I wasn't ready *WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE THE COYOTE SWAP* 

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.

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.

Got my first fox 5.0 2 days ago. After wanting one every since I was 13!! Love the channel bro!!

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.

Another video to recap your whole build would be awesome!! Beautiful work! I want more information on the gen 3 5.0!!!

Thanks for answering questions I had about the swap.

I love the coyote man! It looks gorgeous! Great job and thanks for the helpful video.

Great information! I learned a couple of things that I will keep in mind when I swap an EcoBoost into mine (eventually).

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

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

That looks so neat no wires showing nothing !!!! Looks awesome

I'm starting to think about a swap, and I also I need to watch some of these old vids from the gearhead704 acct. 😉

Love your comments and helps, doing this in an 88 Thunderbird Turbo coupe

Your mustang is beautiful, I’ve been watching your videos and learned a lot, thanks

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 :)

Awesome build and great advice. Thanks!

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 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.

Engine bay looks awesome man! love the build! Did you ever get a chance to throw it on a dyno?

Beautiful clean engine bay, I’m really considering doing my 1968 Fastback, 15K plus to do the swap

Man thanks so much for sharing this. This is very helpful..👍🤘✌

Nice build super clean and matched Looks factory!! And I hate mustang's. Especially red. Good job!!

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

Which alternator and relocation kit did you use? Looks very compact.

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.

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..

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.

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 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.

Needs more cow bell!!!

Hello wouldn't know what your on about here in the UK but interesting to know and learn plus watch.

Can you do a video displaying of showing the different coyote motors including the truck motors...perhaps even a link showing them

Do you have anything you want to get rid of from the engine that was in the car

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?

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

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 ?

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.

If you don’t mind what’s a good manual transmission for the coyote along with the control pack and harness ?

Super cool helpful info thanks

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.

Whatever budget you have in mind for just about any big project on you're foxbody Triple it

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

Nice video thank you for the information.

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.

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

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)

Thats a beautiful lx..that paint 👌

Good information bro!

I have a 91 hatchback. What motor do you recommend for it to be seen and heard?

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

Fantastic engine bay work

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?

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?

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?

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.

I agree with inadequate brakes I've smoked the brakes on my SSP mustang in high speed braking .

dude that red paint looks great

What part of TN are you in? I have been thinking about adding one to my 72 F-100.

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

Hey Man; a lot to consider. Can I make a suggestion? Put the camera on a tripod-- it's a simple fix!

What instrument cluster is installed in this fox?

Good video!

Ahh, Luke 14:28. Good Mustang building advise.

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.

If I had a ton of cash I would do a Coyote Swap in my 96 Ford F150 in a heart beat.

Good video thanks man

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.

Thank for the information..👍👍👍

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.

Great video though, explains a lot and keeps the budget in mine. But you have you to splurge sometimes :)

That fox is super straight! Coyote FTW!

Beautiful cars! 👌✌️😎

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.

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.

Do you think I could put one of them coyote engines in a Lincoln's 83

Im 3.7 swapping an rx7, i wasnt aware there was a control box for thr mt82.

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

Currently dropping a gen 2 coyote into my 01 Cobra with a 6 speed behind it. Videos up soon.

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

What if I get a turn key pallet engine with transmission and wiring harness. All I should have to do is custom drive shaft?

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!

A friend of mine did the swap and they spent over 20k to buy the engine and harness and labor, transmission, etc...

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

What Radiator and fan are you using, Caleb?

where did you get the mustang cams?

The brakes are not inadequate. There is an article showing stock vs upgraded brakes and stopping distance didn’t really improve all that much.

I have been down this rabbit hole. Never again! Lol

You think it’s easier in a Fox than a new edge?

Love it in the beginning when you do a walk around. Everyone knows what a pos fox body looks like. But hey, I am impressed. Your fox body is soooo pretty. Lol

What brake reservoir is that, How's it work?

Sooooo bad ass. Love that car.

How much will it costs you to do this in total???

what years was the gen II motors in?????

I got a 91 lx vert I'm thinking about a swap

That is a beautiful fox bud.

Engine bay looks awesome. Ford should have made them that way in the first place.

I've always felt that stock brakes where adequate as long as the engine was stock.

Good video..... !

Hows the lower paRT OF THE ENGINE DOES IT sit low .?

All I’m trying to figure out is how do I shift into gear when I do the swap
