While the Coyote really appeals to me, I'd be concerned about how it would encroach on footwell space. I'm 6'3", with size 11 feet, and if I were building a coupe I'd most likely go with a stroked 351W - mostly for space, but also partially for appearance. A 427W or a 460W with an 8 stack EFI system would look so sweet and would supply more than sufficient power.
It would also help if you stated where you are. US would allow all of those, but Australia from what I understand would almost force you to the Coyote.

That said, if your car is a new Superformance etc, a Coyote will certainly make it harder to sell in the future. Most buyers want a period correct power train in a Cobra or Coupe.
