    Slow and Slightly Angry's Type 65 Coupe Build

    A few months back I turned to the fantastic citizens of this forum for a little help on what to include in my build sheet for my coupe. After some careful negotiation with the wife, I finally placed my order, and man am I excited. My build sheet as follows:

    Complete Kit
    Powder coating chassis
    Coupe platinum gauges
    Coyote engine/trans mount
    Coyote full length headers w/Cats w/kit
    Hydraulic clutch master cylinder kit
    31 spline 2015 IRS 9.75” driveshaft – will not be using
    Body cut-outs
    Lowback race seats
    Coupe 2015 IRS
    Coyote A/C Kit
    Wipers
    Leather steering wheel
    Side windows
    Coupe nose scoops
    EFI in-tank fuel system
    Coyote Installation

    I am not sold on the EFI kit (I will have to research the supercharger required flows). Is this the best one for the application? What is everyone else doing?
    For the exhaust, are the cats required to get the coyote to run its best with the sensors/control pack?

    I was reading up on the coyote install for the roadster and they require the moroso oil pan and pick up. Is this required?
    Is a filter re-locator required?

    My donor is a side/rear wrecked 2016 Mustang GT (coyote) w/Roush supercharger to use the engine and rear end.
    I purchased the MT82 shifter kit from Forma Cars to use with the stock 6 speed.
    I know there will some heavy engineering needed along the way to get everything to fit and more importantly work.

    I am starting this project to build with my father (a former mechanic, albeit 40 some years ago), my sons (4 yo and 11 mo old - not sure there will be much wrench turning for them just yet), and anyone else willing along the way. This is a long term project with not deadlines. Hopefully, in the end, we have a well sorted Type 65 coupe example.

    I appreciate any feedback about the choices and what worked/what did not for your builds.
