Subframe connectors, rear suspension fix, 5-lug/4 wheel disc conversion, upgraded struts/shocks, steeper rear gears: Now you're ready to swap in the Coyote.
Got my first fox 5.0 2 days ago. After wanting one every since I was 13!! Love the channel bro!!
You nailed it on every point. I’m just starting my F100 coyote swap. There is a lot but at least I know I’ve covered all of the bases you just described. GEN 2 6R80.
I’ve been wanting to coyote swap my 70 cougar but I’m trying to find a wrecked mustang because I plan on doing a sort of resto mod.
I have a 68 and just scored a voodoo motor and trans
@@The505face that's gonna be SICK
Sounds awesome brother.
I hadn't realize you planned to swap to the gen 2 motor at some point. Good points all, and I remember you debating with the engine bay early on. It was definitely a good choice to do it then.
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!
😇😎😀
You spent 10 grand on a 89 convertible? What
Love your comments and helps, doing this in an 88 Thunderbird Turbo coupe
Needs more cow bell!!!
InstaBlaster.
Whatever budget you have in mind for just about any big project on you're foxbody Triple it
Great job looks great
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.
Another video to recap your whole build would be awesome!! Beautiful work! I want more information on the gen 3 5.0!!!
D Rod Once she’s done I will definitely do a full recap of the whole build
This might be asking a lot,but it would be nice if you made a parts list and at the time of purchase prices for every thing that has been done so far.
Superfaucker69 Full parts list coming very soon
Power by the Hour will quote you every single piece of the puzzle.
Great information! I learned a couple of things that I will keep in mind when I swap an EcoBoost into mine (eventually).
Bro! I really want to do that next!
Foxcast Media Awesome! I’m planning on a 2.0 or 2.3 4-cylinder EcoBoost since my 88 Mustang is a 2.3. I want to stay true to its 4-banger roots but go modern at the same time.
That looks so neat no wires showing nothing !!!! Looks awesome
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 :)
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.
To each his own, just keep it ford powered!
Foxcast Media it would be sacrilege not to. No sissy LS swaps going into any Ford of mine
Lol you are dreaming there
@@jdigitalseven7 dreaming about what? Pushrod stroker builds at least meeting coyote #s or about sissy LS swaps?
92notchback302 yeah who likes to go fast for a lot less with much better engine
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.
Really considering doing a coyote swap on a 97 tbird. Sucks hardly anyone does them but that's why I want to in the first place lol thanks for the tips
I'm about 20k into my gen2 coyote swap not including car and labor, I am hoping it will be done by Feb, love the channel btw.
how did it go
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
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.
@@midnight347 I don’t disagree at all. But I don’t need more than 450hp or so in a old truck to drive for pleasure
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.
I'm starting to think about a swap, and I also I need to watch some of these old vids from the gearhead704 acct. 😉
If I had a ton of cash I would do a Coyote Swap in my 96 Ford F150 in a heart beat.
That would be fun!
I know man like I mean they should start swapping these engines in the 92-96 Ford Trucks more often.
Same thing I'm trying to do in a 92 xlt
An older mod family engine is cheaper and can make the power you need..
@@PureCountryof91 Older 5.0s arent true 5.0s...plus they dont make anywhere near the power of coyote engines. The ugly as sin fox body Mustangs (looking like a blown out Escort) were fast due to them being small and light weight.
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.
Beautiful clean engine bay, I’m really considering doing my 1968 Fastback, 15K plus to do the swap
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.
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
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.
I had a 70 nova with drum breaks all the way around. Had a 406 small block spraying 100 with a best of 6.90s (1/8 mile). That was interesting on the street. Make a 1/8 hit and it took 1/2 mile to stop lol. My 92 lx ran 7.70s (1/8 mi) with stock breaks. That mustang was like a indy car breaking in comparison to that Nova lol.
There is actually 5 different kinds of gen 1 coyote,and 9 different coyotes total from Gen 1 to Gen 3. The Gen 2 and Gen 3 Coyotes actually use the Boss 302 Gen 1 design for the Block,crank,rods,cams.
11 to 12 - has oil squirter (mustang/F150)
13 to 14 - oil squirter removed(F150/Must)
13 to 14 - "roadrunner" boss 302 (forged int)
15/17 to 18/21 - Mustang/F150
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.
