FINALLY! How to delete your 4.6 3V Mustang engine and swap it for a first Gen Coyote!

The day has finally come! We started the real journey on the windviel car this weekend by removing the old 4.6 3V and preparing to replace it with a first gen coyote!
It isn't quite step by step but if you have access to a lift, this is the way.

this is the best swap series on youtube by far. step by step, answering questions , keeping it clean kudos

[@alexrueckert4705]

Killin it! Wish I had a lift.. well, and a garage. Makes life so much easier

[@MattSoppa]

It sure does!

[@missouri_muscle924]

great video, currently own a 50k mile procharged 3v and cant wait to grow the mustang fleet and swap power plants eventually lol

[@sk8n854]

I'm definitely jealous of the garage set up.

[@UltimateTuneLtd]

Thank you for the well made clean work saving this S197 beasts. Hi5 man

[@joemartin8651]

Very cool. One day a coyote swap will happen. So, I’m taking notes

[@adrb2777]

Excellent project! That’s exactly what I’m doing with my 05gt same color 😎 . Thanks

[@MattSoppa]

Go for it!

[@wyattschult9257]

I’ve got an 09 gt500 and am slowing accumulating parts for a coyote twin set up. These cars are a lot of fun. Great work and nice car. I’m curious what controller your going with. I hear US shift stand alone for the trans burns them up.

[@thomaszmyewski2918]

Why get rid of the 5.4?

[@wyattschult9257]

I built a twin gt350 on hellion turbos and it was infectious. Crazy power, never was a fan of superchargers. Ended up with this car after my wife came back from a trip to find a new car. She pulled into the driveway with it. Work with what you got I guess but I’ve already got an s550 rear end that I’m planning on putting in it. The one write up I’ve found with one person doing that is it’s not too bad with some mild fabrication work. It’s more fun to build and change and modify for me then it is to drive and drag the cars. Yes I can get the power out of the 5.4 but if it’s my car, and I enjoy building cars more then driving, then why not? I’ve done a svt focus engine in an escort, I’ve done a small block in a focus. It’s a habit.

[@gforce_117]

A friend and I both run these controllers. No issues so far several years in. One car making 900 the other 470. Both trannies stock. The tune is critical just like with engine management. They have strategies in the tune and slip detection to help with clutch wear.

[@YoungandLimitless]

I have a 2005 windveil blue mustang gt with a black hood too😂 I have mothr thumper comp cams right now and straight piped

[@ilc-nl3yy]

I'm thinking about buying a low milage Coyote and transmission combo from ebay or somewhere. Approximately, what would a shop charge for labor to remove my 3V and transmission, put the new ones in and get it running for me to drive it home? I know it varies from place to place, but just an approximate price. I'm in North Georgia.

[@MattSoppa]

Impersonally would charge 40 hours to do this whole project

[@phmayer67]

how tall is your garage roof? I have the same lift, but not sure I can clear the engine, trans and subframe. Do you know how much clearance was needed to make this work? thanks!

[@MattSoppa]

My ceiling is vaulted. 11ft at the peak. 8ft walls Hope that helps.

[@BradleyMcCartney]

Sorry if this was already mentioned in the video, but is the whole wiring process the same for an f150 and mustang engine? For example, can I use a mustang PCM and wiring harness with an f150 motor?

[@MattSoppa]

Yup! In fact I have an F150 engine in my Fox and it uses the ford control pack which mimics the Mustang wiring.

[@BradleyMcCartney]

@@MattSoppa Sweet! Thanks so much for the quick response. Good to know I can save a buck on getting an f150 motor and still use your spreadsheet guide when the time comes. Thanks again!!

[@growasetalready]

How does a swap like this do for normal street driving maybe the occasional light to light run like 0-60 or maybe how fast would it do the 1/4 vs a say FBO 3v? Thanks

[@MattSoppa]

This will be perfect for street driving. This engine I’m swapping made the 2012 GT it came from go 10.7 in the 1/4. Not sure a FBO 3V Na can do that

[@MattSoppa]

I’ll also be retaining Ac And cruise control

[@growasetalready]

@@MattSoppa Dam bro thats quick I believe the 3v N/A record was like 11.11 but that was not a comfortable street car lol, cant wait to see your 1/4 mile videos. Great videos keep it up.

[@MattSoppa]

@@growasetalready I’m not sure my car is setup to go that fast like the guy’s 2012 but maybe some day I’ll see what it does.

[@cadenator-lt9kc]

I be watching this video like it’s the Bible for Catholics. One day I’ll do my swap and have this whole tutorial memorized 😂😂😂

Awesome video bud! hey what model is that lift?

[@PapodeArmas]

@@MattSoppa thx bud, I found it online m6k is the model. im gonna get one eventually. love your garage dude, very clean and organized. thats how I keep mine too. do you have a IG also that ppl can follow you?

[@MattSoppa]

@@PapodeArmas yes @mattsoppa and @make.it.modular

[@Cwilltheking]

Do u have any problems with emissions? I wanna do this but im afraid i wont pass emission i dont live in ca but they do check emission readiness

[@MattSoppa]

If you happen to see my latest vid I cover the one thing keeping the check engine light on currently and working through that. I haven’t had that code fixed and through a Drive cycle yet. Research to see how many monitors don’t have to pass for your area

[@Cwilltheking]

@@MattSoppa thank u I will definitely check it out and I believe its 2 can be not ready for my s197 (beautiful car btw)

[@Realfox37]

Tire size?

[@rodfly9237]

my s197 is at 287K im looking to do swap. I love her i want her to live forever

[@MattSoppa]

Hell yeah! My car was just shy of 250k when I swapped it

[@dougsgtp]

Unbolt the caliper, bungee cord them to the side and just unbolt the top of the strut. Easier than busting the ball joint free

[@MattSoppa]

I couldn’t disagree more. Ball joint is one bolt per side and not tapered. Came out stupid easy.

[@ramirezvr9686]

would a gen 1 coyote swap work on a 2007 4.0 v6 automatic mustang?

[@MattSoppa]

Yes with our methods many have

[@skl1cent]

Wish you could help me build my gt500 lol im going to be deleting the 4.6l got myself a 5.4l complete swap kit

[@superblack9570]

Curious to know that swap went? Did you use the 5.4 from the navigator?

[@skl1cent]

@@superblack9570 still havent had a chance to make it happen yet. Works gotten real busy lately. Hoping to get it done next summer

[@skl1cent]

@@superblack9570 also no not a 5.4 from a nav. Actually got the 5.4 off an 08 gt500 same yr as my 08 gt

[@adrb2777]

I’m interested in buying your old 3v engine and exhaust.

[@MattSoppa]

Exhaust is sold already, someone is coming Wednesday for the 3V

[@TheSeangerber]

why did you go with the gen 1 ?

[@MattSoppa]

Gen 1 ECU CAN bus communicates well with every system in the 05-09 except for the reverse lights.

[@Moneychain2]

You couldn't pull the motor out as opposed to taking out the whole bottom?

[@MattSoppa]

This way was actually waaayy easier

[@jamesranger9193]

Where are you located

[@MattSoppa]

Arizona

[@danielroberson5421]

But I like my 3 valve.

[@sinistersilverado965]

I have a 07 GT, if I do a swap it will be to a LS

[@MattSoppa]

That’s the coolest comment ever

[@ryankadolph3073]

Wow, I’ve never seen one of those. You are a super individual. Good luck blazing that trail.

[@anthonybeaty6311]

What transmission is that?

[@MattSoppa]

Stock 3V TR3650

[@anthonybeaty6311]

Thank you

@@MattSoppa did you use the 3v clutch and flywheel?

[@anounTT]

I think you forgot the music around 11:40

[@MattSoppa]

I didn’t. Got hit with a copywrite, muted it

[@projectlsxify]

Will you be selling your 3v engine?

[@MattSoppa]

It is long gone

[@grocerygetr6871]

GET'R DUN

[@michaeljohn7405]

Why not just stroke it and port and polish the heads and run racing pulleys and a intake manifold

[@MattSoppa]

No one does that to a 3V. Besides you’d get like 50hp. The coyote I put in has 500

[@charlesmeaux3954]

The old " engine delete" Mod right? LOL is this your first time with a car? It is called a motor swap.

[@MattSoppa]

Was swap not in the title??

[@beekeeper6109]

You’re joking right? First time around a car? It’s called a motor not an engine? If you were talking electric you might have a point but not with an IC engine/motor. Ugh

[@missouri_muscle924]

have a sense of humor you egg, you’re probably the proud owner of a 2v

[@srte147]

It was inevitable

[@qy3329]

just buy a 11' and up S197 and dont waste time and money on shit like this

This is why no one will remember your name
