It's been done before. Just be prepared to spend a lot of money and time.

+1^^

So many mods need to be done. Just the steering alone is a major undertaking.

It looks real good in that engine bay, tho'...

Not a great swap IMO

Have a look here at the physical size of the Coyote: https://www.enginelabs.com/news/ford...-hp-per-pound/

The 302(5.0l) V8 out of explorer was 20" wide and barely fit
Coyote is a whopping 29" wide..........................
