Got a friend who recently bought a 2008 Bullitt Mustang with a bad case of rod-knock-itis. He’d considered rebuilding the 4.6, but wanted more zoom than that 3v motor offered. So, over a six pack of Heady Topper I suggested a Coyote out of a wreck. How difficult would it be to make that swap work?

It’s been done:
the second video is a bit more comprehensive. There’s a company that makes an accessory kit.

I’ve seen it done and it’s always involved a custom harness to make all the accessories work. (Doors windows air conditioning) I would assume someone would be making a kit by now.Getting it in and running is pretty straight forward.

Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it
Reworking the 4.6 with a supercharger would be easier but that wouldn’t be fun, says the anonymous guy who won’t spend the next 6 months doing it

Swap in a big truck Triton V10 and put on some Viper badging and side pipes. Worked for Dodge.

... $15,000 was the cheapest I could find for the motor itself.

That’s roughly 3x what I’ve seen boneyards selling Coyotes for. Not in the budget I’m afraid.
