So, I see these mustang coyote motors on eBay for reasonable prices with low miles from wrecks.

What else should I budget for a MKIV build to wire the motor stand alone. I see ford power packs for like $2k, is there anyone reworking the factory harness for stand alone (I've used several LS1's in other projects and always had factory harness and ECM reworked and flashed for $3-500.

Also I see people swapping out oil pans. Whats wrong with factory oil pan?

I also see a lot of discussion about expensive power steering conversions, whats wrong with the factory unit?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Mike
