Has anyone completed a Coyote conversion on a truck with factory A/C?
The truck I have (79 F150 351M) looks a little tight on the right side and I am of the opinion the Coyote is wider yet. Pics would be great.

Other tips or insight?

Thanks,

Tim

 

I'm thinking it won't work with the factory ac.
Here's a comparison.
Modular and coyote about the same.

 

I have a 5.0 in my '12 if you want any measurements

 

48prerunner on the bumpside forum has a 69 he is putting one in, there is a link in the thread to the build up on another forum tucked in there

Here are some pics of the subject matter. I'm checking on things very carefully to execute this properly. If I had no conscience at all, it would be so easy to stab an LS into it with room to spare.

good thing you have a conscience!

Nice looking truck you got there!

 

I must not have a conscious then.. I would go for the best engine and the best fit in the budget. Cummins are not ford, but don't take too much flack.

An LS is a great engine and can be had cheap. Paint it ford blue and run with it.

 

subscribing for future ref as I'm planning to put either a 4.6 cammer from a Mark8 or a coyote

 

Hehe.. Just messin with him, I'm a fan of making the truck the way YOU want it, the hell with everyone else!

 

Really?
Why f up a beautiful truck?

Just harvested a DOHC out of a Mark VIII for my Mustang.
Must say I don't think I'd buy a Mark VIII knowing how crammed in there everything is. Whew there's a lot of stuff in there.
But the engine is apart now and at the machinist.

 

That's because a Cummins is a cummins is a cummins. Cummins makes motors not vehicles. Chevy makes LS motors that's why most people on this fine site have issue with it.
Im not one to care if you put a chevy in your(not you personally 61 just speaking out loud here) ford truck but I wouldn't do it to mine. I would drop a cummins in my ford if it were a long bed four wheel drive.

OP funny how those little 302's are so much bigger now a days

 

Whoowee that's a lot crap crammed in there. Do you have a link for your mustang swap??

 

I'll pm ya.

 

my brake booster don't clear the mod motor if that gives you any idea of how tight it will be

 

Yeah man you wouldn't believe it.
You might not be able to see it, but there's a sawzall in my brothers' hands.
We decided that would be the best way to deal with it. Just cut the car away from the engine since we didn't have a hoist to drop the K member out.

Getting back to the op, I think you're gonna need some fab skills to pull it off but it'll be a fun deal.
