A full inch on the PS foot box. As little as a quarter inch on the drivers side. It’s a half inch on average, but at the bolt bump out it’s a quarter. Is that common?

No, it doesn't hurt anything to be there. But a little strange you can't find it. It's item P on the control pack harness, per the Ford instructions.

Ah, thank you. I totally forgot to download that from Ford. I have been using the FFR Coyote Installation instructions exclusively to try and locate it. Everything has been fine until this FFR picture came up. I had identified the right wire on my own, but apparently the FFR picture is old because it shows the wrong colors and that threw me. You've got me back on track once again.

Paul, while you're at it, would you give me your thoughts on this location for my overflow tank? I know you didn't use the FFR tank, but do you think this location will work regarding hood hinges, etc? I can't go more aft as the engine is so wide, so I think I'm stuck with this side of the brake line or a different tank altogether.

The front to back location will clear the hinges OK. Just watch the height. The gas shock for the hood drops down exactly into that area. Keep it below the bottom of the 3/4-inch hood surround tube (including with the cap) and you'll clear the gas shock.

So the Ford Controls Pack Instruction Sheet says the AC wires come off Takeout CCA, but their picture does not look like what I have. I'm assuming these (pictured below) wires are the same thing. Can anyone with Coyote confirm please?
These are coming from Takeout CCA, along with the fan wire and starter lead.

Per the Ford Performance Gen 2 Coyote Control Pack instructions, and my memory, the wires you're picturing here are from the 16-way I/P Pigtail cable. Not the main wiring harness. If those are really in the main harness, then something has changed. i know Ford Performance has made some changes with the later versions of the Control Pack. Later than the Gen 2 version I installed. If that's the case, maybe call the Ford Performance help line. Unless someone else on here has experience with a later version.

You got me to thinkin...I needed the M50A 2017 tech sheet. Those wires I was asking about are intended for Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) and this one does not have the option for A/C.

There you go. Hadn't seen that update, but shows some of the changes I've heard about. Nothing that should affect anything with your build. Just different.

In fact, everything had been identical til the A/C wires were missing. Don’t know why they would omit those, but I hadn’t planned on air conditioning here in the mountains anyway.

Only minor scratches to the frame, but we apparently broke the LS O2 sensor plug. It still works and makes a good connection, so I have it zip tied to stay together. I'm not sure how to go about replacing it.

Transmission Spacers
I made my spacers - three of them out of 1/4" aluminum plate I ordered from Amazon.
Longer bolts were needed and 7/16" -14 by 1.5 inches long worked.

3/4" of lift provided by the spacers seems to align the transmission with the center sect just fine.

Engine Bay Fuel Line Routing
Routing the fuel line in the engine bay
The fuel line for this setup has no return line in the engine bay, and the regulator is back at the fuel tank so this is super easy and clean. As a result, the vacuum line that would go to the fuel regulator is capped at the engine.

Radiator Mounting - Breeze
Radiator installed using Breeze upper and lower mounts. The piano hinge makes setting the correct angle a...well...let's just say it, a breeze.
Breeze fan shroud and radiator stainless hoses:
Because the lower radiator hose was moving around a bit I tapped a bolt into the cross member and added a snug-fit vibration dampening loop clamp from McMaster, part number 3177T59. This also keeps it higher up away from the road.

I mounted the supplied radiator reservoir here. I have to admit I don't know why I've seen this one and a larger one mounted in other build threads, but this is working so far. Maybe it's for additional capacity?

Power steering installed. I love the design of this pump and reservoir! it fits snugly into the engine and saves space over previous designs I've seen and it's easy to install.

The power steering fluid reservoir (if you had that option prior to FFR switching to the current power steering set up) was similar looking but smaller. THat could be what you have seen.
FYI - I, along with many others went with a moroso coolant tank that allows for factory routing of coolant hoses vs the capped lines that FFR instructs.

OBD II Plug and Indicator
I mounted my OBD-II plug vertically to hide it. This photo is looking up from the foot box through the pedal box. The second shows that the plug is still quite accessible and the light can be seen from the driver’s seat with a little bending down.

What do you mean by capped? Mine goes from the radiator pressure cap to the fill pipe in the bottom of the reservoir and then an overflow drain line comes out the bottom.

In stock form there are additional overflow inlets that the FFR tank doesn't accommodate so the instructions have you cap or loop those outlets on the engine. I don't recall anyone having an issue with that route, but many people choose to follow the ford planned routing using an aftermarket tank and hoses. EdwardB details it our pretty nicely:

Did I say minutes? It may have been days, but no real problems here. I blew a few fuses - bought the multi pack!
I learned what a real sports car was watching my dad manipulate the toggles and knobs on a Jaguar XKE in the early 60's. I love switches and knobs! It's probably what drove me to flying. Anyway, my dash is filthy with gauges, switches and knobs and I love it!

Thank you. I have been stumped by that one for some time. Either I missed something, or they don’t tell you that in the Coyote install manual. I guess I should have checked sooner - I ended up fabricating my own.

X2 on the Coyote pedal mount. The other part is intended to mount the Power Distribution Box (PDB). Depends on where you mount it whether you need the bracket or not. The PDB has mounting ears and I've mounted them directly to the firewall without anything additional.
