Question, anyone see this fitment issue yet on the passenger side motor mount for the 2015 gen 2 coyote? I just dropped the motor and trans (T56 mag) in for mock up and ran into this issue where the alignment pin and bolt stud are resting against the motor plate. The weight of the motor is actually resting on the side of the alignment pin and the bolt stud. I have the driver side spacer on the motor mounts per FFR's instructions and that side fits perfectly. I've lifted and adjusted the motor side to side trying to get it to sit down but no luck. It almost seams like I need another similar spacer on the passenger side. The PS of the motor is a little low (by about 1/4" or so) and I think a similar spacer on the PS would lift and raise the motor mount into the right spot. Trans is free and clear to move up/down/side to side so no issues there.

Am I missing something? Does the motor mount adjust?

I had to use the FF spacer on both sides.

Am running two 3/8" spacers from Whitby, one on each side. You sure you have the left mount on the left side & right to right?

I ran into this just last week. The passenger side oil pan also hangs below the 4" tube without the spacer. I'm looking for a second FFR spacer for the top of the mounts or will Fab the spacers for bottom of the mounts.

Two of the Whitby spacers here as well, so didn't experience the interference. Initial mock-up looked OK, with the engine level and the pan right at the bottom of the chassis tubes. It's not 100% clear to me why FF is showing only using one spacer for a Coyote installation. Maybe it's to tip the engine away from the already very tight DS footbox? I have the 2bking modded sheet metal. With the engine level, the Coyote clears the DS footbox OK.

Update: Spoke with FFR and they said specifically to not use a spacer on the passenger side as it will cause the motor to be in crooked. They said it will fit as long as you pull the motor mount into place with the stud nut. I took a little different approach and was able to get it to fit. I first lifted the motor up about 3/4" then used the stud nut to walk it into place on the passenger side. When I lowered the engine back down the driver side fell right into place. All set.
