The starter motor on a Coyote motor (Ford's 5.0L V8 engine) is typically positioned on the lower rear section of the engine block, near the transmission bell housing. This placement allows the starter motor to efficiently engage with the flywheel, which is mounted to the engine’s crankshaft. For specific Coyote motor applications (such as in Ford F-150s, Mustangs, or Super Duty trucks), the starter location may vary slightly depending on the vehicle’s drivetrain (rear-wheel drive vs. four-wheel drive) and engine configuration, but it generally remains in the vicinity of the bell housing for optimal mechanical engagement.

To locate the starter motor on a Coyote motor:

Regular inspection of the starter motor’s mounting bolts and electrical connections is essential for preventing issues like loose engagement or electrical failure.
