Coyote/10R80 swap

I am currently building a 70 Bronco 4 door (30" stretch) with a new custom Frame and am trying to figure out which engine to start with (Mustang or F150). I am not worried about the horsepower gain in the Mustang engine because I am going to install a Whipple supercharger anyway. My main concern is if there is ample aftermarket swap goodies for the F150 engine as their are for the Mustang engine? When I search the Ford Performance Parts website I do not even see a complete standalone harness for the F150 engine. I plan to use the F150 10R80 trans and transfer case as well. Does anyone have thoughts or input that may help me with my build? Thanks

The F150 transfer case is too wide and won't fit between the frame rails of an eb.

But you could use a Dana 20, NP205 or Atlas.
Just need an adapter for that 10r tranny.

With an aftermarket frame, it can fit.

I looked at this comparison a while back more for curiosity sake as I have the 5.0 in my '12 F150 and it performs fine in a 6600# truck.

I believe the front dress is different and the F150 hangs some accessories down or out in the way of the frame/inner fenders more than the Mustang does.

I'd like to see how close the rear of that Transfer Case is to the Yoke on the Differential?

With that transfer case I can see why you would need a 30" stretch. You can just about use the stock driveshaft again.
