Sbhunter’s coyote build

[sbhunter]

The forklift makes a great engine hoist but I had to come in from the side for clearance. This actually worked out to be an advantage because I could move the engine back and forth with it while rolling the dolly to move the engine front to rear.



Anyone that says this motor isn't big hasn't stuffed it in this hole yet. It did fit with no issues. The panels are form fitted around it like they were made for it, huh.





I was already planning on relocating the first section of rear brake line to inside the DS footwell and come out at the bottom to follow the 4" round tube back but this confirms that the face of the DS panel is not a good place for fluid filled lines.



I have the midshift conversion from Forte installed and there was interference in the tunnel in the usual place. I have cut out a section and will weld in a piece of 3/4 tubing beside it.



I was able to get my pinion and driveshaft angles set and made a transmission spacer for final install. I used the TREMEC app on my iPhone to set these angles but double checked them when I had it the way I wanted it. Anyone who still needs to setup their driveshaft needs to download this app. It makes it really easy to check adjustments in angles.
