    Thinking I want to start my 33 soon

    Hi y'all.

    I'm thinking I wanna do a 33. I am undecided if I want a factory five or to do a rats glass speedstar. I do want to do a coyote and that may be the coin flipper (not sure it'll fit in a speed star)

    That said, how hard is it to change a FFR set up for another motor and trans to a coyote mounts?

    If you have one that is either unfinished or you've given up on, or even a finished one that's time for a refresh, please contact me via email.

    And since spam email searchs are getting real smart, after the carnu30

    Add @eatel.net.

    Thanks y'all!

    Btw, I'm in Louisiana. Would like to pick up or meet. I have trailer and don't mind driving a bit.

    The Coyote is a direct fit. No frame changes needed.

    The FF motor mounts are modular so you just buy the right adapter from FF and you are good to go. The coyote also uses an extra bearing to push the
    steering shaft out further to clear that motor. That bearing is designed to clamp to a chassis tube so that's a bolt on part as well. If you buy an older kit
    just call FF with the serial number and they can tell you what you need for that engine swap.
    Now if you want to put a Hemi in it that is a bit more complicated

    Awesome. That makes things easy. Thanks!

    Back to LTB thread. I have more questions but I think I'll start a thread in the right area after I research.
