Getting the Coyote ready to run is a a bit of a challenge. That figures, because I haven't done anything the usual way! I'm using the FFR instructions for installing Gen 2 Coyote in a roadster as a guide. But I have a Gen 2 Type 65 coupe, not a roadster ... and I'm using an engine from a Mustang, not a crate motor ... and I'm using rocker switches, not an ignition switch ... and ... well, nothing is "usual"! .
I'm not begging for sympathy. It's all self-inflicted!
Wiring is done. Just needs a double-check before I do some testing and connect up the battery.
Intake system is in the works. Running it to the left with the 90* Scepter tube might work well on the roadster but on the coupe it will run into the splash guards. I have a 110* on order and I plan to run the intake straight down behind the X brace. I have parts on the way from JLT Performance that should give me the PCV and CMCV connections.
For the cooling system the upper and lower hoses provided with the Coyote Control Pack are a good start. I have some planning to do. I think I'll follow the lead of EdwardB's anniversary roadster build and try to use the Ford cooling system design.
The fuel system should be pretty straightforward. Earlier I ran hard lines from the fuel tank to the bottom of the firewall. I'll extend them up the firewall and transition to AN -6 to the fuel regulator and onward to the fuel rail.
Lots more to do. First Start can't come too soon!
