It seems like a Coyote Swapped Mustang is worth big money but that seems kinda crazy for 450-550hp when you build something or find something with a Dart block or an aftermarket four bolt main block with a blower or turbo for cheaper that makes way more power. Like this one, plus I saw a 95 Cobra with a Coyote swap go for $30K

I think they're worth it in the right platform, I wouldn't pay that kind of money for a 4cyl notch though.

I dont think most people are buying them for the power. More like the modern engine that you can dd no problem and make decent #s.

Looks like a legit build. You could buy a lightly used 2011+ 5.0 for the same money this one will likely go for, but you get the best of both worlds with this one. Fox Body with Coyote Powerplant. I would love to put a coyote motor in my fox, but for how much it would cost & then having to get it Reffed through the absurd referees, I would just do what I did and buy a new 11+mustang.

Plus with that you either have to take out a personal loan, put it on a credit card via paypal, or pay cash. I couldnt see banks offering an auto loan on that car unless maybe you had 800+ credit score.

Because I bought a partially finished coyote swapped '93 Cobra and it didn't come with a warranty.

I know it will sell, I just think its crazy if it had a dart block in it making the same power, same shape car and same drivability, it wouldn't bring the same money

I dont think you can get 400rwhp out of any small ci motor na dart block or not with the same drivability. Its gonna have a cam in it at least and that's what a lot of people dont like. Also the dart block is old technology. It shouldnt be worth as much.

Dart block you can get up to 1100-1200 hp maybe more but there are members here that have dynoed over 1g hp, countless others I know personally who are over the 800 hp club on a dart block, which I think is a more viable option cost wise.

I know a Dart block can hold a ton of power. Im saying building a small ci motor n/a and getting 400rwhp is not going to be as mildly mannered as a coyote motor.

Im saying i dont think you can build a small na ci motor Dart block or not with 400rwhp and have it be as street friendly as a coyote motor. Which is why people are spending so much money on these swap cars.

It would have to have better internals and stroked and high compression just like the coyote motor.

I don't why anybody would want a 302 cubic inch dart block, but if someone wanted to spend $10K plus on a zero balance all billet internal short block, then it might happen, it's all about the money spent on the right parts, but if you went on a $5K budget forged internal 347-363 short block I don't see it being a problem.

While the Coyote is a great motor and very streetable I just wanted MORE !!!!!
This is why I went with a Dart 427 for my build.
I can keep it N/A or boost the hell out of it and call it a day. [burnout]
