Coyote and 10 Speed Swap for 1985 T-Bird

Post by WildWill »

Good morning, everyone,

I found a gen 3 coyote engine with a 10 speed transmission for sale this morning and was wondering how hard it would be to swap it into my 1985 T-Bird. I have seen some videos of a 88 with a coyote and there are lots of parts and information for fox mustang coyote swaps.

Would I have to make any changes to the aftermarket coyote mounting parts for a fox mustang like the new k member or engine mounts, or would all of it be the same as a fox mustang? How much custom work and fabrication would I have to do in general?

Also, what other things would I need?

Thanks for any information!
