The Gen 2 Coyote, found in 2015-2017 Mustang GTs, is the sweet spot for builders who want more power and refinement than the Gen 1 without the added complexity of direct injection. At 435 horsepower from the factory, the Gen 2 is a meaningful step up from its predecessor, and is similar enough to the Gen 1 that many of the same swap parts carry over. That crossover compatibility makes the Gen 2 a smart choice for Fox Body and SN95 swap builds where you want more power without the added cost of a Gen 3 or 4 engine. At LMR, we stock everything you need to get a Gen 2 Coyote running in your swap vehicle. Start with a control pack to get your engine running standalone, then build out the rest with swap-specific motor mounts, oil system components, fuel system parts, cooling upgrades, pedal brackets, alternator solutions, crankshaft and timing components, A/C kits, PS/hydroboost setups, starters, engine covers, and engine blocks — all in one place, organized so you can shop by category and work through your parts list efficiently. Check out our Gen 2 Coyote Swap Fox Body Build or our Gen 2 Coyote Swap New Edge to get some inspiration for your project.
