Steve, can you send me one of the coyote motors if you're not using both? :)

What's that vertical tube in your cockpit coming from the trans tunnel?

Forgive the ignorance and I've seen them alot in pictures, but what are the latches on the outside of the bottom of the trunk, is that just to keep the trunk secure?

yes, hard to get the key in and get the trunk unlocked in the pits. Some series have the fuel filler inside the trunk so it has to be opened to fuel the car. If not it's just to keep the trunk lid down.

well, the engine and trans are in. I have it to where it will hit on starting fluid so the ford racing kit works and is pretty nice. right now I'm wiring it into a stock 07 gt body harness so we can get headlights , tailights, wipers. etc etc .

BAD ASS!

Is that a 3650 or a MT82? If 3650, any special mods required to mate it to the 5.0?

Ah, ok! You using the FRPP control pack to wire it all? Obviously this is a racer so no worries about the lack of A/C. Your client going to run a manual steering rack, or are you guys gonna figure out a way to rig a P/S pump?

yes, using the frpp control pack , yup no ac . we are making a bracket for the ps pump and bolting in place of a ac compressor.

Ford is working on a ps pump system but says it will be 60 days or so .

plan is to use a 05/10 ps pump and rack .
