Default 1990 F-150 Coyote swap

I've searched this forum, Facebook, the Internet, etc. Can't find the info I'm looking for. I'm building a '90 RCSB. Seriously considering a Coyote swap. Anyone done this? Before everyone starts with telling me the costs, stupidity, and why would you want to do that comments. Lol. I just do things sometime because I can! Lol. Considering a wrecked donor. Engine, auto trans, combo. Again, anyone have a link, or anyone on here done it?

Any swap is possible given the money, time, and fab know-how...

What he said.

Def not commonly done though and if you do it, just make sure you are aware of just how much work is gonna be involved before starting.

I understand the time, work, and cash involved. I know it can be done. Question is, does anyone know of one being done? Or, a thread somewhere with maybe some parts listing. Example. Motor mounts?

Motor mounts, radiator, transmission, combining and splicing your donor truck's engine harness to your existing harness...just to name a few.

Here's an example of what you're looking at...and this is swapping a mechanical diesel engine into an OBS F-series....https://www.f150forum.com/f10/cummins-swap-322718/

Ah, thank you for the explanation. Didn't know what a Coyote engine was. Now I know.
