Coyote Questions

[ATOLightning]

I know FFR is working on all the Coyote stuff, but I have a quick question.

There have been some recent threads about multiple items (J-Pipes, Cats, Head clearance to the Driver's Footbox, and Transmission support for the TKO600).

I know you guys are working the exhaust items, but are there any long term solutions for the footbox or Trans A-Frame Support for the TKO600? Before I purchase any extra 4.6L parts (footbax) and modify them, I want to know if there will be any specific Coyote parts coming in the relatively near future.

Thanks

Hi,

Factory Five sells a spacer for the transmission mount to reach the A-frame.
I ended up raising the A-frame by approx 8mm because my driveshat was hitting the 4" round tube beind the tranny, this was at a dip in the race track though so you might not need that for the street.

FFR will actually be selling a kit for Coyote installations, I believe it's just waiting for their cats/J-pipes.

I can e-mail you the install instructions for a Coyote in an FFR if you like, it also has a parts list.

I'm probably the guy who you've seen asking many questions about the install of the Coyote lately. However, after about 3 days of working on the install and fitting, and asking my questions, it's in and the modifications really weren't difficult. My biggest questions were about whether I had messed something up meaning I actually caused the reasons for the modifications. Turns out that it's just a big engine, and modifications are needed. I wouldn't let these deter you from using the Coyote. Now that it is in, it looks great and can't wait to get it started (wiring comes next). The only really issue I see so far is the timing on the J-Pipes/Straight Pipes from FF.

Oh, I'm definately going with the coyote even if I have to make mods as I go. My main question is since I don't have the mod motor kit (4.6 dirver's footbox) yet, I didn't know if FFR was going to make any changes to those panels or anything else.

The Coyote can be installed and run without any mods to the foot box. These mods are a choice - not a necessity. You can use racing shoes and get by without modifying the gas pedal area. These are not difficult and once completed are very satisfying. I suspect this is a very low priority for FFR (if on their list) as it is not a requirement for the install - personal choice.

Once you get the engine in place (test fit with no clutch or trans but with headers on) you can decide for your self if you want to modify the footbox. This is a weekend project that takes a little additional planning and effort. No big deal. I used Hammink's photo for reference but made slightly different mods - not 2 mods will be the same.

Remember - there is nothing that you can do that can't be redone if you do not like the result. Mainly your time - That
is the beauty of these builds.

Go for it - good luck

Sounds good. I was worried about head clearance since it looked like people had some issues there, but I don't think it would be hard to take care of that and adding the foot-room at the same time.
