To much work for not enough return. I would just build the 3V and add FI. Or buy a 2015

Will not work. If you do follow through with a 2015 Coyote engine, you DO need a 2015 specific control pack. The cam controls as well as a few other parameters are different for the 2011-2014 GT engines to the 2015-2016 engines.

You need to stick with a 3V long block or short blocks that use 3V heads. You could swap a coyote 4V, but would really need a donor vehicle to make it work. There are other combo's, but looking at a lot of work.

Thanks, Looked into 4v better off and find a used GT500. I've had this car since new looking to see what route to take money wise. if I keep the 4.6 I would go with a stronger block for sure with forged internals. I have a old Boss 429 motor don't know if I should take that route my car just a toy to me.

I looked long and hard at this a few years ago with my 2009 Bullitt. Upgrading to the coyote engine will require not only new ecm but you would run into problems with gauges and other electronics. I decided to sell and buy the 2011 GT. Out of the box the engine is all aluminum with better designed 4v heads than the older (2007-2012) GT500s. Plus you can safely get 600 rwhp out of the stock engine.
Other than that, sc your 4.6 with a vortech. I safely got 488 rwhp out of my '09 Bullitt with great driveability and stock internals. You can also go with a MMR type engine like:

butt hurt much,

a little searching and some common sense goes a long way, if you don't at least try to search a little you're gonna get called out.

a simple search of 5.0 swap/coyote swap will yield any answers to just about any question you could have on the swap.

Darren, I just thought of something. If you took the depreciation on your mustang(S)..then divided by the mileage...... each mile 'driven' would cost a megabuck !

It's just too easy, though. Like blaming Obama for everything wrong in the world.
