note the KRC Power Steering KRC 25304000 Aluminium Flow Valve (6AN Male ID - 4) as recommended by many on the forums

Also, the compressor is simple as well- 3 long bolts, but the tricky part is getting that belt attached correctly!
The FFR instructions make you think there's a ton of space behind the crank pulley LOL, nope maybe the belts thickness is all you have!
It's an interesting process using zip ties, and rotating the engine, but it snapped in place!

lastly I'm trying to do some pre-fit on the headers, may as well make sure the bolts are threading properly
mainly because nobody wants to be underneath the engine struggling with bolts more than need be!
I am using the Stage 8 (8914) 1.25" Thread Pitch Bolt Kit for Ford Coyote 5.0 which should make it a one-and-done setup!

I can't fully thread the lower bolts on the stand (no clearance) so maybe will play a bit more once I get it on the engine hoist
I am digging the jet-hot coating though!

Toadster sir, I'm curious about those header bolts you got. Are those significantly better than FFR provided (more like GOING to provide cuz backorder) bolts? Wondering if you saw them recommended from some place. I want to drop my coyote in soon and I'm not gonna let a few bolts hold me up. :P
