Reply to "Not For the Faint of Heart - Chassis Mods for a Coyote Engine Installation"

Thanks David! My biggest concern with the chassis was that I would now have torque loading induced into it due to the AWD system. There will be plenty of power there so I wanted to ensure the center section was as stiff as I could make it without adding a massive amount of weight. Now that it is on the rotisserie I will finish welding all of the areas that were awkward from underneath. Also going to add some triangulation in the door area to support the rear chassis upper bars. I will likely add removable door bars as the car is going to be difficult enough to get into and out of without them. From there I need to rebuild the sheet metal for the front and rear firewall and tie in the original bodywork. The floor will likely be carbon fiber sealed to the metal structure.  Engine/trans installation next then it's on to the suspension designing. Once that's done the bodywork will start. After that plumbing, wiring, and painting.
