The Coyote motor shares many attributes of the current Modular motor configuration. It's not very long but it is wide, "Boss 429 wide", and then some.

To make this motor fit, Hi-Tech first narrowed the Superformance foot boxes and moved the entire steering shaft over as well as other modifications to fit the modular motor starting with car #2028, which left the factory on 10/19/2004.

Then towards the end of 2005 (in the car 2200-ish range), the steering shaft was moved outwards once more which also required a notch to be made in the inner fenderwell.

I doubt the Coyote engine will fit in the cars built prior to #2028 or before October of 2004.
