Fantastic and comprehensive PSA! You guys managed to do what few vendors are: make a reference video in which you also advertise your own products without being annoying salesmen. Instead of feeling like the video was made to sell products first, inform potential swappers/customers second or worse; it was 100% the other way around. Cheers and thanks, PBH!
I'm looking at a 2012 f150 4wd, looking to install complete engine, auto trans, and transfer case in a 78 bronco.question is what am I looking at to using from truck, and will still need to purchase?
I plan on dropping a Gen 1 into my 1998 GT, would love to keep my 4r70w instead of having to buy a new transmission. People say LS swaps are cheap but you can easily find a Gen 1 in good shape for less than $4500 and I’m up here in Jacksonville where car parts within a 100 mile radius don’t last long, North Florida has their share of car enthusiasts 😂
Having hard time finding motor mounts for Coyote. I have a ‘59 Fairlane it’s going into. Any suggestions? Thanks for this informative video!!! The part that really resonated (and reality checked) with me is what you want out of it. Is it a cruiser, car shows, etc? Are you just looking for long distance trips? Gen 1 and Gen 2 are just fine. That opened up so much more in my search that it doesn’t necessarily have to be a Gen 3. Subbed and followed!! Thank you guys for all that you do!
This is perfect. I was doing some research on how difficult it would be to Coyote swap my 01 mustang and saw this video. To the point instructions on what is needed and goes through most of the build. Thanks guys.
Definitely good info. My son and I are about to start ordering all the goodies to start building a 23T Bucket kit from Speedway Motors; and so we have something totally different from what you see in the majority of those cars, do a coyote swap. I have a 2013 Ford F150 that may wind up being the donor or we are going to sell it and buy a newer Mustang Coyote and trans out of a wrecking yard with the ECM and wiring harness. The way it looks after watching this video we will mainly need a set of custom made roadster headers. Thanks for what you do!
This would be the first time I completely build a car from the ground up. Doing lots of research when i found this video 👍🏻thanks for explaining all the little details that can really become a headache. You're the best bro
I just started my journey of this exact thing!!! Its nice to have someone not only explain what would work but also someone who explains why something wont work and they also offer an alternative. Makes it less scary
The 4wd 6r80 has a slip yoke for those of you who want to swap one into your older trucks. I swapped a 6r80 into my 07 f150 fx4 and it took some modification but its in and driving. Next up is the 5.4 swap to the 5.0 coyote 😊
I have a 66 falcon that im building and had originally decided to go, LS, yes i was going to be an LS bro, I love fords but cant beat how the LS can make power in a small package. Ive since changed direction and scored a coyote 5.0. I am currently trimming the shock towers and adding bracing. I made a mock up motor out of thin wood panels. I am able to get 2 inches of clearance on both sides of the valve cover corners and widens back up from there down leaving plenty of room for headers. Have not gotten to the steering column yet. Baby steps.
Btw, it's not a veritable runner intake, it's a charge motion control valve. It's basically a flap near the intake port that acts a little like a venturi in a carburetor. The idea being to enhance the air charge velocity at low engine speeds to improve combustion and then open the valve at higher engine speed to remove restriction. For an engine swap you can pin the valve open if it's not running an oem ecu and it acts like a normal intake.
That's the same set-up with the Town car, are you going with the F-150 motor and trans or mustangs setup? Thinking of swapping the gen 3 F-150 motor and transmission in with whole harness and computer
@@toranowatson7551 hey there, I'll likely be doing a truck motor from a wrecked vehicle. I live in the middle of literally nowhere, and I'll be lucky enough to get my hands on a truck engine lol. I know the differences more or less between the two platforms, and the different generations well enough. We'll see what presents itself. In either instance, gen 1 Mustang manifolds are choice for panther swaps as far as I understand.
Awesome Video. Why? Exactly what the customer needs to know. What about a Steering Column w/ QA1 front suspension for a 1970 Ford F100 that connects from the rack to the steering column?
