Let me inform you, the crate Coyote engines require a $1500 wiring harness. If you can get a good buy on a pull out Coyote engine, you still need to buy the Ford Performance harness. Get the donor harness, if it is included with the engine, but a nightmare to sort out. A computer and drive by wire throttle pedal is included in the Performance wiring kit. Unless you just have to have a Coyote, a push rod engine is way cheaper and easier to complete. Most of the current generation cannot tune a carb. If that is the case, throttle body fuel inj is good, but can be 10 times the cost of a carb.
,,,did not want this stuff to slip up on you, even in planning.
Yea when I looked prior it seemed the 1500 was well worth it for the Ford performance harness set up. Price pending I’d likely go with a low mile used coyote set up. If I ever want more power down the road it’s easy to pick a boost set up but for a weekend cruiser that’s light I doubt it would be of concern. Also boost would snow ball fast lol
