1973–79 Coyote Swap Mount Kit

Factory position. Original steering box. Coyote power. The best swaps look like the factory could have done it. That means the engine sits where the original one sat; the suspension geometry is untouched; and the steering box never moves. This kit does that for a 1973-79 Ford. Heavy-duty motor mounts in steel and a precision-welded transmission crossmember that carries a 6R80 or a 10R80 without a second part number. Every bolt; every bracket; the drilling templates and step by step instructions come with it. The engineering is done; what is left is your build. Ships raw steel so you choose the finish. The photos show powder coated sets because that is what these look like when a builder finishes them. Built to order; 6-8 weeks. Worth planning around.

  • Coyote sits where the original engine lived - weight distribution and ground clearance stay the way Ford set them.
  • Power steering preserved - the original box stays put so the truck still steers like a truck.
  • One crossmember; two transmissions - built for the 6R80 and the 10R80 so the build path stays open.
  • Templates included - the drilling is laid out for you rather than measured off a photo.
  • Heavy-duty steel - precision-welded crossmember that will not flex under load.
  • Raw steel; your finish - powder coat; paint or run it bare with nothing to strip first.
