Right now, it would cost you less (or about the same) to simply buy a 2011/12 GT than to do this swap.

I was also browsing around at the American Muscle site, and daydreaming about what to do with my 06, and saw this:

Ford Racing NMRA Coyote Stock Sealed Engine for only $ 6,499.00

The description states that this crate motor is compatible with 05-09 V6, but from what I am reading here, in order to get this engine into my 06 I will also need to swap out transmission, rear end, interior, and even then, no gauges will work? There is no mention of this on the American Muscle site?

Then why would they even bother to advertise this engine as "compatible" with 05-09 V6 Mustang and not even mention these other issues?

We all know that the coyote engine is a bad **** but in my opinion it's not worth the money or hassle to have one installed in any car. Yes it's unique and it'll be a huge improvement over a V-6, 2V and 3V engine but after spending 13 grand + you still Have a car that's under 400 rwhp. OP if you have 13 grand laying around, I would suggest paying your 10 off and buying a 11+ 5.0. Just my opinion though...

You could do what I did...

Holy cow!! jsimmonstx, not unless I won the lottery! I bet by the time you got all the work done, you must have spent enough to buy a Shelby! Nice work though, it looks and sounds great!

Regarding the Coyote crate motor, I will just go ahead and remove it from my build list, and maybe start looking around at scrap yards for a wrecked GT to re-build.
