Mock Up Your Coyote Swap Build Quicky and Easily Without the Need for An Actual Engine

Blue Oval fans have always touted “Ford in a Ford” when it comes to engine swaps. We get it, Henry Ford would have wanted it the same way. So, while the small block Ford to even classic big blocks have been swapped into all manner of Ford cars and trucks over the years, the hottest swap coming from the Blue Oval camp over the last decade and change has been the Coyote swap—the 5.0L DOHC engine that first appeared in the 2011 Mustang GT. This engine is a technological marvel with twin independent variable cam timing (meaning the intake and exhaust cams can be adjusted independently of each other), drive by wire throttle control, and much more. The massive dual overhead cam cylinder heads are often the go/no go gauge of whether a Coyote-based engine will fit in something, meaning test fitting the engine into a chassis is a must to avoid headaches.

Traditionally, building something with an engine that was never meant to be installed in it would require an engine hoist, an actual engine, and a spotter or two keeping things in check while measurements were taken, parts tack welded, and so forth. It’s not an easy or quick process, and it can be dangerous with a 400 plus pound Coyote engine dangling on a chain over your hands (or head!). While this may have been how your father did engine swaps in the past, there is a better, and safer way to mock up the wide DOHC headed Coyote engine in your project, and that is with the Speedway Motors SoloSwap™ steel Coyote mock up engine block.

Laser Cut Steel Plate for Strength, Simplicity, and Easy Storage

Even if you have your Coyote engine all apart down to the bare block, that bare casting is still well over a hundred pounds to try and roughly move into place to figure out your engine mounts, headers, and more on your project. Using replica engines to mock up your Coyote swap for your project is much safer and your back will thank you for your efforts.

Past mock up options included a plastic engine block or foam engine block, which, while being light and easy to maneuver, these plastic engines often did not hold up well to repeated usage or the installation of heavy components like long tube headers or a turbo manifold with turbo bolted to it. They’re also not the best option when localized welding and grinding is happening to fab engine mounts/brackets either. Plastic blocks can easily be damaged from grinding or welding sparks. This is why we designed our SoloSwap™ Coyote mock up block system from laser cut 12-gauge steel with all accessory mounting holes accessible from the back side for simple “nut and bolt” assembly of your accessories for engine mock up. No more thread inserts that work their way out of the foam engine block material or even needing the factory hardware during the mock up phase. Just grab yourself any fastener of the proper length and diameter, saving the good installation hardware for final assembly.

Available in Short Block or Long Block Configurations

Furthermore, our SoloSwap™ Coyote mock up engine block, which is available in short block and long block options, ships unassembled, saving you shipping costs and storage room when not in use. Simply assemble the mock up pieces following the provided instructions with the fasteners included and your mock up engine block is ready to use in minutes. Our steel mock up block can also be easily disassembled for storage, unlike some steel mock up blocks that utilize folding tabs. Once those tabs are bent over the block stays assembled. Store your disassembled mock up block wherever it will easily fit, such as under a workbench, on a shelf, or other location that a full size plastic engine block or real engine block wouldn’t fit or have the weight capacity to handle (ever try storing a real engine block on a plastic shelf?).

Our patent pending SoloSwap™ steel Coyote mock up engine block weighs in at just 22 pounds for the short block and 40 pounds for the long block (that’s only 11 pounds heavier than the foam engine block version we mentioned), making it easy to handle and position all by yourself safely in the engine bay of your project. If you opt for the long block version the included 12-gauge steel cylinder heads provide mounting locations for your intake manifold, exhaust manifolds or headers, and even your cam covers so you can quickly confirm if you’ll have any fitment issues in your engine compartment with the Coyote’s wide four-cam cylinder heads.

This allows the complete mockup of an assembled and dressed engine, right down to your choice of cam covers, heads, and more to confirm fitment, clearances, plumbing, wire routing, and so much more easily. Even if you’re just using the short block, you can confirm fitment and engine location by mounting the oil pan, timing cover, water pump, and accessory brackets to our mock up block easily. Due to the similar dimensions and standard motor mount and transmission bolt pattern, the short block can be used as a basic bare block mock up for earlier Ford modular engines as well, including the 4.6L, 5.4l, and 5.8L models. The SoloSwap™ short block also accepts all stock and aftermarket Coyote cylinder heads as well, so feel free to bolt up your actual cylinder heads for your mock up duties if you like! Use the best suited for your project and get to work mocking up your engine.

Replicates Popular Ford Coyote Based Engines for Perfect Mock Up Test Fitting

We did all the homework for you when designing our new steel SoloSwap™ Coyote mock up engine block assembly. We have provided all mounting holes to replicate the engine block and heads of the 2011 to current , including the Roadrunner version found in the 2012-2013 Boss 302 and all 5.0L Coyote engines used in the F-series trucks. Our Coyote mock up engine block will also work for all versions of the 5.2L Coyote, including the flat plane crank Voodoo engine found in the 2015-2020 Shelby GT350/GT350R, the cross plane crank supercharged Predator engine found in the 2020-2022 Shelby GT500, and the cross plane crank Ford Performance 5.2L Aluminator crate engine.

Now you can quickly and easily confirm you have enough clearance for radiator cooling fans, power steering rack, fluid reservoirs, and other items commonly found at the front of the engine compartment. So, whether you plan for a sole 5.0L Coyote swap in your home garage, or your hot rod shop is looking for an easier way to make 5.0L and 5.2L Coyote swaps happen in your customer’s cars, our SoloSwap™ bolt together steel Coyote mock up engine block will help you get the job done safely and quickly.

Installation Tips

• Cylinder head bolts are not supplied, when mounting real cylinder heads you must use your stock or aftermarket bolts to mount
• Any accessory mounting (fuel pump, water pump, headers, etc.) must be done with the fasteners included with the accessory or aftermarket replacement hardware
• The SoloSwap™ mock up cylinder heads included in the long block option are condigured to replicate Coyote DOHC cylinder heads only, other modular cylinder heads will not work
• The short block may be used to mock up other Ford modular V8 engine short blocks, though not all accessories may bolt up
• To resist flash rusting we recommend coating the steel sections in a light coat of WD-40 or other product, or they can be clear powder coated or clear painted
