You will find this engine listed in the vehicle configurator and part selector as simply: . The community dubbed it the "Coyote" because of its distinct firing order, quad-cam layout, and the fact it appears exclusively in high-performance American cars within the game (such as the Bolton Supernova or Salem Flamethrower ).
Do not sell the engine in the car. Remove the engine, restore it to 100% on the stand, then reinstall. The game calculates the car’s value based on individual part condition. A perfect engine triples the car’s sale price.
The game’s “test path” mode is invaluable here—players can run the engine on a stand to check compression, oil pressure, and timing before installing it in a car. A single misaligned camshaft or a missing timing chain guide will cause rough running or a no-start condition, just as in real life.
