Coyote swap is the only detail you're going to get.

Haha. I've been looking into it. But after crunching some numbers and looking over data. Its not a smart swap.

TBH after looking things up its not that pricey. The problem I found actually deals with the transmission. But I'm not going to give everything up easily. Alot of it would be drivability concerns that a tune could never fix because its completely mechanical.

They are impossible to find here in yards. As soon as I start to see them in a yard, the wheels will start spinning. And my first idea won't be for the F150.

I'm not feeling it, just my age. Iduno, fill my shop with parts and I'll have to do something with them right.

I still think the best bang for your NA buck is the 5.4 4v with cams, compression and intake. ..maybe even a stroke.

The cost of building a stout shortblock w/ a lightning blower is more expensive.

Either one at 400hp is more than enough to grenade a built factory placed Transmission. There's just less room to grow with the 4v unless you then add F/I. ..but you'd have to think ahead with compression.