Good job on explaining different areas of concern, swapping to early cars. Hoping to do a Coyote Whipple or equiv in 64 Comet which has a FE in it now. Also, upgrading front susp with Mustang SN95 tubular front clip for ease of parts. You'll be hearing from me. Thanks again.
When I swamp the engine to coyote. Can I use my aftermarket stereo and dash? Or do I need something else. I’m deciding between hallteck or holly terminator x for my 15 f150 2.7l swap to coyote
Frank: You the man!!! Covered it all. Swap Gen 2 or 3 with 4R70W Trans in my 1997 Mark VIII LSC to start, the possible 6 Speed Manuel later on. Thanks, AK
Thank you Arthur. Yes you can change it later on. With a 4r70w you will use a manual trans control pack which will also be used with the 6 speed manual later on.
WOW, What a great video. I'm subscribing to this channel. I want to put a coyote in my 67 bronco. Have a LOT of questions but this video answered most of them. Thank you for this very informative video.
I have just installed a gen 3 coyote in a 95 -F-150 the engine is currently at a 5 degree angle . ( Front is higher by 5 degrees ) What is an acceptable amount of angle?
Don't know how old this video is but very helpful I'm thinking about putting a Coyote in my 64 Clemente Comment convertible I think it would look kind of sweet And run like a bad outta hell
Hey guys I have a 1980 ford cortina TE and it is my massive project, I have not really started on much yet, I'm more so just laying out my goals, aspirations and ideas just so that I have an idea on the direction I'm heading. And by this video I am considering engine swapping to a Coyote. This has been an awesome video. I was wondering if anyone has any tips that could be more specific to my build if anyone has seen something like this done to a Corry. Cheers
Glad I found this. Getting ready to do a GenI or II in my SN95 '02 GT. I'm in CA so it will be smog (CARB) legal for the state. I also open track the car so that will be a plus. I'll be dropping an email soon to go over my build, but at least I have a little better idea on what's involved. Done this type of work all my life so it'll just be another challenge. I plan a good documentation as well. Thanks!
Jeremy Gattenby I’m in the planning stages for a 69 Restomod build and after tons of research I found it to be just as expensive to put a coyote motor in the car. Both motors would require the same amount of work and are roughly the same cost/ power output. I’d love to have a twin turbo motor in my mustang but at this point I might as well do a coyote swap. With the coyote swap many have done it, many companies have parts for the swap, I can buy a wrecked gt to get many parts I’ll need compared to having to source a 3.5L, manual transmission and all the parts associated. I even have access to below market prices on the parts but it’s still about the same cost either direction. Might as well do a coyote swap then right?
Saw Greater I love the Ecoboost motor. It delivers an amazing amount of torque. It’s light weight, efficient and quiet. Personally I prefer the coyote for a Mustang. It’s a 5.0, it’s got the hp and the muscle car sound. I say go Coyote but honestly, both drive great.
I’ve been doing a swap into my 94 z28. It’s been a challenge , trans that will used is a power glide. I’ve been doing this swap for about 2yrs now. Im deep into it and don’t recommend anyone trying it hahahaha.
Once I've saved up, gonna use this to help try to put a coyote in my first gen ranger. I've already figured out the engine bay size problem, but that can't start until I'm finished turning the thing into a temporary daily driver. Would be pretty sweet to do this to a 70s crew cab tho....
Glad it helped! Here is a document parts list we drafted for the gt guys. A lot of it will cross over to you and your build. docs.google.com/document/d/1D52g5Yn2grHJk8TOTkGTMR2RCra1RVJ_nHQIllJHu-E/edit?usp=sharing
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this. I have an 04 mustang v6 and having all this information is a big help. Thank you for all the details. It's just what I needed.
So im stuck in between TH400 and a 6r80 decision. The th400 is more bidget friendly but how difficult would it be to get the cpu and installation parts and tuning for it?
