    Hi Edward,

    Quick FYI that may help. I just put the motor/trans in together for mock up and found that with my T56 mag trans. I had to take the shifter off and the alternator. With the motor coming down at a steep angle I couldn't clear the steering with the trans on it.

    Thanks for the heads up. Actually I did my mock-up with the steering column swung out of the way, and plan to do the same when it goes in for real in the next weeks. The alternator cleared OK then. I'm doing a TKO, a little skinnier than a T56, so I'm expecting it will go in without any issue. My last one did. But I do know the whole transmission is in a slighter different location with a Coyote compared to the SBF from before. Hopefully the shifter will clear OK. If not, easy enough to pop off.
