Coyotes are quiet anyway if that's what you are going to be running. Engine type and specs are generally the determining factor as far as noise level. All things being equal I think the sound level is pretty similar between the J and 4X4 since they're going through the same muffler either way.

First, obtain a T3650 from 2005-2009 Mustang GT. Getting the shifter linkage with it is very helpful.

Upon purchase, you'll want to install a new slave cylinder. Get one from Ford, or get a Dorman from rockauto. Any other brands are prone to leaking. Installation is 2 bolts.

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/FinlayZJ/Factory%20Five%20Roadster/DSC_0942_zpseec38238.jpg[/IMG]

Next, you'll want a clutch. I'd recommend an Exedy or Valeo if you want a single disc with stock like effort. If your pockets are deeper, there are plenty of fantastic dual discs out there. Before you mount the clutch, you'll want to check to see if your slave needs a shim.

How to measure: [url]http://www.ramclutches.com/Instructions/FACTORYBEARINGPOSITION1010.pdf[/url]

Shim or don't shim as needed, and install the clutch:

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/FinlayZJ/Factory%20Five%20Roadster/DSC_0940_zpsccde765c.jpg[/IMG]

With the clutch installed, you need to support the trans. You can use the FF provided cross member, you'll just need to drill out some holes for the Ford trans mount. Order one 7, one 8, and two 9's from Ford:

You'll need a slip driveshaft made. I had one made by a local shop for under $400. The bolts on the 8.8 flange are the same as the 3650 flange. The 3650 flange is a larger diameter though, so the driveshaft will have different ends. Bolts needed (you need 8 bolts total):

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/FinlayZJ/Factory%20Five%20Roadster/DSC_0018-1.jpg[/IMG]

The shifter will need some work. The B&M for 05-09 Mustang GT uses pivot mount that is easy to mount on a plate. I bought some 3/16 steel plate and cut a hole for the shifter to drop through then mounted it to the trans rails:

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/FinlayZJ/Factory%20Five%20Roadster/photobucket-10723-1343593733576.jpg[/IMG]

To reduce the height of the shifter, I just used a die to cut the threads all the way down the stalk. The thread is M12x1.25. Pick your shifter ball.

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/FinlayZJ/Factory%20Five%20Roadster/photobucket-4604-1343593716971.jpg[/IMG]

The shifter works the same as the stock Mustang, only the linkage goes forward over the trans, instead of back of the trans.

Now, to the clutch. I used the stock pieces and bought a new braided line. The braided line includes the special fittings to fit the trans and the Ford master cylinder. The part is:

[QUOTE=BluePrintEngines;222071]Hey Orangehat

I was reading your post here with some enthusiasm because how you wanted a near daily driver Type 65 Coupe. That is so cool!!

Having built several old cars with and without carpeted interiors, I did have some ideas for heat and sound reduction in the car.

First, on heat reduction. Heat and sound reduction can be accomplished by using material like Dynomat, and other similar brands, throughout the interior of the car along with carpet. Not only would you want it on the firewall and floor, but put Dynomat in the doors and in the rear cargo area as road noise will come through both. Having it on the roof inside will reduce heat from the sun. Like others have said, tinting that big back window will reduce green house heat inside the car as well.

Getting fresh air in the car will help as well even if you are not running A/C. These cars have the footwell areas on either side of the transmission and the back of the engine which allows heat soak into the interior. In the old days of sports cars, like the Jaguar XK150's and XKE's, they installed cowl vents on the sides of the car to get cool outside air in there to keep your feet from melting. The old 1950's MGA didn't have this, and even in winter, your feet got warm. If there is an option for this, I would highly recommend it.

Under the hood, Ceramic coated headers and even wrapped headers will reduce the heat transfer to the body panels and the interior. The pictures posted earlier of the heat shielding on the engine side of the firewall will also help as well. Ceramic coated headers also reduce exhaust noise under the hood.

To reduce sound, something that hasn't been mentioned is how the engine is built. High compression and big camshafts will create louder exhaust note. Keeping compression to 9:1 and reducing the valve overlap in the camshaft timing will actually make the engine much quieter. You won't have the big, lumpity exhaust note, but compromises may be necessary for comfort and quiet. Keeping the duration at .050 below 230 and the lobe separation angle in 112-114* range will make the engine run smoother and quieter. Go bigger on the cubic inch to keep the power up.

FF Challenge is dead in my area as well so I'm looking at ST3 or 4 so that I won't be winning a class of 1. I didn't change a thing on the car last year and just did some events for me and the car to get to know each other. So my question today is where to go with the car. Brakes are a must and got with Levy racing on that. What's next to make this old car competitive? Wheels and tires or do you guys find the little 17s good? They seem heavy and narrow to me. Specific suspension mods? I've heard rear sway. I didn't notice a ton of roll in the car without it but if the conventional wisdom here is to add it I will.[/QUOTE]

The 2012+ FFR rules allows for 13" front rotor/PBR caliper from 1998 mustang cobra, I would upgrade to those brakes. They are great brakes, leave the rear brakes alone. Factory Five sells an upgrade kit FFR#15415 that upgrades the spindles, SAI kit, and front swaybar changing the front end geometry to add a lot more grip in the front. You should definitely do that before you do anything else. I think that is the best bang for the buck with stock power levels.

