How many coyote swaps under your belt ? How much did it cost you after it was done?
Just wanted to hear from your experiences in cost compared to the asking price of coyote swapped fox orginally posted, IMO I think this one is priced right

as others said im sure the fox posted has well over 30k and thats probably why not many are building them like this and because of the work it takes to do it right

"To do it right"..... That's the key there. Is it cheap, what's cheap to you? Can a simple coyote swap be done in a relatively affordable manner, yes! There is no reason you can't find a good take out motor, buy a cheap UPR K member, buy the computer/harness, and make it all work with a little time and effort. Most people would just rather bitch about it in one way or another and nit pick anyone's build they come across who has actually done it. I'm sure the owner of the car for sale at the start of this post doesn't give two shits what anyone here thinks.
It seems that most here bitch about the cost and smog. Well, there are plenty of people who can see the time and money invested in the car, and don't have any concern for smog. You see..... There are other states outside of California that smog is not an issue. Amazing concept really....
Carry on haters....

well if it really was cheap to have a coyote motor in a fox built proper with top grade suspension and passing smog im sure you wouldn't be asking how many people on Cafords have done it
yea im sure you can cut corners the whole way and use upr products and "make it work" but then you still end up with a rather expensive build with second best components and who wants that?
doing it right is using the best components in your build, which the fox posted has and im sorry but 30-40k is not cheap

IMO i think the swap would be cheaper if ford made this engine a mass production engine in other cars and trucks not just in the mustang. give it another 5-10 years this swap will be the new LS swap.
