What You Need To Know Before Coyote Swapping Your Classic Mustang

[@dreamingcode]

The hardest part is not the swap but finding a competent shop that knows how to do everything correctly

[@BlacknRedSN95]

you want something done right you do it yourself.

[@myoneblackfriend3151]

I have long wondered about this. I have never been a back to stock guy. That is what museums are for. Thank you for making this video. It sounds like swapping an 80s 5.0 and a turbo for about $1,500 isn’t a bad way to go either.

[@LT-jc4qb]

That doesn't sound like a bad way to go at all! $1,500 sounds a heck of a lot cheaper than this $20,000 and more nightmare of modification.

[@MattsARocknRolla]

This is seriously the best video I’ve ever watched to swap a coyote engine. No nonsense just to the point

[@northwayperformance]

My dream is to swap my 1989 GT one day! Takes about 20 grand from what I have researched.

[@jranimations5955]

What are the alternative engine swaps for an ‘88 Fox body? The less expensive/ complicated the better. I would like to upgrade the engine someday, but right now I think I just need a running engine more than anything 😅

[@heartswap5609]

I keep going back and forth, rebuild the 390 on my 67 fastback or coyote swap.

[@marrrrrowley3657]

That’s a tough one.

[@barthk3640]

If it's an original 390 car. Personally, Id prob restore it. If not. Maybe consider going to a turbo 351 set up. Less hassle and way more horsepower per $ then the yote swap. Especially if you're already considering going to a coil over front suspension set up. Which I'd have to believe you are. If you're considering the coyote. I had the same argument w myself on my current build. (69 cougar xr7) And ultimately for what I wanted to achieve. The windsor/turbo, is a better fit for my goals. On this particular project anyway. Best of luck w the build, whatever you decide.

[@orangesharpy]

Coyote is the rage now but in 25 years from now I'm afraid I might regret chopping up a classic when the future may hold much better less invasive options. I'm glad I did not have the means to modify my Mustang how I wanted to when I was in my early 20's. I'd probably have a sagging full fiberglass shell on a tube chassis and have lost the charm of driving an actual 66 Mustang.

[@cjponyparts]

Styles do obviously change but this car was almost 90% replacement sheetmetal so any "original" value left the building a long time ago!

[@orangesharpy]

@@cjponyparts sounds good

[@dhuerta1911]

I wish the new 7.3 Godzilla was more available that seems like it would be a better alternative for older mustangs

[@johnnymula2305]

All i kept hearing was, you’ll need to spend more $ here, more $ here, more $ here. Screw that! Ill keep the factory 390 in my 67 Cougar GT.

[@ricklytle7206]

Just wondering if a 4.6L V3 swap might provide enough performance boost for many viewers. I have a 2009 Bullitt Edition and am happy with the 4.6L's performance. The 4.6L should be more affordable. BTW ... Great video Bill.

[@bjsteg79]

Same effort and parts to fit it, may as well chip in the little extra and get a coyote.

[@MustyChalupa]

I actually have been wondering about something like this my dad has been wanting to swap the drivetrain from a 98 gt to a 65 coupe

[@cjponyparts]

The mechanics of the swap are pretty similar to a coyote. I would consider the cost involved since the 98 GT engine stock only makes around 225 hp

[@MustyChalupa]

@@cjponyparts well the 65 was totaled by my uncle 30 years ago and spent nearly 20 years in a cow pasture before being put under a barn. Only about 10 years ago did my dad bring it home and decided to buy the totaled gt for the drivetrain, why🤷🏽‍♂️?idk other than it was $820. But what engine would you suggest to put into the 65?

