Racing gave to PAE at the end of the 2009 race season. With a bare shell, Brian started by removing 300# of unneeded metal and braces from the uni-body, while his dad Paul designed a complete custom suspension and integral roll cage.  The car is powered by a 2012 Boss 302 engine that is capable of over 430 wheel horsepower (approx. 500 flywheel horsepower, although it is restricted to 350 rear wheel horsepower for his class).

In Brian’s 13 race season, he scored enough points in 12 races, with 6 wins and 4 seconds, to secure the NASA Pro Racing’s Great Lakes regional Championship, which qualified him to compete in the National Championship held at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. He finished 6^th in the championship race, which was a great performance for a 20 year old in his first National Championship race.

Paul, a St. Xavier High School and BSME grad from the University of Cincinnati, runs his 1965 Mustang in the American Iron Extreme (AIX) class which has few restrictions, including no limit on power. Paul’s ’65 Mustang, which he car-pooled to UC in where he earned his BSME in the late ‘70s, has a unique Paul’s Automotive Engineering designed turbo system which can produce over 800 RWHP. In Paul’s 10 race season, he had 7 wins and wrapped up his 4^th regional AIX championship early as well.

Paul finished 2^nd to PAE’s customer Chris Griswold at the National Championship race in September. Paul and Chris have won the last 4 National AIX Championships (Paul 2008, Chris 2009-2011) all utilizing PAE’s unique turbo system, making for 6 consecutive AI and AIX National Championships for Paul’s Automotive Engineering prepared and supported cars.

We recently finished a Fox body 5.0 Coyote engine swap with air conditioning, power steering, power brakes.

We pulled it off our dyno on Friday (415 rear-wheel horsepower and 389 rear-wheel torque) and drove it to Putnam Park Road Course on Saturday morning. Over the 170 mile drive to the course, we averaged 25 mpg at 80 mph. We switched to Kuhmo DOTs, and ran 1:21 flat in traffic, and drove it home on Sunday.

All we can say is that this is an awesome combination that will become more and more popular.

Coyote powered 33 Hot Rod

Factory Five 1933 Hot Rod project.

This is a father/son project that Paul’s Automotive Engineering is helping with. Dan and Dan Rosenthal (long time friends and customers) decided to do a project car together and we decided that building it in a corner of our shop would be good for all.

They started with a Factory Five 33 Hot Rod kit, and they were going to run a 1996 Cobra 4v engine. As the project progressed, they kept looking at the Coyote that we were running in Brian’s car. Soon we realized that the 5.0 would bolt up to the engine mounts provided by Factory Five, and the decision was made to run the new engine.

Thanks to some of PAE’s contacts at Ford Racing, a new 5.0 showed up at the shop, and we actually had a 5.0 in a Factory Five chassis before they had one.

The install was straight foreward, and with stock headers, and a custom PAE tune the car made 414RWHP, which should be very exciting in a 2100# car.

The Rosenthals should have the car licensed and on the road this fall.

2012 Boss 302 in a 1987 Fox body

2011 has been a busy and exciting year so far at PAE. The shop is packed full of customer cars, and interesting projects.

We are keeping the dyno wheels turning, custom tuning  with SCT, Diablo, Fast, and Big Stuff software.

Since being selected as a Ford Racing Performance Parts distributor in 2010, we have been very busy selling and installing FRPP parts.

Since we have been running the new 5.0 Coyote, and 2012 Boss 302 engines in Brian’s NASA American Iron road race car, (over 4000 race miles to date), we have come to really appreciate this new engine family. The power, efficiency, and smoothness of this new engine, has and will lend itself to be a great engine swap candidate. Currently we have 3 cars in house undergoing this transplant.

First is a Factory Five 1933 Hot Rod. We actually had a new Coyote installed in one of their chassis before Factory Five had one. With stock headers and a custom PAE tune, it made 414RWHP on our Dyno Jet.

Another is a 1989 Mustang LX, that we swapped a new Coyote 5.0 for his aluminum 347. This is an open track/road race car that is driven to the track pulling a trailer with his track wheels and tools.

The third one is a 1987 Mustang GT, that is receiving a 2012 BOSS 302 engine.

With a 5.0 Coyote, complete with the control pack costing less than $8000, this has got to be the best bang for the buck.

We will post more details on our projects page soon.