Was watching some of the video from yesterday and got to thinking about driveshaft alignment being critical. Could you guys comment on how things differ with IRS and Live axles. From a quick glance it appears you should see almost no movement with IRS so why isn't it just a direct connect?

Secondly I always heard that there needed to be a small matching angle at both ends for a live axle but it doesn't look like the IRS has any adjustability. So how do you set the proper angles with IRS?[/QUOTE] ]]> R Thomas https://v1.thefactoryfiveforum.com/entry.php?1204-Gen-3-FFR-48-Type-65-Coupe-R-Build https://v1.thefactoryfiveforum.com/entry.php?1203-Gen-3-FFR-48-Type-65-Coupe-R-Build Sun, 25 Dec 2016 21:35:12 GMT ---Quote (Originally by johngeorge)--- Jim @ FFR sent me these pics of the R frame mods.

finally bolting new frame to the rotisserie so Jon can spin the frame upside down to finish weld all the tubes.

Jim worked with FFR body shaper John C. to make a type65 coupe splitter for the R coupes. It looks awesome and cant wait to see it fully assembled to the bottom splitter (same bottom splitter as the 818R uses.) This will be sold by Factory Five Racing!

Jim also designed and laser cut brackets to mount the giant Wilwood 6-piston calipers to the 2015 IRS spindle. Minor alteration of the stock spindle are required to make this setup work.

I have been racing the old FFR#48 Challenge Car for the past 11 years, and decided its time to switch it up and try my hand at racing a Type 65 Coupe. The aero advantages and frame stiffness the Type 65 Coupe offers sold me on the switch-o-rooney. So, I sold FFR#48 Challenge Car as a rolling chassis, kept all of the important stuff like engine, dry sump, trans, ecu, data logger, wing, and fuel cell which will go into the new build.

Mark Dougherty, Brendan Dougherty and I are building up the Gen3 Type 65 Coupe R starting in December near Hershey, PA, and will be race ready for the start of the 2017 NASA North East racing season (March/April timeframe.) We will also compete at the Grassroots Magazine’s Ultimate Track Car Challenge @ Virginia International Raceway May 2017.

The car will be classed in NASA ST2, weight/power of 8.00:1, equating to 333rwhp@2600lb with me in it (after all the adds/deductions per rules), 245/40/17 Hoosier A7 DOT tires, and will have aero, front splitter, and rear wing.

Stay tuned for a ton of build pictures, and updates! Cant wait to get started! so excited! cant you tell! :)

The power steering that Im using did have issues though, not sure why and I changed both pump and steering rack with no change. Random turns I would loose power steering, then it came back randomly. Very hard to drive a race like that. Unfortuantely when the car was in the pits power steering had no issues, just on track at full speed. Ill have to research this further.

I also had low oil pressure under braking and in high-g turns. I tried adding an additional quard (9 in total) and same effect. So, I've purchased the big accusump (3qt 22" x 4.25" round) along with their 35-40psi electric solonoid valve and will plumb that in hoping to resolve my oiling issues.[/QUOTE] ]]> R Thomas https://v1.thefactoryfiveforum.com/entry.php?1187-F150-Coyote-in-FFR-48-NASA-ST2 https://v1.thefactoryfiveforum.com/entry.php?1181-Front-wheel-sticks-out-of-body-adjust-control-arms Sat, 12 Sep 2015 14:44:04 GMT ---Quote (Originally by Jeff Kleiner)--- The inner set of LCA mounting holes are for donor arms.

I can not tell for sure from your photos whether you have 1994/1995 spindles or 1996 and later versions. The 1996 and later ones set the tire and wheel approximately 3/8" farther outward than '94/'95 and can be identified by their straight steering arm vs. the dogleg arm as shown here:

[IMG]http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/attachments/94-95vs96-98spindle-jpg.202337/[/IMG]

Even the 255 or 245 tire on a 9" wheel can wind up past the body with the wider '96 spindles. As Gordon said 275s don't fit well in either case.

As an aside I see that you have Bilstein coilovers. There was a problem with them failing and an upgrade was instituted. Check the diameter of the shafts---if they are 11 mm the upgrade has not been done and if 14 mm it has been. If not you need to send them to Bilstein for the rework. Let me know if you need the info on how to do so.

I've used it on all of the cars I have built and vote "yes". Do yourself a favor and couple it with a Breeze shroud:

IMO there are better options for overflow, hoses, etc. than what is included in the $450 kit.
