No, it's a completely new and different engine. There are no interchageable parts that I'm aware of.

 

Strictly speaking, the new Coyote 5.0 engine is not a modular engine. The only thing the two have in common is their bore spacing; according to Ford, that was necessary to minimize changes in the engine machining lines. But just about everything else is different.

 

I don't think it has interchangble parts but of all the new engines the closest relation the old Mod Motors.

 

Test drove a 2011 f-150 FX4 crew 5.0 w/3.73 gears yesterday. The wife and I really liked it and we are wondering what kinda of MPG you guys are getting with the trucks. No really city driving at all mostly county roads with the cruise most of the time set.

thanks

 

I average 14 in mixed driving, fx4 screw. I can get 19 on the freeway, but stop and go and city driving kills my mpg.

 

I get 17-18 and is really wind dependent. You won't be disappointed in the truck. Ford has really done a good job with this one.

 

I have a 5.0 CC with the 3.55 gears. After 8 months of driving and 10,000 miles, according to the on board computer, I am getting 15.6 mpg with the majority of my driving being hilly backroads (We dont even bother with the highways).

 

Took my new 4x4, 3.55 Screw with 200 miles on the odometer for a 500 mile trip to and through the winding small Ozark mountain in north central AR. The truck was getting just over 20mpg on the less hilly two lanes driving 55-62, 19 mpg at 72 on the interstate.

Mileage for the entire trip down due to the frequent steep sections when the tranny dropped to 4th climbing, small town cruising and use of tow/haul on some downgrades.

Overall 18.4 mpg

 

My 2011 F150 screw gets 15.1 mpg bed loaded with 2200lb trailer and 11 to 13 compleatly unloaded ?????

 

Im getting 17-18 mixed. Truck has 4700 miles on it. 3.31 electronic locking axle.

 

2012 F150 5.0 163" HD 3.73 about 725 miles so far. ave is about 16.5 long highway trips, down to 16 short trippin' around town.

 

I do a lot of highway at 65mph going to work and back. At the end of 4 days, I'm tipping 21mpg, and after being off for a week and putting around town (couldn't do that with my diesel) it's at 19.1...On the same tank...I love my 5.0
