I might be able to get my hands on a doner 2012 gt. I was wondering what it would take to buy a 2010 v6, gt or later v6 and swap everything over to make a normal car with everything functioning. Not to fool people but as a cheaper way to make another coyote car to eventually have fun and race with. I would want all electronics and ac to function as normal. Im sure it can be done, but wonder about all the under dash electronics and body control modules and stuff like that. Any info "other than go buy a normal car" would be apprciated.

I've done this before on other vehicles. Really the only way is put them side by side, strip them both to a shell and move EVERYTHING over. Wiring harnesses, fuel tank, fuel and evap lines, etc etc. it is a lot of work but can be done.

well thats a pretty good deal & if you wanna do it, do it! Sure aint gonna find an original 5.0 for that price.... (that i have ever seen)
Again, its like buying a fox that used to be a 4 cyl... its not original 5.0 material ;)

It's more trouble than it's worth. If you do end up doing it, be sure to have lots of spare cash and time laying around. And Tylenol lol

I do those type of projects all the time and always regret not just spending a bit more cash and buying what I wanted in the first place.
