Coyote Conversion
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

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.

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.

Why f up a beautiful truck?
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

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.
