gen 3 coyote install

Does any know if a gen 3 coyote with a 10r80 transmission. It is a 71 f100 short bed, 2wd, automatic. Will I have to cut my low tunnel out? what parts will I need? Anyone have a list made up? I have installed a QA1 suspension set up front and rear.

Thanks

Try this one...https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...d-6-speed.html and use the search function to pull up a dozen more coyote swaps into our truck. _ Tony.

It will fit and you will have to redo your trans tunnel.
Check out Power by the Hour. They have a lot of the parts needed for the swap.

6r80 fits in a auto tunnel with no problem. I don't think the 10r is much different in physical dimensions.

I did a 10r80 but 3.5 Raptor Crate engine in my '66 F100. It fit no problem after replacing the sagging cab mount rubbers. I have a 68 250 here and looks the same to me.
Biggie is getting engine in proper location but yes the 10R80 will fit without cutting the firewall or tunnel.
