    I appreciate seeing realistic discussion of what this stuff costs. So many people seem to get sucked into looking at just what the engine costs out of a junkyard or even a "complete swap" from somewhere like The Parts Farm and forget all about making it fit/function in the truck or making the truck ready to drive with twice the power.

    Me: I wonder how much a coyote 5.0 and a full restro would cost for my 85 F150 Explorer
    Him: you could easily get up to 40, 50, 60, 70,000 dollars
    Me: 302 windsor, rustoleum, and eBay it is!

    We have a 1979 F-250 4 wheel drive in the color combo of light sand and brown. Very similar to this truck. My dad bought it new in 79 and it has stayed with us ever since. The Coyote engine would be awesome in the truck but for now the 351M will have to do.
    The Fat Fender truck is awesome with the resto on everything. Would love to see it in person. Excellent work.

    I have a 74 F-100 2wd shortbox that someone ordered the 390 V8 in, I had it rebuilt for a bit more than $2K a couple years back, put a set of headers on and dual glasspacks, heck of a lot of fun to drive, nothing against the Coyote engine, but if I had that type of money to swap one in, it would finish up my bodywork and interior.

      @Laker Madness sure, a 390 can make that kind of power. But it's still old technology. A modern 5.0 can make 600 just by changing the intake and a tune. Add turbo or supercharger, actually go into the engine, and you can literally get 1300 hp. In a very streetable car.

    Coyote Swap
    Just Motor, Trans, wiring - $25k
    Most people also ask to have
    All wiring redone
    Brakes
    Electrical system
    Fuel system
    Air conditioner
    Suspension
    Cooling system
    Drive shaft
    Gauges
    Window seals
    Components
    Interior
    Which can range from $40k-$60k
    Motors can range from truck at $4,500
    To crate motors at $15k-$16k
    Recommended the used motors have less than 40k-50k miles with no front impact. Side or rear impact affected Used motors preferred.

    The other question is what vehicles a good candidates for a cheap easy swap and what ones aren’t? You’d think a pickup or Torino with a big engine bay would be a good candidate. How about the 60’s mustangs or cougars and the fox body mustangs? Do things get a little tight?

    That would be a sweet set-up in a 1965 Galaxie 500...

    I know this comment will show the bowtie fanboy in me but I'm glad to see that Ford makes a reliable High Performance V8 that people actually want to swap into their vehicles instead of just slapping a Chevy 350 or LS motor in it.

      I'm a die hard Ford guy. And I totally agree. Ford has needed a good crate motor like this for a while. The LS is a spectacular engine, and really simple. In terms of tech I think the coyote rivals it, but it's just on par with almost everything else the LS does. (Not everything the ls does something's better obviously)

      @@thatmarred_mustang Right now I have lightning I want to swap with a coyote. My L is making 480rwhp but I want a more fuel efficient motor so I can daily it. then the L engine will go into another 97 f150 xl regular cab flareside where it'll make the perfect sleeper. Only thing stopping me is the cost for the damn 5.0 with a 10speed auto.

      These new EFI systems like the Edelbrock Pro Flow are so good I dunno what’s stopping Ford guys from upgrading their old motors. It’s easy to get the same power a coyote has with a 348 stroker or 351 and you can EFI them now. I saw one guy put a Edelbrock EFI on his 396 Chevy and it went from 11mpg to 16mpg from the swap alone! That’s before a trans swap or gear change. So I thought I wanted a coyote swap but you can modernize the old motors so well these days I’m not sure the coyote is worth the headache. But Ford should offer crate engines like that in he first place like GM does. EFI 302 and 351s would sell like crazy

      STREET RACER well I have no interest in a 7 second quarter mile lol. I like the Coyote though...have one in my 2011 F150.

      STREET RACER the stock 420hp coyote would be more than enough for me. In my 66 F100 it would rip! But I can build a nice 347 or 351 WAY cheaper and slap Edelbrock EFI on it. 420-450 street horsepower enough for me. There’s nothing unreliable about those old engines, it’s the carbs that can get cranky on them. Edelbrock or holly EFI fixes that problem. It’s not all that much money to make a old school EFI motor and be perfectly reliable. I just can’t do 10k plus over a coyote. I’ll enjoy coyote in my modern truck

    When you say you kind of cleaned up the interior, those are the incorrect verbs, adjectives and nouns. How bout, "we completely restored the living shit outta this hunk of metal here" that I believe describes what you actually did here. Great Job!

      Not true. I had a 79 f-150 with everything in good shape. It was not a bmw interior but everything worked like it should.

    Awesome, they retained the wandering, high performance Twin-I Beam. I’ve had three of those. These days, I’m betting you’d be searching a while to find a shop to do an alignment to usable spec. Get out the rosebud boys! 🤣

    Yeah, but how much for just the engine, transmission, pcm programming and wiring diagram to do it yourself if everything else on the truck is in perfect condition? Been a mechanic for a long time but this is not what normally do, mostly cars less than 20 years old. cant even remember the last time I replaced a distributor lol. I recently picked up a 79 f150 tore everything down and painted it and currently replacing all bushings and balljoints, upgrading to all disc brakes with (new master cylinder and brake booster), and rebuilding the differential. Everything under the hood will be new but I'm just debating on just throwing a 351 in it, but I'd really like to drop a coyote in it. Just trying to get an idea of what it would take. Still probably about 6 months away from ordering an engine. trying to keep the whole build under 25k which seems pretty doable so far since i don't have to pay for labor but I'm in foreign territory here with custom engine swaps haha.

    Is a 78 bronco pretty much same difference in the engine bay as a 78 ranger? In other words putting a coyote motor in a 4x4 78 bronco just the same?

    • @HIGHLIFE4EVA
      @HIGHLIFE4EVA 4 года назад

      What other modern creat motor could I put in it? Would a eco boost be better?

    • @FatFenderGarage
      @FatFenderGarage  4 года назад +1

      Unfortunatley we haven't been able to verify that.. If the measurements are the same then yes, it should work. If it doesn't, we'll consider making a specific kit for it (provided demand is high enough) If you have any more questions or want a more detailed answer, please email info@fatfendergarage.com :)
