This is a nice article from Hod Rod Magazine going over a lot of good information and possible issues you might run into when using a Ford Coyote in a swap. The 5.0L engine produces 412 horsepower and you can find it in all 2011 or newer Mustang V8 models. The article estimates the average swap will cost you $12,000 – $14,000 in parts. The last page of the article also contains a directory of companies who can help with Coyote engine swap in some way.<\/p>\n
