putting a ford 5.0 in a 72 Dart

-
Putting a gen3 hemi in these cars is monumental as well. The only difference is, there is some aftermarket support.
 
I mean it'll fit, think this car uses the QA1/Gerst front suspension

I just wish the coyote sounded better, that is my biggest issue with them. Granted most of them are in Mustangs that kids have chopped the mufflers off of.

Are they the engines with the 180 flat plane cranks?

I don't like the way any factory EFI engines sound. They sound what I've always called "flat". It's just a different sound with no "personality" if you will. Even a stone stock 2bbl 318 sounds good in comparison.

:lol: When I put the Hookers on Charlie the Swinger before I gave it to my brat to drive for school, instantly he sounded like there was a Purple Shaft added also. Just a factory 318, but those headers and turbo mufflers made it sound very lopey. I wasn't the only one hearing it either. Many people asked "What kinda cam has that thing got in it?" :lol:

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.

a coyote is wide as hell.. gonna need a bunch of cutting i'd guess.. a LS swap would be much easier in my opinion..
 
I say go for it. It’s only mounts, a trans crossmember, and a torsion bar crossmember. Same amount of work to do almost any overdrive trans and a gen 3 hemi. Do it, put turbos on it, make 1200 hp and drive the **** out of it. Who cares what a bunch of purists think that never drive their restored junk.

The problem isn’t the mounts, it’s the headers/exhaust that become the issue. When Jared put the coyote in his Duster (with coilovers) he had to make extremely restrictive headers just to get them to fit.

shoot man, a coil over front end and some J bars, remove the fenderwells and that solves about 85% of the problems right there.
 
I've had many people ask if my '93 Dakota has a can in it, and it's a bone stock Magnum 5.2, but it does haul ***.

A 4 link AND CalTracs? How’s that work?
