Yeah I like the new 302 but i'm finding it more of a headache trying to squeeze it in the car i hope someone here can guid me in the right direction!! cause the car goes back for finale body work and prep here in the next couple of weeks... and i kind of need to have a solid game plan by then...

Going to love the Coyote! I am putting one in my 55 ford right now too.

I would highly suggest that you contact Gus at Cleaveland Pick-a-part for the engine package! I did! It saved me tons of money and i have everything that you would need instead of piecing it together with the crate engine version.

Thank you 56pickup! I will be giving him a call! what kind of tranmission are you using...

Thats one wide motor. Check with Cris at JCG restorations. He's doing a '70 Coyote conversion, but he's using a DSE front clip. www.jgcrestorationsandcustoms.com

Cool project! I'll be following along. How much are you thinking of spending on the front suspension? There are a number of choices out there that will accommodate the Coyote 5.0.

Also, depending on how hard you're thinking of driving the car, a TKO might not be your best bet. Some complain that they don't shift well at high RPMs and the regular 5.0 redlines at 7K while the Boss 302 redlines around 7500.
