Whaddya think it would take to put Coyote into an S197?
What I mean is:
How different would the mounts and exhaust and everything be?

Are you aware the Coyote 5.0 is already in an S197? S197 chassis is 2005-2012+
It's like saying can you put an 99-04 4.6L SOHC into a 1996 GT.

Ouch...
Actually, I was thinking about an 03/04 GT. I dunno why I typed S197. I suxxorz at teh muti-task.
I'm really not very familiar with the setup of either of those cars or their engin mounting setups etc.
What made me think of it was that I was tooling around LRS' website and looked at the prices of their crate motors. The Coyote is cheaper than an 03/04 4V -and- it has an intake already.
Something else that came to mind is an 03 GT (great shape from what I could see) that I saw nearby that's sitting with a blown motor... cheap.
So anyhow...
Not looking for any depth of technical detail. Just wonderin'.

Prob require the same amount of work as a Fox. The SN95's chassis underpinnings are more similar to the Fox, so all the mods required to get one in a Fox would be about the same for the 94-04 cars.
If I recall correctly, the Coyote used the exact same bolt patterns as the earlier 4.6L mod motors. Ford wanted to save cost by using a lot of the same production line tooling. In fact, from a fundamental standpoint, the Coyote 5.0 is basically just a bored and stroked 4.6, since it shares the same bore spacing and deck height.
In other words, I believe it is (at least mostly) bolt-in. As far as wiring and computer stuff goes, you'll probably need one of FRPP's control packs, or a computer/harness from a donor car.
