Has anyone transplanted a Coyote (5.0-5.8) into a 2000 XKR withs a 6 speed Tremec?

 

It would be a neat swap, but I would think it would need a hood scoop to fit under the bonnet in front.


I could take a tape measure to my 5.0, but the motor is tall in front, where the jag motor is not, with the rear throttle body. An LS1 is much more compact in comparison.

Well I'm intending on putting in the TVS 2.6 blown model. It has a Jag hump in the middle and the XKR vents. So I'm thinking; DRY sump, lower mounts, raising the center bump. Improving the vents. Smaller dual disc clutch. I think it might fit!

 

Too wide, won't fit between the shock towers.

Major surgery to do that conversion.

 

Kool, gotta do the rear anyway. Gonna cage it anyway.

 

Plus I need better geometry F & R. Much bigger brakes and a whole lot of tire. Gonna go Vette chassin'. Move the motor back. Transaxle rear end.

 

Could put a V6 eco-boost in the backseat!
