Ford's New 5.0L engine swap

Research the heck out of it. Let us know how it turns out. Nothing will swap so you are into fabrication and modification to make it work. Fortunately it shares transmission configuration with the 4.6L so I imagine any truck transmission from a truck so-equipped should work as long as there is a PCM that will run it and the Coyote in harmony. Its going to need all of the electronic peripherals to make it function along with wiring and computer. I imagine being able to develop the kind of HP that it does shouldn't be a problem moving something the size/weight of a Bronco around but the tuning may need to be tweaked to really get maximum performance from it. (As if 412 ponies would need tweaking as long as they found their way to the pavement eventually).

I've seen 4.6's in older foxbody stangs.... so just maybe there are some parts out there. I know Ford has a carb intake for them, to make the new engines more swappable, and a few years ago had 2 demo vehicles, 1 was a 53 panel UPS styled truck with new drivetrain, and the other was i wanna say a 67 stang. It's been awhile so i'd check with Ford Racing and see what they say.

The Coyote 5.0L is barely available in new Mustangs and is slated to be available as a Ford crate engine very soon but there is no way (or good reason) for a carburetor to be put on it. Without the EFI and the computer for timing and fuel/air metering... what's the point? Those things are what give this engine its better than 400 HP capacity. Am I missing something?

This is quoted from 1965 Mustang Fastback with 5.0 Cammer | FR100 UPS 1953 Panel Truck with Supercharged 5.0 Cammer
"According to Andy Schwartz, FRPP "Cammer" engine project manager, "Even with the carburetors in place of our advanced fuel injection setup, the 5.0-liter four-valve "Cammer" in the '65 Mustang delivers a healthy 420 horsepower at 6700 rpm. And the torque curve peaks at about 395 foot-pounds at 4000 rpm."

Yeah, without the computer and precise fuel metering that comes with EFI and controlled valve timing, you are still going backwards and dumping way more fuel into the system than necessary. I could get 375 HP out of my bone stock Cadi 472 with the secondaries reworked to open with the primaries. But with only 25 gallons of fuel in the tank I could pass everything on the highway... except the filling station.

There is some good news on this subject. Bronco Driver is doing a 2007 Mustang engine and transmission installation into a 1976 Bronco in issue # 50. The project name is Operation Screamin' Demon (1976 Early Bronco). And is mentioned here:

It's not the new 5.0L engine swap but it's a good start I'd say.
