Default Is it to hard for a coyote swap in a foxbody

I've been thinking about doing a coyote swap on my 88' mustang but before I start gutting it an taring things out I'm trying to see if it's to hard or complicated. I'm still doing a lot of research but any an all help is appreciated.

Unless you have 10K to spend and can have the vehicle down a couple months I wouldn't mess with it. I gave a lot of thought to the same thing but decided it was just more practical to just buy the new one.

Ya it down wouldn't be a problem, I got the time to just spend on it. The money, like I said I've been thinking about it so I have most of it you know for all the major parts(engine, harness, k-member). I thought about getting a new one too but I don't wanna go back to a car payment.

As long as you are a decent wrencher, have all the parts necessary, and the proper tools its not a hard swap at all.

Thanx guys, I hadn't seen the power tv one but I think it looked so easy is because it was already a drag car so wasn't to much to clean up. Also the wiring process, how would that line up to a oem dash assembly. Y'all have been a real big help thank you.

I have seen one put into a 67 GT, looked odd under the hood but I bet the car moved out!

Hum, ya I think that would look odd in a 67. But I agree it would move real nice.
