The Coyote engine would turn a new Bronco inside out. Like putting a 427 rat motor in a '64 unibody Nova.

Done it. Drove it. Put the 327 back in the next weekend.

The 5.0 Coyote is a tall motor. Too tall to fit in a Bronco without significantly raising the hood line.
Besides, the 2.7 liter Ecoboost in the F-150 is quicker than the 5.0 liter in same. That motor is strong for it’s size.



But,but.but you have to pipe in exhaust sound to sound like a real engine.

The Coyote sits very low in the engine compartment.

But with those heads it sure is wide.

Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.
