It's the same. The transmission is a different story, at least with the manual. 2018 has aluminum shift forks, mid 2019 and up went back to steel which is a lot more durable.

There are no liners, it is a sprayed in alloy called PTWA.
My '21 engine is dead quiet at idle and the trans shifts really well... very impressed. Granted not "rifle action" like a T56, or miata I had but certainly not what I was hearing a lot about. I expected the worst and then test drove the car before I bought it, willing to walk away and it surprised me.

Go to this forum on here, at the very top of that forum there are (2) stickies regarding the Coyote:
https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/forums/v8-5-0l-engine-mods-bolt-ons-exhaust-tuning.62/

The one sticky contains the info about the plasma arc lining, the other contains all of the tech specs of the Coyote variations from 2015 forward.

Hope that helps.

No only a 16 and 17 model . Was thinking of upgrading to a 18 /19 model but was warned off them to buy a 2020

There is no difference between an 18/19 or 20, or 21 engine.
