How complicated would swapping the 260 in my BF for a coyote be?

I wouldn't think it would be too bad, the firing order is different, so a little wiring would be in order, most of it is a bolt straight in job.

You can get a wiring harness on the NA 5.0 that should help.

Theo, you guys got any clients looking at the 5.0 NA conversion? Is this something that you may offer in the future?

So would it be worth looking at this path if considering an engine swap along with a 2.8LC? What I'm really asking is would their be any advantages to going with the engine/blower combo over the setup you guys did on Tex's car? Main interest is if there is much options as far as aftermarket gear such as cams and extractors and how controlling the VCT with the BF ECU would go.

The US ECM as manage 4 VCT.. the Aust ECU can only run 2 VCT.. so if you were to put a 5.0 in you wont be able to get the 307 as you wont be able to move cams.. and the cam spec's for the Aust cars are different to US 5.0..

It unchartered waters but i am sure we will find out soon, as the few Corba/Kit car workshops are already asking questions from us on tuning ..

If the BF ecu can manage 2 x VCT, wouldn't it be possible to run the 2 intake cames off the 1 channel and the 2 exhaust cams off the other? I don't really understand what advantages could be had running the 2 intake cams independently and having the exhaust cams fixed timing, but I really don't know bugger all about VCT.

Add to that, would the new ECU coming for FG2 (used in the current Tezza) be able to handle it? Guess that depends if its compatible to the rest of the B series or FG components?
