Hello, I have decided to upgrade my 2010 V6
Mustang with a 5.0 Coyote taken from a donor 2011-14 GT.
Can anybody *please* provide me with anything of the following:
1) A guide containing steps on how to do it (I am aware of a YouTube series chronicling the entire process, unfortunately the specialty parts from PHB performance don't ship to Europe)
2) a list of required parts and perhaps where I can find them(except the V8 and the transmission of course)
3) Anything which would help me to achieve this.
What I don't need is advice like:
1) "Sell your V6, buy a V8", no can do, this is my first ever car, I want to upgrade it, I don't ever plan on reselling it, also see point 3 regarding the import costs
2) "Don't do it", thanks, but if I didn't want to do it I wouldn't have made this post.
3) "It costs a lot, just save the money, keep your old V6 and buy a new V8", gladly, but even though $10-13k I plan to spend on this swap might be enough or a large portion of a newer V8, because of my country's strict laws regarding CO2 emissions,, the import taxes would end up costing roughly 50% of the bought car's value, making the swap actually worth it
I actually have an offer to have it done by someone else for 13k(with their parts), but my uncle (a mechanic) offered to do it himself for free, if I could compile a list of needed parts and steps, and he even said that 13k seems a little too much and to try and get the parts myself, which is why I made this post
