Glad someone else saw my post, Joe!
I'm thinking the same - if these 2012-2015 Coyotes are the same dimensions, buy the baddest one, once this swap is proven and parts attainable.

Here's the old girl coming out, she was a good one and will make the new owner happy, and put his Marauder back on the road:
You have to use this oil pan, or make a solution of your own. The small hump highlighted on the stock Coyote pan will slam into the engine cradle. The Moroso pan isn't 100% either, I had to move the engine back just a bit by slotting the stock Marauder engine mounts. It doesn't take much, the pan barely hits once you get the trans installed and trans crossmember in. For now, i'm using the stock 4R70W for today's mock up purposes, as I don't have the engine/transmission yet (set to arrive Tuesday, I have a 2nd 5.0L that's got internal issues i'm using for mock-up purposes, hence the VERY DIRTY oil pan!). At that time, we'll see what all problems the 6 speed adds. This way, I can also get readings on all the proper angles things need to set at, for when I have to make the transmission crossmember/modify it for the 6speed setup.
The engine is slightly wider than the outgoing 4.6L, but so far, does not appear to cause a concern other than very slight interference on the heater case, which for me was nothing more than a slight depression into the space blanket type wrapping that's on it.
More to come.

Indeed, I did Bob. I forgot to mention that. I took all the driveline angles prior to taking the stock 4v out. I then seated the Coyote, and re measured. It appears at this time, that the Coyote does not change any angles. At this point if I were using the 4R70W, the stock driveline could be reused no issue even with the slight adjustment rearward of the powertrain.
More to come on the crossmember once I get the 6R in there. My plans are to cut/rework and reweld the stock cross member, but we'll see once the 6R is in, and angles are set, what i'm left to work with.
Exhaust at this point will be a set of stock Mustang tubular manifolds. The truck mani's are simply too wide to work with. The passenger side would probably work, but the driver side is a no go. I took some measurements from a stock Mustang yesterday on the lift at work, and it looks like they will fit just fine. I will know as soon as they arrive for test fitting next week.
As long as the 6r tucks into the tunnel, this sukka will be a go at this point! IF for some reason it won't fit.....I will most likely use the 4R70 from here on.
Stay tuned.

You could always just go the redneck route and bang out the tunnel. If for some reason you run into a serious problem, you could always make a custom tunnel. The only problem I see with a new tunnel is getting the console to fit over it if it's significantly different.

Mine fit. [emoji6] And you could say it was significantly different alright! ANYTHING is possible. [emoji106]

Was your trans output shaft angle lowered relative to stock as a result of the manual swap? Do you think this worsened the Marauder driveshaft vibration issue?

On my '97, which ran a GM 4L80E, I simply recorded all angles with a magnetic angle meter, and set them the same going back together with the chevy stuf. I had no issues to 160 mph in that car, using the stock Vic driveshaft, which I had shortened and high speed balanced.
Calling it quits for the day! Pic dump time!
That will be all till Wednesday evening or so when I get back on it, and the trans/accessory bracket/ect will be here.
Going good!
