MKIV Coyote Fit

[Railroad]

I had a helping hand and got the Coyote set in the frame. I put it in without the trans or bell housing.
A couple of questions or request for pics. The dip stick just barely clears the foot box. Not having the trans to control the angle of the engine, I put a 3/4" block under the crank pulley and front cross member. This is another close clearance point. If anyone has some pictures of how much clearance, I should be seeing in these areas, big thanks.
Both motor mounts and alignment buttons are in place on the frame mounts. I did tighten the nuts on the mounts to keep the engine from getting into the boxes or frame.
Thanks,

I don't have any pictures, but can offer responses. 3/4-inch is about the clearance I have on mine between the crank pulley and front cross member. I can just slide my fingers in the gap. For the dip stick, yes it's tight to the footboxes. But it fits OK. Once it's pulled out of the receptacle, it's flexible enough to navigate around any obstacles. Not super convenient, but no big deal.

I have the same clearances as Paul mentioned. Very tight but doable. One area that I ran into I will mention is where I mounted my triple fluid reservoir. It is on the frame rail and I positioned it prior to putting the motor in. It essentially ended up above the dipstick and it makes mine a little tricky to get in and out. If you are using the same unit and that location which is popular just take a look where the dipstick will end up and position accordingly. Had I known I would have just moved my reservoir forward about 1".

Here you can see how the reservoir is pretty much over the dipstick.

Scott, My reservoirs are a little forward of yours, directly over the headers. Without the scoop and with the block-off panel at the top of the radiator, they get pretty hot. Thinking about moving forward as far as possible.

I found the dipstick fits better one way than the other. Painted one side of the pull ring to index it. No interference issues with the engine installed.

I have the same CNC reservoirs as Scott, mounted in a very similar location. Can also see the dip stick hiding behind them a little. But it works OK as I already mentioned. The reservoirs can't be moved too much forward from this location. The hood gas strut connection is only 2-inches away. Also, the bottom of the front reservoir is already quite close to the coil cover. Moving forward would make it even closer and potentially hard to get the coil cover on and off. I have the reservoirs high enough to be below the hood, but not by much. It's all pretty tight.

Exactly what I needed, plus other possible issues. My dipstick clearance looks more like Edwardb's. Scott's looks like he has an inch or more clearance than me. I am using 3 of the FF reservoirs on a piece of angle. I have not mounted it on the frame and might consider a heat shield under them, now that header heat has been brought to my attention.
Thanks guys.