I have a 2.3L eco boost mustang and I was wondering if the gen 3 5.0 would fit it should right? To me it seems logical but I’m not sure if the motor mount would work or if I will need a new transmission I know for sure I will need a new exhaust but I just really want to know if the 5.0 would fit and work fine with my stock transmission
I think the Truck coyote also has a extra oil cooling feature designed to help it cool during towing. I can’t remember exactly what it is but it’s a modification they made to the oil circulation system
Factory parts oem , this guy hit it right , folks wonder why shit don’t work right well one reason it needs factory oem or motor craft stuff to get the performance out of these vehicles. Good video here.
Been debating whether to go with a stroked sbf or a coyote swap in my fox in the near future because i was concerned about doing the swap but it seems like there is a huge amount of support for the swap these days. Will definitely reference this video when the time comes.
A 393w swap has to be the easiest, cheapest way to go fast! Coyotes are awesome, but wide, expensive, and simply too expensive!! A 393, or jump to a 460 based motor is easier in foxes! You can make a fox fly with a 351w based motor!! The low end torque 385 series motors with heads, cam, intake is thousands of $$$ cheaper!! Far fewer parts to worry bout to boot! The Coyote is so wide you could put a 3rd series 521vin!!
I've done 3 2300 4 banger and one of those little redheaded stepchild 6 cylinder swaps! With the 5 liter motor Mounts and crown vic oil pan its a drop in! I got lucky, scored a crown vic police motor, Mounts, alternator, power steering, air conditioner! A blind squirre can find a nut once in a lifetime!
I wouldn’t even know where to start. My biggest mistake was not learning much about wiring. When I see a bunch of wires going everywhere I just give up. I’d love to have a COYOTE f100 and 6 speed but the jungle of wiring makes it impossible for me. I’m afraid to ask what it would cost to pay someone for a install I think a Edelbrock EFI system on a old motor would be next best thing. They really seem to work well at making the old motors more efficient. One guy with a 396 BBC went from 11mpg to 15.5mpg by the EFI swap alone. That’s a significant gain!!
Johnny, most swaps will consume about 100-120 hours to wire, install, and plumb a powertrain. That does not include frame modification if they are more than bolt like a fox chassis mustang. The f100 do have some killer swap options out there for suspension but shops like Fat Fender Garage have mounting kits for stock chassis. Mix that with our powertrain products and the swap becomes for of an installation then an exercise in figuring things out. The wiring for the powertrain is just about all plug and play for both manual and auto. So do not be afraid of that, we got you covered!
I blew up my 2001 mustang GT 4.6 shock automatic. I want to do the coyote swap. What parts should I start with and where should I look for the kits and help.
Javi we have a new harness coming out that will make that swap much much easier than even a fox body. As soon as we have it we will be doing a video on it. subscribe so you do not miss it.
@@PowerByTheHourPerformance Sounds great hopefully i can get it in time! I'll be def be doing a video with a thorough walk through since there is really not a single one on youtube for the s197 apart from Johnathan harder's GT and brenspeed's V6 but they don't go into much detail hands on doing the swap. Johnathan mentioned he used one of your control packs so that's what brought me here. It'd be cool to look back to this video and comment 6 months from now once my swap is done
@@anthonyjones5047 Still looking to do it?? I'm starting on mine next week. Frank was helpful through email so i think i should be good to go to get the car running with this v6. Probably won't post videos til i finish the swap, but it'll be posting on IG @ Mostank_vzlow. Trying to get the build done before the spring then i'll have time to edit the videos
About to do a second gen coyote 6 speed swap out of a 2017 mustang into a 78 f100 custom step side. This was very informative on what will be needed to do so for the most part. Will most likely buy some of the components you offer to help with the swap.
Dude its always been of dream of mine to own a Killer new edge Mustang! I've been doing a ton of research on this engine swap! It's super intimidating but this video definitely helps let me know what I need to research!
Check out this link docs.google.com/document/d/1D52g5Yn2grHJk8TOTkGTMR2RCra1RVJ_nHQIllJHu-E/edit We wrote this up to help guys doing that exact swap. Thank you for the support.
