1973 F350

1973 F350 Ranger engine swap. Can I put a 2005 Mustang GT Coyote engine into my F350 Ranger? If so….how hard or easy will it be. Does it fit right in or will I need to fab anything?

Wrong forum. You need to pose your questions here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum38/

The short answer is nothing will bolt up and you will need to fab all the mounts and figure out how to run that coyote. I hope you are good at electronics, fuel systems, exhaust, etc. Set a realistic budget, then double it.

Thread moved to the forum for your truck.

Coyote swaps are fairly complicated.

What engine is in your F350 now?

2010 for the 2011 model year, so I read--now.

So whatever the OP has out of a 2005 it is probably not a Coyote and would still be a difficult swap, and since it's probably a 4.6, it's an even more impractical engine for an F350. .....

"Can I put a 2005 Mustang GT Coyote engine into my F350 Ranger?" You sure can, if you possess the necessary skills.

"how hard or easy will it be" It will be very hard.

"Does it fit right in or will I need to fab anything?" You will need to fab everything, & then some.
