The TOP FIVE most common coyote swap MISTAKES.

Great info. Got a '99 GT that I want to do the swap on once the piggy bank is full (she's long in the tooth at almost 200k). I'm working on the rest of the car ( better brakes, suspension, cooling system, etc.) to handle the power. She's a daily driver so not going to get to crazy (can't afford to anyway). Your info, by the way, is spot on so pay attention, kids (I just turned 75 and I've been hot rodding cars and motorcycles my whole life and I've learned the hard way that doing your research/homework will save you alot of time, money, and headaches in the end. GOOD JOB! THANKS

Rule: Don't listen to 95% of the fb group swap pros that Don't even own a car!😂

Great list! One potential reason to consider a crank-a-palette... If anyone following this channel lives in California, the state's post-swap inspection process requires that everything emissisions & computer related be from the donor vehicle, so the crank-a-palette makes more sense if it has all of the computers, harnesses, modules and sensors and cats and EVAP system components. For Foxes, you won't have to run the gas tank (since they are OBD-1), but on 1996+ you'll need that tank (if I understand the rules correctly). In that sense, getting a complete drivetrain with a computer than you can VIN-verify, etc. is probably the way to go. In most places, however, 100% agree that the crank-a-palette is overkill. Thanks again for all the great info!

Excellent Video!

Solid information as always

Great info 💯

Awesome vid with good tips. Appreciate it!

Great info Caleb! No matter what combos you run, don't forget, this is a 100% custom situation and there will ALWAYS be something that might need some trimming or massaging. I'm doing a gen 3/10r80 swap with UPR K and Ultimate headers. Everything bolted up fine, but when we put it in the car, we had to trim some material off the 10r80 case to get the stifflers cross member up high enough to set the mount. That may also very on what the application car is.

I love this. Would like to see top 5 must does when swapping

Wow this is a great video. I just bought a v6 07 auto. My thought was goi g 1st gen truck motor, but was unsure about wiring being specific to auto and type of auto dictates my engine choices. I really appreciate this video as im getting back into hotrodding .

Awesome video. I didn't know the whole transmission thing

Love this video. Subbed. This is the first I’ve ever heard to “not drive it like a pushrod”. I’ve rewound that part of the video several times to try to understand what you mean. Yes, it likes to rev and build its power there so…. don’t bring the RPMs so low? I’m trying to do research now (glad I’m doing #5 correctly!!!😂😂) and I’ve learned a lot! Wanting to do a Coyote swap in my ‘59 Fairlane. It’s just a cruiser and I only want to do the swap for drivability, power, and economy. I was thinking that I needed a Gen III Coyote and I don’t. Gen I & II are sufficient in what I want. (Coincidentally the power I want is what the Coyote is capable of in stock form!) That being said, since the Fairlane is going to just be a spirited cruiser, can I run a 4r70w behind it? Or will the gearing lend itself to driving it like a pushrod? I wasn’t sure how well the Coyote and the 4r70w would communicate and work together. With less gears it would be easier to keep the RPMs up while accelerating but have almost the same OD gear ratio (4r70w is 0.67 and 6r80 is 0.63). Thoughts on this? Thank you so much for this video!! 🤙🏻

I have a 13' Boss 302 and a 19' GT350 and I'm sorry but my 93' blown 393w PUSHROD engine is still my absolute favorite. Hands down that down low torque is ridiculous and it pulls until I shift. I contemplated a coyote swap but for a street foxbody to me a coyote swap is not worth the money hp for hp. They just feel weak down low and can't compete with the engine sound of a properly cammed pushrod engine. Plus the sweet sweet sound of the Vortech whistle.

Good info! Where is this shop

oouf the 4 eye yoteees!

Does the ford control pack run the 6R80 trans ??

Buy once, cry once. Don’t skimp on breaks. Figure out a shifter and source the parts early. 4 cylinder auto shifter and a modified shifter rod work great on a 6r80. 10r is a different beast

I have a question been doing alot of study on the 10R80 & looking to see how reliable it is for a daily driver. But I've been hearing & see that they break down alot. It doesn't do any good if it's not reliable enough to make it a good investment

How does wiring work with them?

The thing I want to know is Gen 3 fuel systems so I can I install in my new edge I know it has 8 Injectors best kit for the swap
