Hello,
I have a 2006 v6 with high mileage but is in great shape and still runs well. It’s on its second transmission now and the motor is getting tired. I put GT500 front control arms, new steering rack, new struts etc.
Car already has 8.8 rearend with Team Z rear suspension, in anticipation of this swap.
I see some sites have Coyote drive trains for sale. They come on a pallet with everything needed to run. PATS is removed and comes with ECM and all harnesses, etc.
I know the newer Coyotes are a little better than the older ones, but it seems like 2010-2014 Coyote might be an easier swap, due to computer differences?
I plan on installing a tubular K member which I am hoping will take care of any exhaust clearance issues. Car is an auto so I either need to get some pedals/slave cylinder etc, or figure out how to run the newer auto trans. I want the wife to drive the car too so would like to stay auto if possible. I see Ford sells relocation brackets for P/S and A/C. I’m guessing I would need the Ford control pack to run the engine?
I have done many swaps but nothing this new. I’m guessing I would need at least a new fuel pump and would upgrade the radiator.
I figure someone here has to have done this swap by now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I heard about a splice of the can bus at the obd-2 port, anyone have pics?
I want to pull the trigger on this but want to be a little more sure of what I am getting myself into here before I order expensive motor and trans.
Thanks and have a nice day!
So after looking around, it appears that I may have posted this thread in the wrong section.
My apologies sorry about that my bad.
