5.0 Coyote motor in an E series?

[Jb1rd]

Has anyone looked into swapping in a Coyote as a viable option for replacing the 4.6, 5.4 or V10?

I was under the impression that these motors were really wide at the valve covers. Probably make for a tight fit!

I posted the article link without reading first, kinda got ahead of myself After reading it, you sir are correct and there seems to be quite a few other hurdles as well. Oh well a man can still dream!!!

Many hurdles.

After reading that article I would say that is a very concise synopsis :yikes: I wish I could massage a few more ponies out of my 5.4, the mountains around here are taxing on that poor thing and I am still essentially just a cargo van without any of my interior build out or pop top, so it's only going to get more burdened. It does great on flat land, but going over passes, of which there are many, it struggles!!

Many hurdles.

Can't say but I was given a F150 by enterprise and fell in love with that engine. The truck actually hauled ***(not just for a truck).

I DD a LR3 and wife drives a loaded Genesis sedan with a 390hp 4.6.

I'd love to have that engine in anything I own.

Wasn't that engine supercharged in many vehicles?

Sounds like a reasonably simple retrofit with some tuning.

My question would be why? Here the Ford 5.4 is called one of the ten best engines ever built (in the world!), we take ours to the mountains and have never been let down always power to spare!

Sounds like it might be time to gear down the axles!

Can you, or someone here school me a little on this please? I have a Quigley converted E350 EB with the Agile RIP kit and 285/75/16 tires, I would love to go to 35's but I really do not think it is necessary or going to add any benefit to me other than "COOL" factor (based on the majority of use) I would however like to get 17" or 18" rims at some point in the future so I can grade my brakes but other than that I feel content with the 33" size range. I do not know what gears are in there but I know the PO did not change them so they are what Quigely originally spec'd. How do I find out what gears are currently installed and what should I be looking for in the new gears?

Sounds like it might be time to gear down the axles!

There's an easy way to calculate what gear ratio you need once you add larger tires. I'll give an example---

new tire dia divided by the stock dis (35/30) =1.16. Multiply that by the stock ratio (3.73?) and that will get you where you need to be. This example gives you a 4.32 ratio which doesn't exist so you then go up or down from there depending on how the van is used and loaded. I like to give 5.4s plenty of gear, run 4.56 or 4.88 with 35s.

Thanks Chris,
That being said, could I run 4.56 gears with 33"s and have the ability/option to run 35"s if my bigger is better gene kicks in?

Ford is going to start offering the 6.2L V8 as an option in the E-Series cutaways later this year. That might be an easier swap than a 5.0L Coyote.

New engine for E-Series stripped chassis and cutaway
Ford E-Series stripped chassis and cutaway models – frequently modified into ambulances, delivery vans and motorhomes – get a new engine for 2017.

The 6.2-liter V8 engine proven in Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks will be available midyear for 2017 E-Series cutaway. Customers can choose from the new 6.2-liter V8 or the standard 6.8-liter V10.

The 6.2-liter V8 engine’s single-overhead-cam design and dual-equal variable cam timing help optimize power through the entire power range. The engine is E85 flex fuel-capable – meaning it can run on unleaded gasoline or E85 (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline).

A CNG/propane gaseous engine prep package is available for conversion to compressed natural gas or propane autogas. An E-Series cutaway with the CNG/propane package can be upgraded with aftermarket upfits to bi-fuel capability – enabling it to run on either unleaded gasoline or natural gas.
