Released in both the Mustang and Ford F-150 pickup truck in 2011, the Ford Coyote 5.0L V8 quickly earned a legion of fans thanks to its durability and performance.
And after a mild update in 2015, the stage was set for a third generation Ford 5.0L Coyote V8 to launch in 2018—which brought port fuel injection and a unique engine block to the Mustang and F-150 party. It’s important to note here too, that the third-gen Mustang and truck Coyotes still had some key differences, with the F-150 maintaining its flex fuel/E85 capability.
So that’s the engine we’re featuring here: the third generation, direct injection Ford 5.0L Coyote V8 found in the 2018+ Ford F-150 pickup truck.

They’re on the back (rear) of each head.
Check out this pic of an aftermarket Ford Performance Gen. 3 Coyote Cylinder head. While this is an aftermarket part and won’t carry stock casting numbers, hopefully this’ll give you a good idea of what the casting IDs look like:
