Welcome to my MK 4 Coyote Build Thread. After I took my RIF this past January, I had two weeks to develop an order for the Factory Five (F5) Winter 50/50 sale. Not knowing anything about this process, I did as much investigating as possible to get an order in before the end of January. It was chaotic to say the least. And of course, being a novice, I made mistakes in placing the order.

My initial plan was pretty simple. Order an MK 4 Complete Kit from F5 and have Mike Forte provide me with the powertrain and the rear end.

My Build is a Mark 4, 5.0L 420HP Coyote, 8.8”, 3.55 Diff, IRS, Custom Coyote SS Headers, 17” 5-lug Halibrand wheels, upgraded front and rear Wilwood brakes. No PS or PB at the present time but this may change.

For the time being, expected additions and modification to be ordered are:
Hydraulic clutch
TKO 600 transmission with mid-shifter and spacers
Thompson turn signals
Breeze engine compartment battery box
Accelerator, Clutch and Dead Pedal mod.
Cockpit and trunk heat and sound insulation
Powder coated panels
Tunes
Foot Box vents

The Coyote engine and the ECU arrived yesterday. The MK 4 Complete kit will be delivered Monday, June 23rd. The body buck will be suspended from the garage ceiling.

Photos to follow after Monday.
