You should make a video about the realistic cost of total swap, I’ve been told $15,000 is a happy medium of where u will be when it’s done and that’s if u do 95% yourself.

I understand the appeal of doing a Coyote swap, the engines make great power and it's a great place to start for future mods. And when they're done right they look and run great. But given the cost and headache involved I'll stick with old school pushrod V8s. You can meet or excede coyote #s with a power adder or stroker build.

You may have helped me in deciding to stick with the rebuild of another 351 windsor...(came in my used 1989 convertible) ... I had the car for 6 years. Drove it for 2 months. Has sat since the motor overrevved... Then I responded to an ad for a mechanic that could rebuild my motor ....it has been a while and I have not been communicated with as far as what needs to be replaced. I bought the car wanting to replace the top (I used to do these prior) ...the top never got replaced cuz money went to groceries... So the car sits with no motor...i wanna get this car running with a new top and stereo ....but it has been a bunch of setbacks. I'm regretting buying this car now cuz I have 10 grand in a car that just sits. That being said... I will eventually get this thing together... Thanks for sharing your experience! 😇😎😀

[@joeykimball5705]

You spent 10 grand on a 89 convertible? What

[@lawrencerogers5209]

Not all swaps require quicktime bellhousings. Later modular 4.6 tremec transmissions stock bellhousings will bolt up to coyote engines. It is only required for the fox T-5 transmissions.

[@FoxcastMedia]

Correct, if you use a trans from any mod motor the bell will work fine, but most fox owners have trans that are set up for an SBF

[@lawrencerogers5209]

Thanks Caleb. Just wanted to clarify for people planning out future swaps. I purchased a complete 3650 transmission for what that bellhousing costs and sold the T-5. Keep up the good content! I enjoy following along. I'm doing the same swap of a Gen 1 F-150 coyote into my 1985 foureyed hatch GT. Full maximum Morotsports suspension. Doing the swap with my father who was the original owner from new.

[@ralphellis4569]

I echo those brake sentiments so much. I had a lightly modded (3.73's, BBK cold air, BBK TB, Mac catback, underdrives)1990 GT hatch in Germany when stationed there. You get it out on the autobahn (A6and A7 freizones for me) and you learn several things. #1. German cars are geared better for autobahn pulls. Even if they have the same amount of power, our "acceleration-focused" gearing and comparatively short freeway onramps here in the states necessitate different gearing, they will pull on you by just having longer legs on the top end. #2. You can literally cook 1979-1993 Fox Body brakes with ONE SERIOUS STOP from ~150mph around a long sweeping corner, into a "stau" ("traffic stoppage on the autobahn"), or when a little Fiat Punto pulls out from in front of a big-rig while you're cooking along @ 130mph in the left lane. Oddly, the drums always seemed to cool down and "work" (used loosely, as that's how they function stock), but I can tell you for sure I had to go to on-post auto parts store probably 4 times to order brakes from the US, driving around on warped rotors for about a week at a time. They're so god-awfully bad.

[@jsimmonstx]

The words "budget" and "engine swap" are mutually exclusive. :) I swapped a 427 Windsor into my 2012, and have spent in excess of $30k just on power train parts.

[@FlyBoyPanda]

[@FoxcastMedia]

D Rod Once she’s done I will definitely do a full recap of the whole build

[@elfiero50]

I t has been my experience (I have done many Frankenswaps), that if you took the money you have in your swap( can't forget the initial vehicle price), you could just buy the car/truck you want. Example: Early '90s fox body that is rust free-$3000, coyote from a mustang-$4000, Cost of swap-$10k(anyone who has done multiple engine swaps knows why I said that number), Total- $17k. you can buy a nice '15 to '17 Mustang GT for that, and you didn't spend a huge chunk of your life doing it.

[@timothypatterson619]

That engine bay looks fantastic man especially with the coyote sitting in there. Real sharp, Great job. Did the same thing with my Saleen build, getting the bay all smoothed out....man did that take forever but i think the end result will be well worth it. Swapping everything in from an 04 Cobra, should be fun when its done :)

[@mikehunt7483]

Thanks for making it a point to focus on brakes. That's the reason 50%+ 03/04 Cobra were wrecked. It's easy to make a car speed up. Not so easy to slow down.

[@FoxcastMedia]

Brakes are often overlooked, and massively important on a car with some power

[@JohnnyRebKy]

With all the good EFI systems available for old motors I’m not so sure I need to do a coyote swap anymore. Edelbrock EFI seems to work really well for people. On guy with a 396 big block went from 11mpg to 15.5mpg with the EFI swap alone. That’s a huge improvement!! I didn’t know how far the aftermarket EFI has come until lately. It’s probably a whole lot less trouble to EFI a 302 or 351 for a Mustang than the coyote swap

[@midnight347]

But even with the best heads cam intake setup it won't make the peak or Rev as far as a stock coyote and you're limited to 500ish if you go boost the gen 1 coyote can do 700 stock long block and the gen 2 800-900 is considered fairly safe with good fuel and tune.

Being from California, I would like to Add, be sure to check with your State DMV concerning there Swaping Engine Laws! For example in California you can't swap a Truck Motor into a Car that was Designed for a non-truck motor car! FROM the factory! Also the Engine you use for your Swap has to be the same year or newer of the Car you are doing the swap on! Now, this only applies to cars built from 1976 and Newer in California or for California!! We have mandatory smog check every 2 years! Also California pasted a new law for newer cars, I believe from 2011 to newer Cars to extend the 2 yr. mandatory smog check by exempting them from 6 to 8 years! :-) Because they didn't pollute the air as bad as the older cars!
