Coyote Being Phased Out in 2018?

[Jdav]

From the press release: Ford’s legendary 5.0-liter V8 engine has been thoroughly reworked. It is more powerful and revs higher than any Mustang GT before. This power increase was achieved with the first application for Mustang of Ford’s new dual-fuel, high-pressure direct injection and low-pressure port fuel injection on a V8 engine – delivering robust low-end torque, high-rpm power, and improved fuel efficiency.

I'm going back and forth on the Aluminator vs the Gen 3 Coyote coming out next year. I know Paul (Edwardb) is planning the new Gen 3 Coyote, but my question / concern is if the headers, engine mounts, A/c, etc will all bolt up, or are these completely new form factors?

I hate to be on the bleeding edge on this stuff. Any idea if the new engines are "backward compatible" to the FFR parts?

I don't think there's anyone (well outside of Ford...) that knows how compatible the Gen 3 Coyote form factor is vs. the Gen 2. There were some minor differences between Gen 1 and Gen 2, but basic stuff like engine mounts, headers, intake, bell housing, etc. were compatible. Hoping for the same on the Gen 3, but too soon to know. I keep hearing "second quarter 2018" for the Gen 3 crate.
