    Ford sells a PCM kit specifally to put a late model 5.0 in any car.

    And you'll need to cut those front shock towers completely out and install a Mustang II-type front suspension kit like a Rod & Custom RC-107 unit like many members here have done.

    The Ford PCM is a stand-alone unit available through Ford Racing and it is meant to be used with either a manual trans or a non-electronic auto, like a C4. I believe the Coyote retains the modular block bolt pattern, and there is a C4 bell housing available for that, I just can't remember right off hand who makes them.

    Good luck with your build. Are you planning on starting a Project Thread for everyone to follow here: http://mmb.maverick.to/forumdisplay.php?f=58
