DOHC Coupe build

Rate this Entry
What I would like to do is put together a "build blog" by slowly putting in topics, along with pics and commentary that shows the process I took along the way. And then organize this in a logical and numbered build sequence, hopefully answering some common build questions. I think these types of blogs could be a great way for members to build this site with useful build info and personal modification ideas.
The "DOHC COUPE BUILD" would be my opening title page.
At this time Factory Five does not support the 4.6L Modular motor in a Coupe, but with
Some modifications it can be done. The only two concerns are the width of the motor and the lack of 4.6L Coupe exhaust.
1. To solve the exhaust issue you can get a custom exhaust made up or simply opt for Factory Five’s ROADSTER Headers and Side pipes like I did.
2.a To solve motor width issue on the driver side all you need is 2 pieces of Factory Five Aluminum FFR#14718 LH 4.6L INNER WALL and FFR#14719 4.6L INNER WALL TOP.
2.bSo the Pass side was the only side I really had to modify and in doing so I also dropped the floor. So while cramping up the foot space in favor of the motor nothing was done that effected length other than increasing it by dropping the pass side floor.

3. One more thing you will need is a new shallower oil pan, and I would recommend the Champ pan sold by Richard Oben of NorthRacecars