So the person that posted this seems really knowledgeable about engine swaps and mustangs specifically, I’m currently saving up to engine swap my v6 2000 auto mustang convertible, it was my first car so she means a lot to me, otherwise I’d just get a new mustang, would you recommend a coyote swap and a manual for this? I want something reliable, decently simple for a good shop to do, and potential for power because sometimes you can never get enough. I know it will be expensive for a shop to to any engine swap so if most are going to be around the $20k mark I was thinking go big or go home you know? Also extra note, I’d like AC, radio, power steering, and the rest of the luxury electronics running, but considering it’ll be a great sounding convertible I won’t need a lot of that if I’m being honest
I agree 100 percent with using factory computers my son and l built a car and used a new style computerized engine and transmission,we used a popular aftermarket computer,and yes it runs well it will randomly loose tune and have to be retuned kinda a pain but that's the aftermarket for you lol 😆
Just picked up a 2006 Vista Blue GT with 57,000 miles on it. Definitely going to do a Coyote swap and this video was very helpful. Thank you for sharing and greetings from the Buckeye State.
I have a base model v6 2006 vista blue and was thinking about swapping a coyote in a year or two once I’m done with college. She needs some work but she’s been good to me.
I have a square body GMC. I won't to put a coyote in it. Can I pull all the wiring harness out of a F150 from front bumper to the rear bumper and cooling system. And would that work? I am using the 6r80 transmission that came out of a F150 and engine too and the ECU and TCU. And I have the gas pedal too. What else do you think I need? And do I need a tune?
It can be done that way. The best guidance we can offer is to try and use everything from the truck to ensure all systems will work. If anything is left u plugged you will get messages on the dashboard. Have not seen a c10 done like that and honestly not many have completed swaps like this.
What about sticking a 2015 5.0 Coyote in a 1955 F100........ W/ TCI mustang II front suspension......haven't bought the motor yet but thinking about it.
We have some parts that will help get this done. We even have a harness in the works to make it a plug and play job. Stay in touch as we working to release that harness and will make video on this exact swap
Hey so I am doing a ford fusion 2.5 swap woth the coyote v8 yall don't have to put down I just want some direction to what I should start with should I buy a used engine cause I'm not willing to pay the brand new prices thanks for your time
I have a 1956 F-100 the have a Chevy 350 engine swap and a turbo 300 transmission installation it has a 1969 Chevelle front clip. I would like to put the thread gen coyote with the 10-speed transmission. Can you give me some pointers what I will need to get the swap accomplish especially when it comes to engine mount
Well that is an odd combo to try and fit the Coyote. Rule of thumb on fitment is that you need to target what is needed to put a Modular Ford V8 in that front clip. All the 4.6L, 5.4L, and 5.0L Modular engine family have very similar motor mount pads on the block. Now, I have never seen a Modular ford swapped Chevelle so I think we are entering custom motor mount territory for sure. Mount kits are out there for the modular fords so that is a start.
Fantastic and comprehensive PSA! You guys managed to do what few vendors are: make a reference video in which you also advertise your own products without being annoying salesmen.

Glad it helped! Here is a document parts list we drafted for the gt guys. A lot of it will cross over to you and your build.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this. I have an 04 mustang v6 and having all this information is a big help. Thank you for all the details. It's just what I needed.
So im stuck in between TH400 and a 6r80 decision. The th400 is more bidget friendly but how difficult would it be to get the cpu and installation parts and tuning for it?
I have a 2.3L eco boost mustang and I was wondering if the gen 3 5.0 would fit it should right? To me it seems logical but I’m not sure if the motor mount would work or if I will need a new transmission I know for sure I will need a new exhaust but I just really want to know if the 5.0 would fit and work fine with my stock transmission
What about 98 expedition
I think the Truck coyote also has a extra oil cooling feature designed to help it cool during towing. I can’t remember exactly what it is but it’s a modification they made to the oil circulation system
which gen is the best one
Factory parts oem , this guy hit it right , folks wonder why shit don’t work right well one reason it needs factory oem or motor craft stuff to get the performance out of these vehicles. Good video here.
We agree!
Been debating whether to go with a stroked sbf or a coyote swap in my fox in the near future because i was concerned about doing the swap but it seems like there is a huge amount of support for the swap these days. Will definitely reference this video when the time comes.
There is an immense amount of support now for the swaps. If you need any help feel free to post up or reach out to us.
A 393w swap has to be the easiest, cheapest way to go fast! Coyotes are awesome, but wide, expensive, and simply too expensive!! A 393, or jump to a 460 based motor is easier in foxes! You can make a fox fly with a 351w based motor!! The low end torque 385 series motors with heads, cam, intake is thousands of $$$ cheaper!! Far fewer parts to worry bout to boot! The Coyote is so wide you could put a 3rd series 521vin!!
I've done 3 2300 4 banger and one of those little redheaded stepchild 6 cylinder swaps! With the 5 liter motor Mounts and crown vic oil pan its a drop in! I got lucky, scored a crown vic police motor, Mounts, alternator, power steering, air conditioner! A blind squirre can find a nut once in a lifetime!
Great information guys, thank you!
I wouldn’t even know where to start. My biggest mistake was not learning much about wiring. When I see a bunch of wires going everywhere I just give up. I’d love to have a COYOTE f100 and 6 speed but the jungle of wiring makes it impossible for me. I’m afraid to ask what it would cost to pay someone for a install
I think a Edelbrock EFI system on a old motor would be next best thing. They really seem to work well at making the old motors more efficient. One guy with a 396 BBC went from 11mpg to 15.5mpg by the EFI swap alone. That’s a significant gain!!
Johnny, most swaps will consume about 100-120 hours to wire, install, and plumb a powertrain. That does not include frame modification if they are more than bolt like a fox chassis mustang. The f100 do have some killer swap options out there for suspension but shops like Fat Fender Garage have mounting kits for stock chassis. Mix that with our powertrain products and the swap becomes for of an installation then an exercise in figuring things out. The wiring for the powertrain is just about all plug and play for both manual and auto. So do not be afraid of that, we got you covered!
One of the best informative swap videos. Straight and clear. Thank you!
Thank you Pixel Pusher.
Great information here, Thanks!! If one wanted to use the 4r70w trans, would that require a separate trans controller?
Awesome video, thanks for all the info! I will definitely be calling you guys when I boost my coyote. Appreciate you guys paying it forward.
Thank you very good information
I see you guys almost every other day with my random walk ins
Thanks for the great info! Working on a swap into my ‘66 Mustang, will end up being a total resto. I’ll definitely be using this as a reference.
Sounds like a fun build Hector. If you have any questions feel to post them here or email us at info@pbhperformance.com
Power By The Hour Performance thanks, I’m sure I’ll have a ton of questions. Appreciate the assistance,
I blew up my 2001 mustang GT 4.6 shock automatic. I want to do the coyote swap. What parts should I start with and where should I look for the kits and help.
Can a Coyote fit in a late 80s C4?? Was thinknig using a gen 1 engine
So wanting to swap a coyote into my 72 gran torino. What do u think my chances are
Very informative! Will def be checking up your website next spring when i do my 05 v6 coyote swap. Thanks a lot for the video!
Javi we have a new harness coming out that will make that swap much much easier than even a fox body. As soon as we have it we will be doing a video on it. subscribe so you do not miss it.
@@PowerByTheHourPerformance Sounds great hopefully i can get it in time! I'll be def be doing a video with a thorough walk through since there is really not a single one on youtube for the s197 apart from Johnathan harder's GT and brenspeed's V6 but they don't go into much detail hands on doing the swap. Johnathan mentioned he used one of your control packs so that's what brought me here. It'd be cool to look back to this video and comment 6 months from now once my swap is done
Javi following as I plan on doing the swap this spring
@@anthonyjones5047 Still looking to do it?? I'm starting on mine next week. Frank was helpful through email so i think i should be good to go to get the car running with this v6. Probably won't post videos til i finish the swap, but it'll be posting on IG @ Mostank_vzlow. Trying to get the build done before the spring then i'll have time to edit the videos
@@Javi-lu4zs yes sir i have a 3v 4.6 but i want to swap it asap i already have donar car
About to do a second gen coyote 6 speed swap out of a 2017 mustang into a 78 f100 custom step side. This was very informative on what will be needed to do so for the most part. Will most likely buy some of the components you offer to help with the swap.
