Very cool. Thanks for sharing this. I had started a similar worksheet but this one has a better organization. I may extend my copy to include other expenses - such as teardown and build up (body work, paint, wiring, etc) as if you were doing a resto. Maybe break it out in to different tabs to show phases. I also think your pricing is pretty much dead on and realistic. The sheet options are great and I can extend to include other variations of engine selection for comparison - such as V6 or the F150 version coyote. I also like the MTF subframe options instead of the Schwartz (although I can agree the Schwartz appears to be the pinnacle high end option).
I have a Gen3 10r80 fox best of everything and its not cheap to do it right with A/C,heat, power steering,hydro boost and big brakes Full maximum motorsports grip package, koni yellows, custom driveshaft, control pack, tune from lund, Ngauge and so much more. I shaved my bay and got Weld sr71 forged wheels 5 lug swap build rear end ect ect ect so done right 30k easy plus the car in a fox. But if you go used parts and cheap parts no a/c ect you can do it way cheaper but you get what you pay for in this swap.
Hello ARob! This video is a God send. Appreciate your work for the spreadsheet and drop down menus for other parts that might be need! I have a classic 67 Mustang Gt S-code Coupe currently with a Ford 460 mild build engine. Was a full blown 8 sec race car (not this motor in it) so suspension brakes, exhaust, etc is good to go. Will have to cut the shock towers (should have done that already for the 460) and that should bring the $9600 down considerably. Was also thinking of a 7.3 Godzilla swap but that would be alot more. Thanks again for this awesome video. Cheers from Motown/Dearborn
Yea, I am still learning this video editing thing. Thanks for the letting me know. I probably wont take it down, but definitely something to improve on for future videos.
Depends. Wiring just for the coyote swap is pretty limited if you are using a control pack. But if you are using a stock computer and harness, then yes.
41k for a coyote swap I did an LS swap on my c10 like 6years ago when you can get a junkyard engine with trans and harness for 800$ plus 1k for hp tunners and 500$ for a gasket set to reseal your engine puts you around 2,500$ for a swap of course if you do it yourself
Yea well that was 6 years ago too. Also, I might be mechanically inclined but do not have a shop, nor can I program an ECU, I do agree with either getting IAA or Co-part or just wrecked engine and trans with no damage for the low low price!
@ Holley terminator computer comes preloaded with tunes just tell it your engine size cam lift and fuel injector size and bam you have a cookie cutter tune good enough to get you running and you can find a shop if you want a real tune
I'm at about 10k with my bronco. 4k for low milage 2nd gen coyote and 6r80. 2k control pack. 1200 fuel. Radiator and fan 250, exhaust 400, adapter to transfer, 600, driveshafts 900, intake about 50, etc I'm sure another 200.
Coyote swaps are expensive! a lot of people don't understand all the supporting mods needed for this swap! It can be done for less that 10K but not much less.
Is there a v6 that would work well for this kind of upgrade? Now that I am old am not impressed with an overpowered mustang. 60 years ago this would have been huge to me.
It is very possible. It takes a lot of work and unfortunately a lot of money as well. The major interference is the shock towers. They either need to be notched or completely removed which means your front suspension needs to be updated as well. Rear end is possible, you would need to have the rear end shortened and new brackets welded on for what ever rear suspension type you choose.
Great video! (Voice is bit low) I am about to do this job for my 69 fastback. Any recommendation when it comes to the engine? gen1 or 2? - I am getting a donor car. I just want to make my life easier by picking the right one. (don't care about the power that much)
Really appreciate the video and effort put into this. I was wondering if I could get the excel spreadsheet you have, unfortunately the link is not working for me
there’s a lot of factors. depending on the body you use, your suspension setup, etc etc. if you’re looking for a clean, complete setup, i’d expect to pay $70k-$100k for the entire build. that’s with an assumption of using a front/rear suspension setup (about $6k) brakes ($4k) the body ($20k+) your whole powertrain including wiring harnesses, pedals, motor accessories, Id say about $15k-$20k. It may differ depending on what you feel like doing, but we just did a build similar to what you’re describing in a 67 shell, with a gen 3 with a 10 speed auto, turbo kit, the works and he paid about $143k but also got a bunch of stuff you probably wouldn’t need/want.
Super helpful! Thanks! I'm hoping to start my coyote swap project soon. Would you have any recommendations on where to pick up a used coyote? I really don't need a transmission with it but all I'm seeing is 6.5k+ on cost
Honestly I would check junk yards. I got mine from LKQ. Remember you can even get them out of the V8 F150's starting in 2011. The truck motors are much cheaper and basically the same motor.
As much as I appreciate builders keeping their builds within the brand, I do understand the cost portion of it. In the end, its your car. you can do what you want to it.
@@arobsgarage6672 that would be true if it really was about cost but it tends to be about being ignorant I've talked to enough Chevy fanboys who do everything they can to talk s*** about other brands

I wonder why anybody would do this to a classic/vintage Mustang. Seems rather stupid to do so. I have a fully restored, red/with black interior, '66 "K" code Mustang 2+2 fastback and I'd never even consider doing this swap to it. It's value is over $100k as it is. Modding it like this would decrease it's value.
on something like yours it would not make sense because of the rarity of your car. But an A code or C code, it actually increases the value significantly.
Yes it is. Motors are cheaper and much more available. They have been around a lot longer so the supporting mods and replacement parts are cheaper as well. Also the LS is narrow enough you dont need to cut the shock towers out which also allows you to keep your front suspension
@@arobsgarage6672 oh thanks man 80k plus it's bit much. I don't have the time to be working on the car or to learn build it, preferred to pay someone else I'm going after i do some research on LS swap. lol
Thank you for taking the time to build the spreadsheet. That is very helpful!
Excellent spreadsheet very well done
I am glad you like it! I hope it is useful to you
Very cool of you to put this out there

Great video! I wish I had this 7 months ago. I could have gone with a coyote swap in my 67 convertible instead of building a new 302.
Thank! Are you doing EFI with your 302?
Yes, I’m going with a Holley Sniper EFI setup.
That is such a beautiful car!!

Like the Ring Bros F100 pic. Saw that at the WI Dells car show a couple years ago and it is awesome.

Looking good Rob
thanks bud!
I would RE up load. Voice is very low and sound.
Yea, I am still learning this video editing thing. Thanks for the letting me know. I probably wont take it down, but definitely something to improve on for future videos.
Glad it worked for you but an enormous miss here is wiring. You will need significant assistance here.
Depends. Wiring just for the coyote swap is pretty limited if you are using a control pack. But if you are using a stock computer and harness, then yes.
Where can I buy your radiator and fans setup?
Price update. You are going to be looking at +30 thousand dollars to do a swap like this. Inflation is a bitch.
To do it right with new paint, $100 to $120k for full Mustang restomod
41k for a coyote swap I did an LS swap on my c10 like 6years ago when you can get a junkyard engine with trans and harness for 800$ plus 1k for hp tunners and 500$ for a gasket set to reseal your engine puts you around 2,500$ for a swap of course if you do it yourself

Its hard to do Coyotes on limited budget. but so worth it!!
Why don’t you include body restorations? Rust dents paint etc?
Im trying to swap everything from a 97 cobra or something similar into my 66 thunderbird
That sounds like a fun project! something different!
Alrighty then, the old 302 with heads it is. ☹️
Coyote swaps are expensive! a lot of people don't understand all the supporting mods needed for this swap! It can be done for less that 10K but not much less.
It shouldn’t matter what it cost Because you’re getting the best of everything
My man
Nice build! What pedals and master cylinders did you use?
Is there a v6 that would work well for this kind of upgrade? Now that I am old am not impressed with an overpowered mustang. 60 years ago this would have been huge to me.
Great video
How possible is it to swap out the front end components/drivetrain from a 1st gen f150 into a old Ford? Maybe rear end aswell?
It is very possible. It takes a lot of work and unfortunately a lot of money as well. The major interference is the shock towers. They either need to be notched or completely removed which means your front suspension needs to be updated as well.

gen1 or 2? - I am getting a donor car.
I just want to make my life easier by picking the right one. (don't care about the power that much)
I have heard that the Gen 2's are actually the best. I have heard some people are having issues swapping their gen 3's
I wish you luck man!! It's my dream project to put a coyote into my dream car a '69 fastback!!! Have fun!
I like my gen 2, and comes with more power than a gen 1. I used a f150 coyote and it's pretty nice
Man I need some insight before I get started on this project!
Is there anyway I can get some personal advice from you?? Bout to pick me up a 66
Really appreciate the video and effort put into this. I was wondering if I could get the excel spreadsheet you have, unfortunately the link is not working for me
send me you email and I will email to you
Parts between $10k and $41k+, Labor estimate double parts cost
That is why I do everything myself. I have the time to do it myself, I dont have the money to pay someone else to do it.
Don’t buy the nice Schwartz chassis for $18,000.00. You will save a bundle on that.
@@myoneblackfriend3151 agreed!
Don't forget tuning.
Yes! very important. what do you say, another $800 for tuning?
