Not sure about the Coyote's overall dimensions but the 4.6 is wider than a big block Chevy so packaging will be difficult. If you're really on a budget and want something relatively modern, I wouldn't look any further than a fuel injected late 80s-early 90s 5.0 motor. Plentiful, came in many different vehicles, cheap, TONS of aftermarket support, direct bolt-in, etc.

4.6 & New 5.0 are a bolt in deal for fox bodies, just need to get the right k-member.