Brakes are often overlooked, and massively important on a car with some power
Hello i already bought the 2012 boss engine and the complete wire harness swap front CJ pony do I need to tune makes its running?
Great informative video. If I had the donor car and the donor engine, roughly what's the cost for a quality conversion to put them together... All in, soup to nuts, wiring, parts, etc. Automatic 10R80 or Tremec 6spd. All in.
Looks just like the car I drove in high school in the 90's. Minus the coyote and I had the grey ponies... Nice car..
Hello wouldn't know what your on about here in the UK but interesting to know and learn plus watch.
Thanks for answering questions I had about the swap.
Hey Man; a lot to consider. Can I make a suggestion? Put the camera on a tripod-- it's a simple fix!
could you recommend a website or place to but a crate motor determined to do a swapped to a 96 up under 04 any suggestion or help would be awesome ?
Fantastic engine bay work
The brakes are not inadequate. There is an article showing stock vs upgraded brakes and stopping distance didn’t really improve all that much.
Currently dropping a gen 2 coyote into my 01 Cobra with a 6 speed behind it. Videos up soon.
where's the video? all I could find was some strange capstone video
Nice build super clean and matched
Looks factory!! And I hate mustang's. Especially red. Good job!!
I agree with inadequate brakes I've smoked the brakes on my SSP mustang in high speed braking .
You can buy very good high performance or custom build brake pads that will fix your problems with standard brake pads , brake pad technology has made great strides, so what if you spend $200-$300 on top grade pads? Stop buying on price and find the best for your needs then pay the price.....then.....carefully follow the run in procedures, after that you won't stop smiling
My dream car is a 1970 Boss 429. I always wanted to put a Boss 429 in a first gen Mustang but what you guys are doing is simple AWSUM !!!!!!! Keep up the great work guy's
Why? Why? Would I spend so much money for this? I had a 351w stroked to a 393. AFR 185 heads , a roller cam ,forget specs. 750 quick fuel carb. The things is a beast. Completely happy with it and the money I spent.
I have to say I have watched your videos of your mustang and some other you have the nicest I have ever seen I have always been a Chevy person but have always wanted a 90-93 hatch finally my wife told me to get one so I went looking wanted something that has not been beat on so found the 2.3 version interior is half way decent paint is trash but for 500 as my project not bad and your I have to say has inspired me on what I would like to do thanks for you awesome videos and keep it up can't wait for the race you have spoken about with the newer mustang
Engine bay looks awesome man! love the build! Did you ever get a chance to throw it on a dyno?
Jesus, 🙈🙈🙈 this coyote swap has me I’m in same backwards position, omg it’s a huge hassle, I had like around 30k laying around for my 66 f100 swap/project and now I’m like around 45k with shit allover the place, in pieces. This fun project turned into never-ending pain in the ass!
What instrument cluster is installed in this fox?
Im just curious about the tuning part. Isnt there drag race classes that run these coyotes with the factory tune? They use foxbodys... they have great suspension and are light i get that, but these guys are running 10.30s with a sealed coyote(factory tune)
I was going to do a coyote swap until I did a spread sheet on the cost. You can easily spend 10k. Jz made more sense for me.
Can you do a video displaying of showing the different coyote motors including the truck motors...perhaps even a link showing them
That fox is super straight! Coyote FTW!
Do you have anything you want to get rid of from the engine that was in the car
Where can I get those black plates under the CC Plates?
Timothy Voight They rock! Makers-garage.com
@@FoxcastMedia Thank you so much for the quick response!
Im 3.7 swapping an rx7, i wasnt aware there was a control box for thr mt82.
Do you think I could put one of them coyote engines in a Lincoln's 83
Awesome build and great advice. Thanks!
Honored to help bud, thank you for supporting the channel
I got a 91 lx vert I'm thinking about a swap
Just found your video
I’m researching for a coyote swap
In a Ford ‘86 SVO.
What do you think ?
Will the stock breaks be good enough ?
Very good video.
Thank you
I’m thinking about picking up a fox convertible for a cruzer, I want enough get up and go to have fun but daily drive able in nice weather, what would you recommend, 351w or a coyote I’m thinking a coyote for a little better fuel mileage
I have a 91 hatchback. What motor do you recommend for it to be seen and heard?
