Engine Builders talk.
That's not a bad swap, no special tools needed other than torque wrenches (a must). Timing is easy following the Dynotech write up. Hard to screw up there with that writeup. I wrote the title for that write-up, Dynotech filled in the rest lol.
Well I wrote it that way so that it would be easy for 10th gen guys to find...so where is it

One day I'm going to put everything in one spot.

Finding good parts and the ability to tell the difference before install is probably one of the most important. Well I guess everything about the install is important. So if you can get past that...lol. Brush up on the knowledge, take your time, it's definitely doable. A nice little power jump for the 97/98 blocks.

I'm kinda leaning more towards the coyote because for one it would be a hell of a lot easier to swap it in with significant power gains, and two, I could probably run the newer 6 speed auto trans too if so desired since it should run off the same PCM. I'm not sure how that would work with the column shifter though if at all. I'd like to keep it looking factory on the inside besides an early expy console swap.
yep. I'm debating whether I want to do a PI swap on my trucks motor or just swap in a coyote truck engine when I ever get around to doing any major engine mod(s).

and I don't mean that it takes a lot to make decent power with a 2v 5.4, but you can make more power with a coyote by doing less mods. and that's on top of the coyote having more power stock vs stock 2v 5.4.
