Yeah I saw that on 1320 video's face book page and threw it up on LVC. Did not get any more info on it, wish I had the change to throw that in my car.

I am glad it's done. Now I don't have to do it lol.

It's amazing how low it sits in that bay. Some custom pan design and k-member mods were in order for sure.

Now all it needs is a TVS , or a pair of turbos.

Saw this on Facebook and read through the comments on 1320's page.... Definitely some haters out there! The Coyote is a very impressive motor, I'm sure it's lighter than the 4.6 DOHC too. Impressive swap for sure!

Morning guys,
Yep,this is my Baby yall are talking about..sleeper isn't the word for it when I show up at the track LOL!! She is currently running 10.90's on 28" Hoosier stiff wall slicks,broke 3 half shafts last week when I decided to go back to the 26's,way more power that the stockers can handle off the line on a true 4:10...

Wasn't a cake walk..LOL i'll post some links when I get the build info better organized on PhotoBucket or something like that...
 
To be honest with you guys...with what that engine costs (coyote swap ain't cheap)...and with the grief you're going to have installing it anyway...if I was going to spend that much, I'd just do a Chevy 6.2 LS, at least that particular bullet takes up maybe half the space.

That, or the 6.2 truck V8.

(ducks behind chair)

Having spent some time around the all-new 2015 Mustang...let's just say that there's no way in Hell I'm ever gonna buy one, it's that freaking ugly, and they stole the 'claustrophobic greenhouse' idea straight from the Camaro, as you really can't see out of that...that...thing. It's really awesome as to how much the hood sticks up on the nose, it's like driving a modern LeMans Prototype with the huge front fenders, but they put a wall up between them. Very crappy design, and the Lincoln/T-bird has so much more visibility from inside the cabin. So essentially, I'm kinda stuck with the garbage I have now, as I like...windows.

no no, tell us how you really feel! lol.

what grief do you expect from a bolt in modular platform motor btw?
some wiring, mount the gas pedal, and run a stand alone trans control, or manual swap.

sounds a lot easier than all the custom fabrication for something that doesn't bolt in.

LS motors are fine i guess, but at that point, just buy a chevy.
