I heard some talk at a local car show that the old 5.0 and the new Coyote are so similar, that if you change the fuel and intake they're basically the same engine.

Is there any truth to that?

NOPE.....

Mind explaining all the similarities and differences?

I also heard that if you upgrade the tranny, you can swap a 4.6 for a Coyote 5.0 rather easily

They are both 90 degree V-8s. Everything else is different. Key word being "everything".

Actually the 11 5.0 probably has more in common with the 4.6 than the old 5.0.

Now it all makes sense

I have heard of a few companies that are putting crate Coyotes in Fox bodies. The "rumor" is there will be a kit sometime in the future to make the swap not as difficult. Check out Stang TV. As a Fox and Coyote owner, someday I would love to put that powerplant in my Fox. It just looks pretty tight, but I also am not a mechanic. Probably for the price of the crate Coyote, tranny, and install- I'm guessing roughly 8-9000? You could build a pretty mean motor for a Fox that would be in the 500+ H.P. range. Not to mention mating a tranny to the Coyote in a Fox platform. I still think it would be sweet though!

The old 5.0 isn't even a 5.0 - it's actually 4.9L. The old 5.0 was before Ford moved to the modular setup, I don't think a single piece of either motor is interchangeable...not even the 5.0 badge