If you don’t mind what’s a good manual transmission for the coyote along with the control pack and harness ?
What if I get a turn key pallet engine with transmission and wiring harness. All I should have to do is custom drive shaft?
Also I’m putting it in a 96 explorer
Ahh, Luke 14:28. Good Mustang building advise.
I have a 1994 mustang and wanna do a coyote swap. I’m in New York and cant seem to find someone to do it. Need some help
I would like to swap a ford engine in my 69 mustang fastback.. I am looking into reliable mustang engines with stick shift.. any recomendation/suggestions?
Your mustang is beautiful, I’ve been watching your videos and learned a lot, thanks
All I’m trying to figure out is how do I shift into gear when I do the swap
What's a v8 I can swap in a project 67 s code I got? I'm looking for easy and durable with 400hp at max? This is going to be my first car ever and I've loved cars since I was young and I want it to mean something.
I have a 03 GT with the Max Motorsports K-member as well, how does the engine fit with that in there? My major concern has been does it fit with the stock oil pan or will I have to source a moroso coyote swap pan?
Well love the car but considering all involved not to mention price think I'm sticking to the old 302 thanks for another great video, was that a Cobra Engine?
Dont blame you bud. And no, it has TFS heads, E303 cam, and ported Cobra intake
Question is it worth putting a 2.3l turbo engine ( eco boost) one 87 lx also in a 4 cyl I have the motor and trans and the vehicle is for a really cheap price
How much will it costs you to do this in total???
Gonna have to paint mine. Like patina but everyone thinks it's a turd. Gonna build my 86 brand new stock. Then sale and buy one to chop up. LOL
Rod 000 Mine needs paint as well, but it’s gonna be a while
Which alternator and relocation kit did you use?
Looks very compact.
I love the coyote man! It looks gorgeous! Great job and thanks for the helpful video.
What’s up with the wagon in the background?? I love wagons I want one so bad
Black Knuckle Coyote swap, and Tremec 3550 trans. There’s build vids on the channel, first start on the next upload, stay tuned
What part of TN are you in? I have been thinking about adding one to my 72 F-100.
Not hating love the car, but this must be your first build, everything you mentioned had to be thought of first or be done in stages, if you wing it as you go that’s when you have issues, Good luck with the car
dude that red paint looks great
Super cool helpful info thanks
Mauricio flores Glad to do it bud, hope this helps
Doing a 5.0 swap but with a carb and already got the trans so no fucking around with the axle or anything just unbolt bolt back in get fuel to it and electric to the starter
I've always felt that stock brakes where adequate as long as the engine was stock.
They can get scary, once you hit 100 mph and try to stop
Foxcast Media exactly I always lag back on the freeway for that reason because if I need to suddenly stop I need room to stop and downshift to get help with engine braking.
A friend of mine did the swap and they spent over 20k to buy the engine and harness and labor, transmission, etc...
What gauge cluster is that?
Dakota guages
What Radiator and fan are you using, Caleb?
Matt Soppa Champion three core, and a 99-04 Mustang GT fan
Thanks dude, trying to tame my temps in the desert while drifting my Coyote Fox..
People give up due to time. Once everything starts to slow down, it’s hard to look at your car and know it won’t run anytime soon.. & then life happens so unexpected expenses will push everything further back. After that, selling it will seem more beneficial
What would have been wrong with a dart block pushrod motor?
what years was the gen II motors in?????
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! So Beware and God Bless!
Hows the lower paRT OF THE ENGINE DOES IT sit low .?
Can a new m7003z T5 trans handle a coyote swap?
Meh, it will live if you don't put sticky tires on it, but don't expect to shift in the higher RPM range where the coyote shines
I have been down this rabbit hole. Never again! Lol
That is a beautiful fox bud.
Thats a beautiful lx..that paint 👌
I got a raise from my job. I think I’m going to find a white 90-93GT to drop off with a bag of cash and tell them I want a new mustang. No cutting corners do your thing boys
What brake booster was that?
I never did like my brakes on my 5.0 that were stock .
where did you get the mustang cams?
You think it’s easier in a Fox than a new edge?
Thank for the information..👍👍👍
Anytime bud!
