1964 engine swap ideas

I have a 1964 roller in great shape and was thinking about doing a coyote swap.

However has anyone tried to fit a coyote in one of these yet?
I know they are wide

Also thought of a 4.6/older 5.0

Trying to keep it a ford engine.

Any ideas or info would great thanks!

Godzilla engine.

1) It’s a Ford
2) It’s big enough to move a T-bird, more displacement than a coyote, 445 glorious cubic inches
3) it is a center cam so it is narrow enough to fit between the inner fenders

A junkyard version would probably be cheaper. You will need the ECU, a transmission, and a fuel system and fabricate a bunch of stuff, but it will be very cool

Hey thanks! And I didn't even think about the new 7.3s being center cam!
