Man I really love this truck, and it came out so AWESOME!!!! I was following the build on FB and then you disappeared.

The engine change comes as a shock, but that Coyote will be cool too. I look forward to watching that swap.

Best of luck!

Thanks! Huge turn of events . . . I still cannot believe I sold the 427.

I got tired of the BS on facebook.
I do have instagram where I post most often

https://www.instagram.com/ecoboostf100/?hl=en

At this time I am trying to find the replacement for the 427.

I am in process of building a 410 FE its slightly possible that may replace it. a very basic engine with no upgraded heads, roller cam etc. A very basic no big bucks stuff.

What I really want to drop in is a Gen3 Coyote 10 spd auto with a SuperCharger. Finding proper donor truck is the hard part.

In a pinch I may go with a 2018 & newer 3.5 Eco & 10 spd auto but have done 3 ecoboost swaps already so not my first choice. I can easily get 500 RWHP out of one and still get great MPG.

Will see what becomes avail over next 30 days or so. Have bids in on a few different ones including a 2017 6.7 Diesel.

The 540" Twin Turbo Boss 429 I am building belongs to a friend, would love to have that but way out of my pay grade.

These are great options, can't wait to see where it goes!

Any chance you’ve done a 2.7 without taking all the other drivetrain and electronics with it? I have watched your YouTube videos many times!

I started on the 2.7 Swap into the 1966 F-100 4x4 Christmas time but so much else to get done. Doing a major cab off, full engine rebuild, new transmission, big brake upgrade, new suspension on a '01 Lightning. Once its done I will get back on the 2.7 Swap. Hopefully by end of this month.

I will be using very minimal Electronics in the 2.7 Swap. Enough to make it drive but plan on using the Electronic Locking Diff, the electronic park brake and the 4x4 of course. I may add cruise control but it will be a pretty basic swap. Hoping it to be a daily driver and will be used as a truck.

I currently have Seven (7) different 1966 Trucks in various stages and the garage is so packed with junk and truck parts its hard to get anything done.

Way too much for a one man band old guy . .

I post mostly on Instagram under ecoboostf100

At minimum you will need PCM, BCM & ignition /keys along with engine and transmission wiring. One can use a aftermarket or OEM instrument cluster. Oem one can be modified to fit about anything.

Of course one can have the PATS turned off.

I change my mind like the midwest weather changes. Minute by minute

One day it's a FE the next a Gen3 Coyote 10 spd then its a Gen2 Eco 10spd then back to a FE.

I was certain I was going late model but after not finding anything thought maybe FE. UNTIL, I started to count the $$ to stick with a pretty basic FE. I actually made a very large purchase of aftermarket heads, Edelbrock Plo Flow 4 until I realized I was sent the wrong heads. I just do not want to dump 10k in a very basic FE. I already have 2 FE 1966 Trucks with 2 more FE's under the bench & one at machine shop.

Today I have absolutely no clue which way to go. I thought the FE would be a quick easy swap but finding a machine shop to get er' done not so easy.

What year is the Coyote you have in the '56? Any pics?

I made a offer on a Gen3 Coyote/10spd Auto (10R80) will see what they say on Monday.

Just a pretty basic FE nothing special Current Aluminum heads, basic machine work with a 428 Style crank along with EFI and a Overdrive Trans is around 15k! No way no how will I spend that much on a dinosaur engine. Just sold a even more expensive one so not going to repeat.

So many people doing Coyote swaps wanted to do something different but what is currently avail for power and reliability they are hard to beat. Just a bit pricey . .
