putting a ford 5.0 in a 72 Dart

Codybones said

Morning everyone
My question today is how hard and how much engineering goes into swapping a 318 with a 5.0 coyote? I want the modern smooth running fuel injection plus a little more HP without a bunch of huge parts that i'd have to add to the 318. what are the major stumbling blocks that I will run into?
Thanks for any help.

First, welcome to the site. There is a new member forum where you can introduce yourself but we'll skip that. What you want to do is build a Frankenstein, meaning it's not a common swap and you'll be creating/fabricating a lot on your own. To name a few will be mounts, transmissions/mounts, exhaust, brackets and just about anything else you can think of.

I will give you credit for using the Coyote instead of a LS. :)
Best of luck with your endeavor.
