Coyote install- where to attach hooks?

[ChrisNicholls]

Hi,

Got my new Gen 3 Coyote and about to install it into my Coupe.
I have this engine hook mechanism (below), but where should it attach?
Does it attach to the same place where the engine is attached to the cradle for shipping (also below)?
I don't want to drop it!

You need to either buy or make brackets off the two mount locations. See photos

Thank you, very clearly indicated in your photos!

I'll have to figure out the bolt size.

Wish me luck.

Bolt size is M14 on the Gen 2...I would assume it didn't change on Gen 3 but you won't know until you try it. I bought these M14x45 bolts from AMAZON (https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-M14x45mm-Serrated-Flange-Carbon/dp/B0B1433XF9/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DE15VRSUMZ6R&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wsCnUSQXnnj0kQpM8vvOJKAApSbOuORq-uTMuCtf1DDAmbxJgThWTdygOt6ZjZiXXNr5ZDCIySPmjNgvz6p qUC6932djgLj-VsfS57C1uHozNUjK6e_hCSbWekvxakbnxG1EPX9BISYrMyoOMr-JEUOndoeZY9Mhqw0NoIPvCQLL82IBc3Kuw9ax7bMOzKq1yhDid lOCz3n-fsJ2hNVgIjz-YJUX9dtpD0yQA1KjAP8.LQ1xBhMyT1kAIE80MFP_8X62nmzPk0 mo2lFn5rVgXTg&dib_tag=se&keywords=uxcell+M14x45&qid=1715369187&sprefix=uxcell+m14x45%2Caps%2C86&sr=8-1) and they worked, but fair warning - one of the bolts gets trapped by the header tube, at least on the Roadster install. Not sure if it is different for the Coupe. Due to the length of the bolt I couldn't back it out to get the bracket off. I ended up having to cut the bolt with an oscillating multi-tool but the angle was weird and I ended up burning through 2 of the bits which cost me about $35 :( So shorten that bolt by at least 20mm before you install it.

I used these brackets to lift my Gen2 Coyote. The brackets come with the correct mounting bolts.

They could be an issue on the PS rear attachment point depending on your firewall clearance. My application is a 70 Mustang, a different animal.

Chris,
I used the same brackets as you but I did some bending on each of them to make them fit a little tighter to the engine. Not much extra room at those spots.
Good luck!

Or make your life easier and just get one of these.

You have to take the intake off, but that takes all of 20 minutes. Makes Coyote installs a LOT easier!