[@MustyChalupa]

@@cjponyparts also he’s not really building it as a race car i think he just wants his first car to drive again and to have more of a pretty car that you could cut up in a little bit

[@jrvbamafan1]

@@MustyChalupa that 98 gt engine would be perfectly fine....at 225 hp and 290 lb ft of torque, it has as much or more power than any other factory 65 mustang would minus a K code car, and the fact it's a 281 cu in would be a good replacement for the 289

[@Southside_Strangler]

Dammit bill, I’m all like naw I’m gonna keep my pushrod engine now I’m all fired up for a coyote again

[@BrandonCockridge18]

Don’t do it man! Keep the push rod engine! But then again.... Coyote swap would so fun once completed! But idk man... don’t do it... Shoot... nevermind.... do it bro!

[@jaketrevino1659]

I’m in same boat except I don’t have an engine for my 65 fastback project. I already have a t5 transmission I can either buy an f150 my buddy has that runs and drives for $500 and use the 5.0 from it or my other buddy has a totaled 2013 gt for $4500. If I go the f150 it will my car on the rode a lot faster

[@zacharyrodriguez1198]

Me personally I want the coupe version then the Fastback version only due to the reason that the Fastback version is what people want more. then after that I would just rather due the full stock mustang Engine+Transmission and then I would like to have it the blue color that you have it in this video... Would love for y'all to make a build series so that it can help everyone out on how to do certain things without explaining it. Not everyone is going to understand when you explain then compared to actually showing on how to do it. Hopefully this all makes sense.

[@sa22see]

I want a jet engine on my Fairlane so i can leave this planet.

[@Golkin605]

just wondering if you get a swap done. do you still have to get a smog check now since its a newer engine and not the original engines? curious on how that works

[@sammyc1234]

What front bumper is that?? I really like it

[@nigel8649]

I just really want to know the labor cost for Coyote to '64 - '70 plus kit cost$. ? VS 80's to '93 same. assuming you have a complete engine and maybe trans with cpu and harness. How and which years are the easiest to coyote swap? Assuming you want a manual transmission, possible swap.

[@eddie_n_jackievillanueva9377]

Good day how does one buy already done coyote swap classic?

[@MikeTurner-Home-Appraiser]

Meh, can't beat the sound of an old school V8. It may be the Boomer in me but the Coyote engine exhaust noise sounds weird in a classic Mustang. I'm in the final stages of a restomod 65 Mustang and opted for old school small block with a stroker kit, headers and a holley 4 bbl carb. Mild performance but high quality build (cost was just under $10k) with just a bit of "lope" in the cam at idle and that old school throaty V8 sound that just makes everyone smile. I don't need to be the fastest, my goal is to be the coolest "kid" on the block.

[@dabisnit]

I get what you mean, old school carburated engines sound way better. But if you add aftermarket cam shafts to a coyote is sounds way better than without. But then again, the price is another few thousand kzbin.info/www/bejne/en25qmmfg9mobJo

[@CJColvin]

Awesome brother. What stroker is it and what kind of Aluminium heads are you putting on you're small block.

[@MikeTurner-Home-Appraiser]

@@CJColvin 331 Stroker and stock heads with a roller cam. Aluminum heads are nice but not necessary for my build goals. (350hp and around 400ftlbs torque)

[@CJColvin]

@@MikeTurner-Home-Appraiser Are you planning on porting and polishing em or are they stock cast.

[@MikeTurner-Home-Appraiser]

@@CJColvin The engine has been ready for a few months. Just finishing up the interior. My heads were rebuilt by Valley Head service in Northridge, CA. The same folks who did most of the original racing Shelby heads. I was advised that porting and polishing was not worth it for my build goals.

[@jeminem619]

What would be the best way to do a coyote swap in stages? Like keeping the original engine and transmission until all other necessary changes such as suspension and even restoration/modification of the body and interior are complete? Would that be possible?

[@musclecargarage8882]

Cant beat a the 89-93 5.0 swap in classic mustang its so much more cheaper and easier to swap

[@alexchristian5399]

But the old 5.0 make no power. You have to build them and spend thousands of dollars to do so. If you have the money much rather just buy a new coyote with an updated engine and stronger transmission that doesn’t have to be built to go fast
