It looks like getting the correct outputs to the chassis harness is really not that bad. Power steering kit it available through Ford Performance and a couple other companies.

T3650 also bolts to the Coyote

I should have clarified, auto trans cars take the brunt of wiring issues if you're trying to control it via OEM PCM.

I stand by this swap being "really involved and not cheap."

Did you read the article or just look at the pictures?

What you see being done there was not required to get the motor to fit.

why not just buy an early mustang for a daily driver ??

Already have one of those and daily drove it through college. It sucked watching it get the crap beat out of it in parking lots, even when it works well the A/C can't keep up with a Texas summer, the ride isn't daily driver comfortable, never ending list of things to fix, it would actually cost more than than a newer one... The list could go on.

A 10 year old mustang is as close to a classic as I would want in a daily driver.

I miss my '06 sometimes.

Sure, I read the article - and I've seen this swap done before. If you think it's a cheap and easy swap, then have at it. The reality is that gauges, air conditioning, power steering, and a few other "nice to haves" are a real pain in the ass to deal with.

Here's some good info: http://s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82094

And if you want to swap the '11+ interior at the same time to simplify the gauges, that can be done too: http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63531

For 99.9999999% of people that want a coyote in an S197 car, it's easier (and cheaper) to just buy one.

I agree it would be easier and likely cheaper to just buy one of the newer cars.

I think we have different opinions of what a pain in the ass is when it comes to working on cars. Adapting the systems you listed is pretty much what needs to be dealt with in any street car engine swap.

Hah, he hasn't touched it. I'm going off of the 90's when I had two different classic mustangs with perfectly functioning A/C and it just ain't enough. Freezes your knees though.

Still love my KB 06
Hope next couple years, full build will commence.

I traded in my 07 (that I though I never would) for my last Mustang that I will ever need....I couldn't be happier though. the Shelby is a beast!
