Glad to see you made it over here, I'm liking my coyote so far, still trying to finalize my exhaust.

Looks like you are making good progress. I am curious about the firewall though. What was the reason for pushing it out so far to the core support and are you going to be able to get fluids into the master cylinder and get the lid back on?

I am hating my coyote right now, but they do make some great power.

:thup: keep the updates coming and have fun at lights out those events are getting so crazy.

We set the coyote in without having to fabricate mounts. With all the time we ended up with in the firewall , maybe would have moved the engine back if had to do it all over again. But in any case, we used the room to push the AC unit in and up under the dash and mount the computer and trans control. Yes, can fill the master cylinder.

What's causing you issues with yours?
