great video! pretty innovative! it's a tight spot! also you can remove the CMCV valves which saves about 5 inches of space on the back of the Coyote!

It's one thing to remove stuff on your own car, quite different when you're building a customer car. I am sure the link you shared can and will help someone building their own Factory Five Roadster. Thank you.

Nice build!! Another benefit of the firewall is that it's .090 thick, more than twice the thickness of the stock piece. It's super rigid and won't flex if you bolt things to it, like a mechanical throttle linkage.
BTW, the firewall forward comes from FFmetal.com (http://www.ffmetal.com/#fwfw). I have them in stock and ready to ship.

I was able to install the vintageair heater, glove box (ffr vinyl dash), and wiper motor with minimal modification of the ffmetal firewall forward. Just pushed the heater into the engine bay about 1.5". Also have a Gen3 coyote with everything in tact.
