Yep. Only easy way is boost. I'd build a strong 2v 5.4 with a lightning setup before attempting a Coyote swap.

Yeah it will probably be a built and boasted 2v. If I do end up landing a good paid internship through my school's engineering program I may be able to do a 4v.

If I had the money I would lol. That's the only thing that's stopping me from building my engine. I would probably do a twin supercharged 4v tho rather than a TT and supercharged.

A 4v doesn't really require that much more work than a 2v.

A wiring harness and it plugs right in. No need for an engineering degree if you can undo a 10mm bolt and plug a new harness in.
