Is it possible to put a coyote 5.0 in a 5th gen?

I am considering building a sports suv and wanted to put a 5.0 coyote engine in an Explorer. Would their be enough room to fit the engine?

I don't think so. The clearances are really tight in the Explorer as it is with the 3.5L and they can barely even fit the 3.5L Ecoboost engine in it. I'd like to see someone try though.

Hahah, anything is possible with a little creativity and money! I'm guessing you would have to cut up the bay some to get it in there, not by much but it would be one heck of project and well worth it! That would be a one of a kind beast!
