The Coyote 5.0 uses the same motor mounts as the Boss302(Mustang engine from 2005-2010) from 2011-2014. There are also plenty of aftermarket parts for the swap such as bell housing, wiring, and fuel system. Do you believe this is worth it.
who's going to be doing it?
Just me and my little brother
Have you swapped an engine before? Done all your research? You have diagnostic programming device and know how to program modules? I take it since you’re asking here that you have not. You may want to read up it first to see what’s involved. It’s not as simple as pulling one engine out and putting another in. If you’ve never done it before then I think you can forget about it unless you want to devote your life to auto technology for the next year or so. If it were easy then shops wouldn’t be charging tens of thousands of dollars for such services.
Yes, I understand that is why I had asked about this being a good first engine swap. All because it is the simplest Ford engine swap I could find.
I somewhat have swapped an engine, I say somewhat because I helped my Automotive teacher put a 454 in a C10 for his father in law and I was only there for half the swap. The C10 was running by the end of the year.
A c10 is very primitive compared to modern vehicles. I honestly don’t think it’s worth it on anything from this millennium unless you really want to deep dive into auto technology. Sounds like you have some mechanical skills so that’s good, will also need a bit of a background in computer science, and electronics engineering. Go to your local college library and see what textbooks they have. Also Start reading manuals on how to use the OEM computer interface tools.
Yeah, probably. I assume you are looking for performance gains. I’m not a Ford guy, but seems like the Coyote 5.0 is a popular motor for project cars.
Talk to your local Mustang club and see if you can find someone who’s dunnit. Maybe take a look at it at cars-and-coffee or something.
Thanks for reminding me about cars and coffee cause I live in Texas so engine swaps are pretty common.
