From an external point of view the truck coyote is identical to the mustang version. There are only 3 things that are different between the two, The mustang version gets 11.0:1 compression ratio while the truck gets 10.5:1, the next difference is the cams. I have heard from some that the exhaust cams are different, while others say the intakes are. Either way, something is different with the cams. And the third is the stock programming in the ECM. Stock power ratings are 360 hp and 380 tq on the truck and either 412 or 420 hp and 390 tq on the stang version.
Now that the basics are outta the way, lets get to the upgrades available.
The intake manifold is the same between the two, so that means the two available intakes from FRPP will fit the truck engine. They are the BOSS 302 intake and the Cobra Jet intake. The pros and cons of both are,
Boss intake
Pros-extends the upper rpm range beyond what the stocker can do while losing very little to none on the bottom end. Can use the stock round 80 mm TB or the larger TB's from BBK and FRPP in the 85 and 90 mm sizes.
Cons- doesn't make as much power as the CJ intake.
Cobra Jet intake
Pros- makes more power than the boss does.
Cons- loses some bottom end in trade for the excellent top end, needs an oval TB from the Shelby GT 500 engine and a new CAI tube.
Camshafts as of now there are only to companies that have cams for the coyote. FRPP (ford racing power parts) and comp cams.
The cams available from frpp is the stock mustang set and the boss 302 set. That's it
From comp there are six sets available, 3 N/A and 3 blower grinds. All are NSR (no springs required) but do require phaser locks. For my money, if I were going to drop approx 1500 on a set of cams, I'm getting the comps. They make more power than the stockers. Remember, the hp gains claimed are on a mustang coyote, so why would you put stock stang cams in your truck engine. I have seen reports of people getting anywhere from 80-100 more hp at the wheels on a stang with the boss intake and bigger tb, cnc ported heads, and a set of comp cams. If those claims are true that means up to 120 hp more at the crank. There is no reason you can't expect as much if not more on a truck coyote. Remember, the truck has milder cams and milder tuning than the mustang, so if you put mods intended for a stang on the truck you can get some huge gains.
Headers-Only two companies make long tubes for the coyote trucks. American racing headers makes a set and so does Stainless works. The SW's come in two versions, single outlet to work with the stock or aftermarket cat back setups, and a dual outlet setup for custom dual exhausts.
FRPP has 4 different coyote crate motors, the stock 412 hp mustang engine, the 444 hp boss 302 engine, and 2 aluminator engines. Both aluminators have forged internals for higher boost levels, and both have the bosses on the front cover machined off to accommodate the frpp supercharger. One version comes with 8.5:1 CR and the other has a stock 11:1 CR
Superchargers- FRPP/whipple makes a 2.3L twin screw s/c specifically for the coyote engine, but it requires modification to the front cover. Edelbrock also makes one and it uses the 2.3L eaton TVS rotors. and Roush makes one also and it too uses the 2.3 eaton TVS, the roush uses a second belt to drive the s/c instead of the main FEAD belt like the edelbrock and frpp/whipple.
I imagine that the big players for centrifugal s/c's have or are working on a setup for the coyote trucks. They are vortech, procharger, paxton, etc. Also STS turbo makes a universal single turbo kit, but it mounts under the truck and down stream of the Y pipe, no good on an off road truck. Also hellion power systems can make you a custom single or twin turbo setup for $$$
Dress up items- if you stay with the stock intake you can use the mustang engine cover, it snaps right on. Also the frpp coil covers for the mustang fit the truck too.
