I have decided on a coyote swap for my 04 GT instead of building up the 2v or termi swap. I have a really good connection on a brand new F150 Coyote with like 7 miles on it for 4k with a/c compressor and alternator.
I have googled it many times so I know a few things are for sure different to make more low end torque for towing. I found that the shortblock is the same minus the pistons for slightly lower compression, which would be ok because i plan i turboing it. Then the intake cams are slightly different for the low end tq, would this be bad for a turbo setup, if i have to change them i might as well get aftermarket? And of course the headers are cast instead of tubular for durability, doesn't really matter to me since i plan on turbo.
What else have i missed? I may end up just getting the motor in the car and run it N/a with some longtubes unless i feel i can afford to go ahead and tackle the turbo setup at the same time.
Hoping a ford mechanic or someone who really knows the differences can help me decide to pull the trigger on this awesome deal or look for a mustang one instead?
