My cheap as dirt Coyote swap.. 06 GT 500 to the wheels for $5000

I love the look of the 07 GT500 but did not want a supercharged car because I do a lot of open track. So here is the base run down for under $5000.00 for 500RWHP
the cost so far in what I have actually paid.

Gen 2 f150 Coyote long block $250.00
Short block rebuild (rings,bearings) $800.00
14 Engine,Tranny and Fuse harness $500.00
with pedal & EEC
18 GT Intake Manifold $200 (market place local)
JBA long tubes $300 (Facebook Marketplace)
CNC porting on heads $950.00 (local) (not necessary at all)
Ford Motorsport forged crank gear $30.00
Boundry oilpump gears $90.00 (Facebook marketplace)
GT350 Oil pan $159.00 (eBay)
Rails, injectors and coil packs $150.00
Boss 302 Cams from ford Shipped $445.00
EPASS Rack $200.00
PBH Body harness $1050.00

CURRENT TOTAL: $5105.00

Sold current good 3v and its harness for -$1500.00 (bonus money for additional options)
Total after Sell of 3v: $3605.00

Left in budget: $1395.00



Keeping the 5 speed because it's lighter and the 6 speed has too many issues. Running gen 1 AC compressor, and EPASS so no weird expensive brackets.

Add on to project but not necessary:

GT350 oil pan and oil pump gears $250
CNC porting $950
Could have saved: $1200.00

Updated as of 11/15 with running total:

I think he might have missed a zero.

From a salvage yard that specializes in engines.

Bambino, you can apologize now. It's called experience.

He he, an apology I'd be happy to give. That's an amazing find for the price. Good luck with the build.

thank you brother! you are a gentleman and a scholar!! There are deals to be had if you look and know where to look! Trying to share the the deal knowledge. The lucky part was it was only a short drive from me.

Going to need gen 1 phasers to run those cams.

this is splendid, what a great build, good luck.

I hope we get a few people on here doing 7.3's in the next few years. When/if my blown 4.6 3v wads up it's on my mind, who knows what might transpire between now and then. Would also be cheap, ridiculous power. Heavy, but I wonder how it would compare to my engine with all of the cooling/blower/manifold. Can also set it back some.

There is a wiring kit and control pack for the 7.3 already. It makes lots of torque but not HP. I imagine cams and a better intake would fix that

And the oiling solution running a GT350 oil pan with built in windage and pickup. Look at the difference in the size of the pickup vs a stock Coyote pickup. So for those wondering you will need the GT350 pump with this pan. In addition I have a set of billet gears for the pump so oiling system should not be an issue.

Where are you located?

baton rouge, LA

Just picked up my heads from the porting shop and have the initial numbers before the valve job.
Behold!! The valve job is supposed to pick up an additional 18-25 cfm..
Oh and a very reasonable $950. Not like the ridiculous $2500+ from many other big name shops.

Are you changing the size of the valves?

no keeping stock size any larger and it will be counter productive due to shrouding.

So received the PBH chassis harness in lieu of re-pinning a billion connectors and making my life easier and allowing for all of the chassis components like ABS, rear brake lights, AC Cycling, Gage cluster to function like factory.
As of now the PBH harness is in and 98% integrated. Actually much more simple that I originally thought and keeps all functionality including ABS, Traction Control (WTF wants this anyway) and brake lights. It replaces the 05-09 body harness and has it's on connector for the pedal and OBD2 access port. You run it the same way you run the factory body harness and then connect to the EEC, the trans harness and the MAF.
It comes with a small fuse panel that I mounted next to the factory fuse panel. Then you run 1 wire to the fuel pump inirtia switch at the drivers kick panel, one to battery ground, battery positive and then to the cooling fan all with supplied wires and crimp connectors. The other thing are the two CAN bus in and out leads pulled from the original body harness connector that is no longer used and just sitting there.
If you use a EPASS and a 11-14 trans harness then that adds even more plug and play convenience. I picked up a EPASS rack locally for $175 and with a tubular K member for 11+ it already has the extra mounting bracket and saves #25 or so in weight.
So after spending time routing the harness I found the main entry into the cockpit with the large rubber connector to the left inside of the steering shaft.
In the engine compartment this is directly under the black AC drier/ Accumulator.
Last thing I need to do is connect the start and run leads to the original key switch. So In my opinion for $1000.00 even it's a better deal than the motorsport control pack because of the functionality it allows in the 05-09 Chassis. Yes you will need a coyote EEC and engine harness that puts the price closer to the motorsport, but the motorsport does not allow for integration of all of the cars full functionality if you will

Im confused, you stated "cheap coyote swap". Then you post pics of a block needing a rebuild, flow sheets of ported heads, purchasing $1000 harness to make it work. I just dont see where you are saving money.
