Great progress again Tyler. :thumbsup:

Is the plan to drive it to Columbus GG this year?

Hopefully shift knobs too!:lol:

Thanks Wayne! I think the fans are going to work out pretty good!

Lol. I think that's from a tractor. Just trying to find a decent location

Tyler,

Just be careful not to let school get in the way of finishing this car in a timely fashion.



:lol:

Lol dont worry! the plan is to finish up the intake and final wire position, finish the radiator hoses, and tidy up odds and ends. Then real soon it will be going by a friends shop where he will work on the bumpers and under the hood stuff :_paranoid :D. Then we will measure for our Ricks stainless tank and order it up. Following that we will bend up the exhaust and put body on rotisserie and blast it.

that motor just looks right at home in that motor bay.keep up the great wotk and it will be on the road in no time.

I agree with Eric the motor looks sweet in there.

All the Henry's would be proud...and Edsel too! :D

Thanks guys! with all of these people installing coyotes we are going to make ours just a little bit different! :cool:

Agree:thumbsup:
Agree:hail:
Agree:D

Looking good buddy! She's coming along quickly.

Thanks guys! She is coming along quite fast. The weather is beautiful right now and we can work with the doors open. It will slow down a bit but we want to make it right and get a few test miles on before columbus next year!

Ordered a 90 degree coupler for the air intake and a filter from Anderson Ford Motorsports today. We are going to have to make the tube from the 90 to the filter and weld in a bung for the MAF sensor.

Other than that we have been tinkering with a few things and still finishing up the hoses for the radiator. Also notched the transmission cross member for the exhaust. We picked up some exhaust tubing and ordered the magnaflow mufflers this week also.

I will get some updated pictures later this week.


:thumbsup:

Anderson Ford Motorsports 8" Filter. Very impressed with the construction of the filter

The 90 elbow came too. it is a 4" - 3.5" reduced elbow and it fits a little loose on the thottle body so we are either going to have to exchange it for a 3.5" - 3.5" or run a reducer to make it work. We have to pick up a aluminum 3.5" pipe and weld a bung into it for for the MAF sensor yet. Other than that we have been working on a few little things like aluminum body spacers and finished the radiator hoses and they turned out really nice.


I will post more pictures tomorrow :cheers: :lateral:

Agreed on the air filter Tyler...everything else lookin good as well. :thumbsup:

After those other items you mentioned are finished, what's next?

The car is going by a friends shop to have the bumpers tucked and modified.




D Hooks for when transporting so you dont have to wrap the strap around the rear end. All you have to do is reach under and put the hook in there. They are stainless so no rust.

Its all looking great.

^^What Wayne said.
I love the welded on strap holders! Great idea.

Thanks Wayne!

Thanks! Little something that picked up on thats done at Rad Rides by Troy. I talked to troy and asked if we could buy a set because we couldnt find anything similar and we bought a set. We have 2 to weld on the front yet also :thumbsup:

Nice touches. It just keeps getting better.

Thanks!

Thanks Gus!

We moved the seats in about an 1" each side

Looking good Tyler.

Modified the harness so we can tuck the wires away on the back side of the motor

The computer will be tucked away in the passenger fender and will never be seen when we make new inner fender panels

http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...wmo8/087-1.jpg

Pretty slick. :thumbsup: Are you going to have an access panel for the diagnostic port on the PCM?

We sure are! We were thinking of putting the pcm under the dash but i think this will work out better.

Nice to see some progress. That looks like a nice place for the ECU.

Thanks Wayne! Progress has been slower but we have been picking up parts in the meantime. Picked up a red top optima, some magnaflow mufflers, and some 2.5" stainless exhaust tubing. Also have been playing with different intake setups and we are going to start machining a mass airflow sensor housing.

Took it off of the rack again

:thumbsup:

Looks awesome. Is there much more to go?

lots to go. Hoping to be done this time next year. The body is going back down to bare metal to start over again! :thumbsup:

amazing car
 

Why did you use a Ford motor and not a LS just wondering?

Simple - Fords should have Ford Engines

Looks great Tyler , see you in a few weeks

Thanks Man! :thumbsup:

How's the progress going Tyler?:unibrow:

Progress is slower.

Just took it to our friends shop to have the exhaust done and a few other things.

Progress may be slow but even on the trailer the car and stance look sick:thumbsup:

Thanks! I have been trying not to post a lot of pictures since it looks like its almost done. The car is still going to be taken down to bare metal and repainted. :thumbsup:

That car does look good, even sitting on the trailer.
