putting a ford 5.0 in a 72 Dart

So in my memory, we’ve got a guy doing a Cummins swap, another doing a jeep 4.0 swap, another did a 3.6 pentastar swap and I know of 2 that started SRT4 swaps but never finished them. So in light of all that, I think he should go ahead with the coyote swap!
To put a finer point on your comments though...
At the very least, those that you mentioned originated from some form of a Mopar, not a Ford or Chevy.
