Reply to "The good, the bad, the ugly"

I am planning to have this in ASAP Peter but I don't know if it will make next spring. You know me. I cant just plop it in there. The fact that the shop sucks up so much of my free time really slows down progress on my own stuff. The block will be sent off to be sleeved and has some nice forged internals in its future. I also have to sell my original motor to accumulate the necessary funds for the build/swap. I plan to build my own intake manifold and oil pan which will likely involve a hefty amount of CNC work and will take some time. Spinning the bearings did majorly suck as the whole system was working flawlessly and it was going to be a good year but this will allow me to do something that I have wanted to do since the Coyote was unveiled. There will be plenty cutting and rewelding as I plan to sink the engine as low as possible and push it as far forward as I can. I will also have to rework my entire turbo system and layout but once I am done weight and balance should be more favorable than before. Heck, while I am cutting and welding I might as well take care of my rear camber. I toyed around in the garage all day yesterday measuring this and that and getting some ideas on where to go next. The adapter bellhousing is already on the way and the firewall has been marked for cutting. I will likely start cutting this weekend.
