[QUOTE="Ry_Trapp0, post: 9817760, member: 27761"] well, yes and no. while the major components are interchangeable - or 'modular' - that's simply a by product of the different blocks being machined on the same line. 4.6l heads will bolt onto a 5.4l because the 5.4l had to have the same dimensions(deck height aside) to be machined on the same line as the 4.6l. also, by keeping the 4.6l, 5.4l, and 6.8l virtually identicle aside from the deck height and # of cylinders saved a LOT of money, vs designing 3 different engines. the only problem is that all 3 engines suffer from the same limitations, which is why components like heads won't fit the coyote(different cooling passage arrangement for improved performance and the like). so, essentially, this makes the coyote the 2nd generation of the modular line.
