Yeah, yeah. Live axles are old hat. We're still fans of Mustangs, and the latest ones are a performance bargain. Those Coyote five-ohs sound wicked and love to rev. Unlike the old 4.9-liter "5.0," this new one is a legit 4951cc. What would you swap one into?

Unfortunately that engine is still too wide to fit in anything I'd want to put it in. 
Mustangs are a lot of fun, and the complaints about the stick axle are mostly unfounded. I'll take it over the crappy IRS they put in Cobras any day.
I would love a Coyote powered "anything".
Most of the stick axle cars I've driven, when setup correctly, puts the power down very well. I drove one at CMP that had a spool . . .that thing was a beast putting ALL the hp down coming out of the corners.
I would love to put a Coyote in one of my Bimmers. I'm thinking a E34 V8 car . . . preferably a Wagon 
This was the first thing that popped into my head:
Either that or a Roadrunner.

I want a Coyote and 6-speed in my P71!!!!
Factory Five Coupe or Roadster. Straight out of the box, the Coyote finally delivers the power those cars deserve.
Easy, I'd swap a Coyote into a Factory Five Cobra. Does it count as a swap if the FFR doesn't come with an engine to begin with?
The problem with the Coyote (and the Mod Motor before it) has always been physical size. They're monsters.
I'd love to swap one into a 2005-2009 Mustang GT though (with it's much cleaner styling).
In about 15-20 years when they are just old motors I want to shoehorn one into a Lincoln Mark VIII LSC, complete with the 6-speed, in Black. Because that would be bad ass.
I love the new five-oh, but I won't go through the expense to retrofit my 4.6L '05. I'd rather just invest in boost.
OTOH, the FFR cars would be the secks with a little puppy power. Or maybe a late sixties galaxie ragtop....
So the older motor wasn't a 5.0 because they rounded up, but the 4951 is because...why? 5000cc = 5.0 liters. Period.
That said, I hear it is a great motor and I want a Boss 302 really, really bad.
Pinchvalve has a good point. Per the formula, the old 302 was 4942cc, only slightly smaller than the 4951cc for the Coyote. Plus, I wish they had built a 4-valve, 4" bore and 3" stroke 302, instead of the 3.63 x 3.65 it has now.
Swapping it into other vehicles is made more difficult because of the size. One down side to multicam engines is the size/height.
In reply to pinchvalve:
Because the rules of math say that when there's a 5 you round up, and when there's a 4 you round down, so: 4942 rounds to 4940 rounds to 4900 which is 4.9L but 4951 rounds to 4950 rounds to 5000 which is 5.0L.
5,000cc = 5.000L
4951cc = 5.0L or 4.951L
4942cc = 4.942L or 4.9L or 5L
It's all about significant digits and rounding and other egg-headish type stuff.

P.S. why does formatting seem to go out the window when you edit a post?
what BS... you guys are arguing about 9cc
not knowing the motives of the Ford engineers... but I'd guess the went with the longer stroke because of one thing... gas mileage (more torque)
They went with a longer stroke for one reason only, money. The Coyote (while sharing practically zilch with the Mod) is made on the same production lines, which have a set bore spacing. 3.63 is simply the biggest bore they can get in that tooling and it's too expensive for them to do a clean-sheet engine.

The 1.6-liter in an MR2 is 1587cc. The 3.9-liter Rover V8 displaces 3946cc.
Just sayin'.
it's that extra 9cc that makes all the difference in the world.. and adds a foot of width to the engine..

I'll go up a notch and say a Marauder.
So this is a different motor than the 4.6? I didn't know they had a new motor, just thought they played with displacement on the old motor.

Yup, it's "new". The bore spacing and tooling used at the factory are the same, but something like 90% of the engine is redesigned. I've heard that 0 parts interchange. New block, new heads, new accessories, etc.

But I don't have a Marauder... LOL
I wish Ford had made the last 100 or so of the Panther's with 5.0's. That would have been an awesome send-off to a great chassis.

FTFM . . . lol!! Bad Typist Mondays . . .
Just and FYI, I don't believe that any of the 4v motors fit in the FFR Coupe, only the Roadster. No, I don't know what would be different in the engine bay that would make that the case.
For me, I'd drop the 5.0 in my Bronco and scrap that truck-block 302 that's in there presently.
