Gen 4 coyote swap

[HadoDemi]

today I finished dyno tuning my gen 4 coyote swapped s550.
There is some relevant information involved in the swap so I’m putting the information out there.
As the ford gen 3 long blocks dry up this should prove to be an economical option for engine replacements.
What you will need:
A drivers side exhaust bracket. They changed the bolt pattern. I don’t know if the new header will fit our cars but using a bracket I was able to re use my long tubes. You can either make one or buy one: https://tomsoffroad.com/products/ge...T4ckS1mC-0PFBv2DznetYEGiKAYG8mRKkI7LtaaSmy2JQ
You will use the new DI injectors. They are a new design that sits at a different depth and revised spray pattern. It is compatible with our electronics, you will have to transfer your old DI pump, fuel rails and hard lines.
Transfer your gen 3 intake manifold. No one has gotten the gen 4 to work with our electronics… yet.
Transfer you heater hose neck from you old block.
Things I did that aren’t necessary but good to know:
I put Boundary gen 3 opg’s and crank sprocket in. Along with gt350 primary chains and ratcheting tensioners.
the new oil pan cleared without issue.
You will need a tune. Or you won’t have VVT.
Currently the only tuner that has successfully tuned this swap is the boys over at PBD. Huge shout out to Koby!
Happy to answer any questions!

The dark horse uses a steel oil pan correct with the same 10 quart capacity?

@HadoDemi did the long block come with the new DI injectors? Did you use the DH or regular GT long block?

The long block will include the new injectors, I whent with the regular GT, my goal was to keep it as affordable as possible.

Hey I just sent you a DM but I was in the same boat as you but you have got further than me! I have a 2018 F150 and the engine died so I did a Darkhorse Long block swap in my truck. The engine is in, the truck cranks and idles perfectly but without a tune is loses power after 2nd gear because the timing is off. The truck is currently at a tuner shop but it seems like nobody wants or knows how to tune it. Want to know if you have any advice or if your guys at Palm Beach can reach out to me.
