It has to be close if not smaller to a 4r100, those are pretty massive.

That Jegs link no worky

Works fine for me!!

Complete 2011-2014 Mustang Coyote motor for $6564.99...free shipping!!

[96gt4.6]

Might be because I'm using a mobile device.

I'm curious to see the power difference in the truck motor. I'm also going to install the Mustang intake cams, which at cost are very cheap. The only difference on this setup should be the pistons, vs the Mustang Coyote. Salvage prices are very reasonable, I got the engine, trans, wiring, ecu, all hoses, and part of the pullout body harness for $3500 shipped.

Anyone watch Power Nation? They did a Hellion kit today, bone stock '15 Coyote/A6 @ 14 psi. I'm glad to see my decision to go Ford is backed up in professional testing. That's some impressive hp on an all stock motor:

Have heard that the 2015 Mustang engines have better rods and will take 1000hp. Any idea on the durability of the truck rods?

I can only guess the 2015 is better all around than prior years - strength and performance. I'll keep reading what you guys find out....

I will do some research at the parts counter tomorrow on the rod ordeal. I do know however that even the prior years ('11-14) were pretty stable up to 800 fly hp.

"The 2015 Mustang, in all its forms, is one of the most-anticipated and highly-hyped vehicles to come down the pipeline in recent memory. The complete redesign of the car sets it up for world-debut status, as this is the first Mustang to ever be offered outside U.S. shores, necessitated changes in the power strategy moving forward – and all the details are here.

The 5.0L Coyote powerplant has proven itself exceptionally capable since its introduction in the Mustang back in 2011. The high-winding, four-valve-per-cylinder V8 engine took the best of each of Ford’s technologies at the time, incorporated them all into one engine platform that boasted 412 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, and showed the capability to handle large power improvements through the addition of various aftermarket engine enhancements like turbo- and supercharging.

Coyote Upgrades

For 2015, the 5.0L has been revised using a number of technologies designed to improve the horsepower and torque figures, along with fuel economy, without hurting performance. One of the major upgrades to the 5.0L is the addition of Charge Motion Control Plates, which were tried on previous Four-Valve 4.6 engines with varying levels of success – but mainly served to frustrate enthusiasts as the previous designs were a serious restriction, and in fact ended up on the shop floor once an enthusiast began serious modifications with an eye toward performance.

These plates are designed to close off some of the large intake runner to speed up the incoming airflow’s velocity and boost the torque figures at low speed. The plates fold up toward the roof of the intake runner and become invisible to the incoming air when they are open. The benefit of using these plates is a 2-mile-per-gallon increase in fuel economy, and an additional 20 lb-ft of torque over the 2011-14 iteration of the powerplant.

According to Engineering Manager Brian Mazzella, “They have the same intent as the 4.6-liter engine. This time around was a real crusade of ours to design the plates to fold out of the way so they don’t pivot in the middle like a throttle body. When it folds into the runner it’s gone so you can’t see it at all and it doesn’t impede power whatsoever. You’ll notice when you get in the car, if you have any experience with the 2011 and up cars, that idle is far better – just smooth as silk.”

Also upgraded during the engineering process were the cylinder heads. In order to create a more direct air path, the intake valves were enlarged by .3mm, which results in a four percent increase.

ICE engineer (Intake, Combustion, and Exhaust) Adam Christian, says, “The valve stays in the same place and the ports got a little bigger. What happens is that septum in the port (what we call the middle of the two runners) dropped way down. So it’s almost just one port all the way down, then suddenly splits into two.”

Christian continues, “Basically the 2015 5.0 cylinder head flows as good as the BOSS head, but in a cast form. It also received the BOSS exhaust valve which is eighth tenths of a millimeter bigger.”

Piston design has also been altered to create a stronger casting that uses a new ring package and the valve reliefs in the piston are enlarged to accommodate the larger valves

Connecting rods used are straight from the BOSS302 program."

2015 Mustang Coyote is a badazz 435 HP/400 FT-LBs 5.0L V8!

Wait until FORD gives it direct injection...that's the next 5.0L upgrade.

way to go, Joe!
As I suspected, and more!

Watch the 2015 Coyote swaps that will be happening into many various vehicles.
this is so WINNING!!

That is indeed quite the upgrade package! We'll see how far this old junkyard truck motor will go. Anyone know estimated failure points for the '11-14 models?

The pre-2015 5.0L engines can still take a lot of boost.
JPC Racing and Evolution Racing were getting some sick power numbers and ETs out of boosted bone stock 11-14 5.0Ls.

You won't find many 2015 junkyard 5.0L engines...and if you do they will cost wayyyyy more than what you paid for the truck motor.
Plus the truck motor's slightly lower compression ratio will help you when you hit it with the boost.

^ Thank you for the info sir!

Not related to the swap, but just in case someone watching this might be interested:

That's the for sale thread on my stock engine/trans pullout.

Not the first to use a 6R80 in a swap, but still hoping to be the first Marauder to use this combo:

I saw your Craigslist ad Alan. I would love to take a trip your way and take a look at it when you finish this project.

[96gt4.6]

Well the 6 speed seems to fit!

It's really not all that much tighter than the 70W:
