Looks like these guys are attempting a 5.0 swap in an 01 Bullit

I never said it wasn't a cool swap. Just not what I would have done.
And I'm not sure what the big hype over the DOHC 5.0 is. Yeah, it's finally a Mustang engine over 400hp, but I'm just not seeing it being a motor designed by God that runs off of Jesus's jizz. It seems like everyone is going nuts over how great it is, but I'm not seeing why. Not putting it down, just not putting it on the pedastal that most are.

when stock the heads flow 330cfm intake and the variable timing(whatever the acronym or whatever is) really makes this engine unique. Also, it is light weight, very powerful, stock the engine is forged(not great but better than most. if compression was lower it would be a great boosted engine), the aftermarket is going nuts over it, people are making over 1000rwhp with this engine already and its only been out for a year. You can really see the progress people are making with these cars already. People running 10's with 10psi, longtubes, o/r x, and a stall with this motor.
This motor is really the modular we all have been waiting for. Its very efficient, very powerful, and has worlds of potential. With this car's power curve, with a standard 5 or 6 speed with the 1:1 occuring in 4th gear, this car would be nuts! When the head porting and camshaft options become available, I can see high hp n/a builds popping up.
Bow tie huggers have the LSx series...now we have the coyote!

I think it is great to have all that power NA without having to go back to a pushrod engine. This engine is more fuel efficient also which saves on trips to the pump. It would be cool to pull up to a fbody ls1 lightly moded car and smoke it and say oh it's just stock and all motor.
