This is an opinion based piece with a few quotes. No different than you or me. I wouldn’t put any weight into this video.
Kinda makes me think of a custom wikiVid

Maybe it's a cost thing, but I think the Coyote would be better for transplants than an LS.
Especially in things like Miatas.

LS motors in trucks are just not good, oil pressure issues. I can not understand at all why somebody would choose in inherit those issues.

Just think if you could put this engine in a 60s Mustang. Without all the modern controls it would be a handful for the average driver.
People do Coyote swaps all the time on classic Mustangs. Although it's quite expensive and requires a lot of fabrication.

I can imagine how expensive. Maybe one day my engine blows and I could put a DH short block in my GT. Would probably fit without mods.

The DH 5.0 is exactly the same as the GT 5.0 outside of the forged connecting rods.

Even though I have a VooDoo right now......I have MUCH love and respect for the Coyote....such a great motor....I hope it stays around for many years to come.....

Really? Dream-on. Nice to imagine but in no universe does this engine end-up in anything but super high-priced, specialty vehicles. Just remember if you are going to inhale buy quality $hit.

Looks like the 5.0 is going to be around longer than believed. Look at all the innovations which have gone into this engine over the years.
Except at 2:09 they say it is a 5.2 not a 5.0 for 2026.

Read the comments below where they explain. They also say 5.2. No one reads those. 5.2 won't be back. Maybe by Shelby, but not Ford.

There is no Shelby, period. If Ford does a S650 special edition, and they most likely will do, then it is unlikely it will have a Coyote. That leaves the 5.2. Well we can hope, can’t we?

It will break down quickly with that Booboo.

.......and some forum members whine about the price of a GT now? With that engine add another, what? 30K? ...... as I said, IMO, that engine - if it happens - will be reserved for VERY expensive, limited edition, NOT mass produced, specialty vehicles.
