The good, the bad, the ugly

Well, after a winter of sorting little issues I put the motor back in #6214 to finally enjoy a bit of racing and was looking forward to some cruising with Peter at the end of summer. Long story short I would up with 2 spun main bearings due to fuel dilution in the oil. The motor came back out and is currently at the machine shop getting all fancied back up. While all of this was going on I realized I had too many projects on the go. The Meteor has been a great car but I simply do not have time to get it to the level I want. This left me in a quandry as to what I was going to do with #6214. I have far too much blood, sweat, tears into it to even think of getting rid of it so I decided the Meteor had to go. The car itself isn't worth a whole bunch but it did have a 2011 Coyote crate motor in it with about 2000 miles on it. Don't get me wrong, I love my 412CI Windsor but even at the power levels it was at it was nothing compared to the enjoyment I got out of playing with the Coyote. This brought me to my current plan. I am sure you see where this is going but I have decided to put the things I loved about both cars into one. The Coyote is going into #6214. Most everything will be staying the same otherwise. I am keeping the turbo setup but will be upgrading the Coyote to handle the boost levels I will be shooting for. My SVO motor will be put up for sale as well once the repairs are done. I plan to document the entire process and will share whatever information I can. Wish me luck.
