The 2.7 ecoboost is a 60* V, the Coyote is 90*. The Coyote is wider just considering that. The coyote wouldn't fit due to shock tower restrictions more likely than frame restrictions.
Hell, color me educated. I had no idea they weren't the same!

do SFA swap, remove the towers, relocate upper mounting points for shocks/springs to a hoop on the frame. clearance resolved.

Yeah AFAIK manufacturers haven't really been doing 90° V6 engines for a while, except Jaguar Land Rover. Their AJ126 V6 is ... special

So is the 3.5 ecoboost and the NA 3.7 V6 (which I wouldn't have mind having in the lighter versions of Bronco. Owning the 3.7 in a Mustang it is a highly dependable engine even fully modded tuned).

there are 2 different 3.0 aluminum and iron. BOTH are just bored AND stroked versions of the 2.7. But same basic block.

Iron block - Continental and MKZ 400hp and 400lbft

Aluminum block Explorer And aviator
365/380 or 400/415.

then the 3.0 power stroke is basically the 3.0 iron block but made for diesel.
Lately there´s some sources that are claiming the Ford Nano engine with 3. 0 l V6 petrol is made with two dirrerent block materials . This engine is guessed to come in the coming Bronco Raptor

This is a complete misunderstanding.
Read this:

Prominent among the cylinder blocks on display is the world’s first high volume CGI petrol engine cylinder block, the Ford 2.7 litre V6 EcoBoost, establishing a new benchmark for CGI in petrol applications. The display also included a direct comparison between the Audi 3.0 litre V6 CGI cylinder block and the Mercedes 3.0 litre V6 aluminium cylinder block, highlighting that the assembled Compacted Graphite Iron engine is 125 mm shorter and weighs 15 kg less than the aluminium engine.

You can´t make an engineblock with two such different materials without have a completly different size. The aluminium block must be much bigger in size and as you see above the aluminium therefore often weighs more than the CGI-engine. I think an aluminium version of the EcoBoost 3,0 needs a bigger enginebay.

Ford racing small blocks come in iron and aluminum and really they are just thicker in places.

4.6 ford v8 is iron but has an aluminum version for the Murader and Cobra. Hardly a difference

Stay with a 2.7 and easily achieve 400 hp to the rear wheels with no strain on the engine. Now when you get to 550 hp at the rear wheels then objects start to fly.