Dude its always been of dream of mine to own a Killer new edge Mustang! I've been doing a ton of research on this engine swap! It's super intimidating but this video definitely helps let me know what I need to research!

We wrote this up to help guys doing that exact swap. Thank you for the support.
NO THANK YOU! This is awesome. Keep the content flowing!
Thank you so much for your time today release of this video I really appreciate
You are welcome. Make sure to sub as we have more coming
Great info! My son and I will be building a notch back this winter/spring and will be using a coyote. This information helps alot!
That is awesome!
What engine do you recommend for a 97 f150 . I have the 4.6 in it an want to do the Coyote swap but not looking to have to do alot of modifications
Great info Frank. I made sure I saved this for future reference.
So the person that posted this seems really knowledgeable about engine swaps and mustangs specifically, I’m currently saving up to engine swap my v6 2000 auto mustang convertible, it was my first car so she means a lot to me, otherwise I’d just get a new mustang, would you recommend a coyote swap and a manual for this? I want something reliable, decently simple for a good shop to do, and potential for power because sometimes you can never get enough. I know it will be expensive for a shop to to any engine swap so if most are going to be around the $20k mark I was thinking go big or go home you know? Also extra note, I’d like AC, radio, power steering, and the rest of the luxury electronics running, but considering it’ll be a great sounding convertible I won’t need a lot of that if I’m being honest
I agree 100 percent with using factory computers my son and l built a car and used a new style computerized engine and transmission,we used a popular aftermarket computer,and yes it runs well it will randomly loose tune and have to be retuned kinda a pain but that's the aftermarket for you lol 😆
Just picked up a 2006 Vista Blue GT with 57,000 miles on it. Definitely going to do a Coyote swap and this video was very helpful. Thank you for sharing and greetings from the Buckeye State.
Did you do the parts list yet?
I have a base model v6 2006 vista blue and was thinking about swapping a coyote in a year or two once I’m done with college. She needs some work but she’s been good to me.
Thanks for the info
I have a square body GMC. I won't to put a coyote in it. Can I pull all the wiring harness out of a F150 from front bumper to the rear bumper and cooling system. And would that work? I am using the 6r80 transmission that came out of a F150 and engine too and the ECU and TCU. And I have the gas pedal too. What else do you think I need? And do I need a tune?
It can be done that way. The best guidance we can offer is to try and use everything from the truck to ensure all systems will work. If anything is left u plugged you will get messages on the dashboard. Have not seen a c10 done like that and honestly not many have completed swaps like this.
What a productive and informative video.
Thank you Brian. We have more coming. Anything you would suggest to cover?
What about sticking a 2015 5.0 Coyote in a 1955 F100........ W/ TCI mustang II front suspension......haven't bought the motor yet but thinking about it.
Very Informative thank you for the video.
I’d really like to coyote swap a v6 s197 but need to know where to start
We have some parts that will help get this done. We even have a harness in the works to make it a plug and play job. Stay in touch as we working to release that harness and will make video on this exact swap
Same here
Hey so I am doing a ford fusion 2.5 swap woth the coyote v8 yall don't have to put down I just want some direction to what I should start with should I buy a used engine cause I'm not willing to pay the brand new prices thanks for your time
I have a 1956 F-100 the have a Chevy 350 engine swap and a turbo 300 transmission installation it has a 1969 Chevelle front clip. I would like to put the thread gen coyote with the 10-speed transmission. Can you give me some pointers what I will need to get the swap accomplish especially when it comes to engine mount
Well that is an odd combo to try and fit the Coyote. Rule of thumb on fitment is that you need to target what is needed to put a Modular Ford V8 in that front clip. All the 4.6L, 5.4L, and 5.0L Modular engine family have very similar motor mount pads on the block. Now, I have never seen a Modular ford swapped Chevelle so I think we are entering custom motor mount territory for sure. Mount kits are out there for the modular fords so that is a start.
