    Coyote Motor mounts and pin position.

    Hi Guys,
    Please see the attached photos-
    I just set in the coyote motor and TKO600 trans into the car for the fist time.
    I am in the process of checking everything out-Header clearances, spaces, electrical layout, etc...

    Are both of the motor mount pins suppose to sit at the bottom of their slots? As you see the passenger side is up a little from the bottom of the slot and the driver side is all the way down.
    Maybe I don't have the motor correctly "Settled" into position.

    Input, Thoughts please
    Thanks
    Martin

    Gives you a little wiggle room to rotate the motor if you have header to frame issues.

    I haven't worked w/ a Coyote but from several old school small block MkIVs I have worked with, we would have killed to have that option of some movement. They need a big hammer and a 2x4 to bang them so the pins just barely get into the top of the slot.

    Looks pretty normal based on my experience. You might have a little wiggle room there. But the proof will be when fitting the body and aligning the headers/side pipes. I'd leave it the way it is for now.

    Can’t tell by the pic, but did you install the spacers in the mounts?
