Default Looking for shop that does Coyote engine swap in 2005-2009 Mustang

A couple of months ago I was surfing the net looking for information on Fox Mustang Coyote engine swaps and ran across a web page for a shop that did Coyote engine swaps on 2005-2009 Mustangs.

My problem is that I didn't save the link and I can not find it again. Does anybody here know of a shop that offers this service? Thanks in advance.

Putting a blower on a 4.6l will give you more hp than a coyote engine.. Is this not an option?

Paul's Automotive Engineering in Cincinnati OH. I can personally give them an excellent recommendation. They are a Ford Racing dealer and build Mustangs for NASA American Iron. When my 4.6 wears out that's where my car is going!

A blown 4.6 wouldn't get the fuel economy of a new 5.0. I know, it's a weak excuse, but it does make a difference. Also, there are alot of wicked fast aftermarket 4.6L builds out there, but a stock 5.0 will run with some of the factory supercharged 4.6's, like a stock or bolts-ons termi, or a Roush.

I average 17-18mpg with 4.10's and a whipple. A 5.0 with 3.73's is anywhere between 18-22, depending on who you ask. Swapping engines is a really expensive way to make 420hp in a 05-10 mustang.

Geesh guys, if he want's a 5.0 in his ride let him. Personally I would too considering the 89 was a 5.0, not a 4.6L Not only that but a 5.0 will leave a lot of room for improvement down the road vs being midway or fully through the upgrade path with a 4.6L and charger.

As for shenanigans, that pop up, that can happen with any engine swap. There is plenty of docuemntation on the Fox body Coyote engine swap, just google that phrase. This one is sweet!

Thanks guys for all the info. I thought about the 4.6 engine and it would probably be cheaper but I am more concerned about having a good looking Mustang while still getting decent gas mileage plus I've always wanted a 5.0 engine S197 to go along with my 89 GT so the Coyote engine fits the bill.

I think Ford screwed up when they changed the rear end of the 2010 and later Mustangs. I have always liked the style of the 2005-2009 Mustangs versus the later styles.

I rented a 2005 Mustang back when they first came out but the gas mileage sucked and I was driving the V6 not the 4.6. My 1989 5.0 GT gets better gas mileage than the 4.6.

This will be a long term goal as I have to get rid of some other toys first (1991 Porsche 944S2 plus may get rid of 89 GT and just keep the powertrain to swap in my 1965 Mustang fastback with 200ci six cylinder) before I even buy the 2005-2009 Mustang.

+ install. my wife can install a whipple. Can you even use the t3650 with the coyote?

Is the OP looking to put a coyote in a 2005+ or a fox body? I'm confused.
