If you must know, I am wondering what the real difference is between a $1500 Coyote truck engine on it's side in the mud at a backwater junkyard to a pulled $8500 Mustang Coyote motor in a junkyard just off the Interstate near a big city. Interesting to note that one company says their forged crank fits all 302 Ford engines from 1968 to 2018.
Like we said, Smaller intake cams, 10.5 compression hypereutectic pistons, the F150 also used a cast iron exhaust manifold . I have no idea about the rods, it's also somewhat irrelevant as the Boss rods are just marginally better than the Gen1 Mustang rods.
The front F150 cover is different, as is the oil filter adapter, need to swap them from a Mustang 'Yote.
I believe the oil pans maybe different as the F150 didn't use a windage tray either.
As for the pricing difference, those junkheads don't realize the motors are basically the same, However since it's from a Mustang it must be better !!!
Same thing with the 6R80's, F150 6R's are $400, Mustang 6R's are $1000, Even though they have same internals, just differnt cases that move where the shift linkage bolts to ...
The svtperformance site has a lot more info on the F150 Yote swaps.
Good Luck ...
