Hmmm... I'd like to see that Coyote swap in 4 hours. Possible I guess, but the time is not the point.
I chatted with the son of the guy who owns the car. He had a blown 4.6 in it before it got ruined. Son says this runs better than the blown set-up dad had in it before.
A real nice sleeper!!! Car looks stock, and probably doesn't sound out of order, BUT it will surprise anyone who runs it. Nearly 400rwhp in NA trim that looks like a stock 2001 Mustang. VERY NICE!
Crate motor was only like $6600, it was all the custom fab work (oil pan, steering, headers, etc) that took time and money to get worked out. As mentioned, solutions to the challenges have been devised, so it would be much easier now to put together yourself.

Awesome swap !!!! Now thats the best engine for the buck IMO.
Wish someone did a sticky on how to do this swap.
heck with S\C ing a 4.6 2V when you can get more power N\A out of this beast.

It is definitely cheaper to SC a 2V 4.6, but I love the idea of a NA sleeper that gets decent fuel mileage and won't tip anyone off until they run you. Could always add SC to the Coyote down the road to really make a beast out of it.
