I noticed on the forum that BDR and SPF have managed to put make them fit, but I can't find coyote 5.0 vs 351/windsor dimensions anywhere.

Thanks, guys -

Lance Stander of Hillbank just installed a new 5.0
Coyote mustang in a Mk 111. Below is what he wrote. hope this helps. tin-man

Well we have the first Ford 5.0 Coyote mustang engine in a MKIII. It is the best Cobra I have driven so far. Not the most powerful but it does light up the tires in first and second very easily. It starts up like a production car, idles very smoothly but if you rev it, it has a great sound, almost to loud. Torque comes in almost immediately. It could easily be a daily drive, with great Gas mileage. It is the nicest looking install and engine bay look, for a modern engine in a Cobra. It looks like a high end factory production car engine bay. The Coyote engines are very reasonably priced from Ford and a viable option. We will have more details later and will share them with whoever is interested. Let me know.
