I've been keeping my eyes open for a new power plant myself. Eventually, I'll learn to drive the 347 I've got now and will be looking to upgrade. The Coyote 5.0 is tempting with its OEM reliability, weight and power potential. Especially with the stroker 347/351 packages coming out. But Packaging is a HUGE hurdle for those of us not looking to completely start over with a new front clip. Why couldn't Ford keep the size down to something we could use. The LS is tempting but as has been stated already doesn't fit and everybody is doing it. A thought I have come up with but not researched is a short stroke LS. Build the 5.0 Ford should have. It may not stable, reliable, or cheap but would definitely be fun.
