Yes, I too was surprised to find the sump full of oil 😄 A rotary burr with a die grinder should be able to sort out the excess aluminium to give clearance for the transaxle without removing the engine, just cover the engine to keep the swarf out.

@BuiltbyDan 2 года назад

Thanks for the suggestion Peter. Was thinking along similar lines but think I'll remove the adapter plate just to give myself a bit of space.

@carlmclelland7624 2 года назад

DAN, mark with a Sharpie where you need to trim that left rear mounting tab, and any other modifications you've detected, and pull the engine. Reverse the intake, install the new - correct oil pan, do everything you think you need to do on the engine, and then mate the engine and gearbox for the next fit. I always mated the adapter and gearbox to a bare block to test fit/fabricate/modify and set the entire drivetrain, before I tried installing a complete engine. I'll send you an email..., there's too many individual things to write in the comment section. (You amazed me that you got the engine as far as you did with the oil pan in place).

@BuiltbyDan 2 года назад

Appreciate the advice, as always Carl. I'll keep an eye out for your email. Whilst I didn't film it, I did test fit the adapter plate to the transaxle prior to fitting the adapter to the engine, so I know both components bolt up to the adapter plate, will just be a matter of clearancing the chassis to get the transaxle to sit where it needs to.

@mbshaw1 Год назад

Hi Dan, I couldn't help wincing as I watched you lower the motor in for the first time, I put a gen 1 in my GT Racing chassis. On the gen 1 the inlet plenum turns through 180 with minimal assistance from a dremel but I I'm not sure it's so easy on the later engines. I had to build a new oil pan to suit because the original is way to deep for ground clearance. I read someone else's comment about vendors trying out their stuff before they sell it and can confirm that you will buy lots of stuff that the seller will tell you "fit's straight on", you'll throw it away and design your own. You have incorrectly titled your video as a kit car build, you will likely by now be learning that there is not much kit about this build, it will take you way longer than you anticipated but stick with it, the rewards are phenomenal. I often found the best way to solve a problem was tea, tea will give you the time you need to think things through. Good luck.

Great video Dan. It's nice to watch a genuine live build with some interesting problems. I'm sure your learning that most problems are overcome by spending more money but it's so annoying when the fixings supplied is not appropriate for the job in hand. Chin up mate every stage is a challenge. Take care & stay safe 👍🇬🇧🍀

Congratulations. I'm sure it is very satisfying to reach the milestone of test fitting the engine. Long ways to go, but I know you've got this. You're doing a great job.

@BKMDano17 2 года назад

Personally I would have went old school. I would have taken a 302 shorten the stroke, went with a completely forged rotating assembly new heads and went for torque lots of torque. Because the car is so light that is why. These cars were screamers back then and you can make them that way now. I've seen a lot of guys put these coyotes in cobras and I'm not sure if I would do that. Well I'm not doing that I'm putting a 460 in my Cobra so I guess that's just as ridiculous but anyway I can see you're having fun and that's the point!

@adampatterson9650 2 года назад

Good job so far, use a grinder to clearance the transaxle with engine in situ, with a template. Getting the engine in and out is usually done with transaxle mounted which means the engine tilts backwards not forwards this allows it to swing at same angle as bulkhead slope. Might make it easier. Awesome work so far. It looks well. Thought about building an aluminium bodied replica from scratch myself.

@BuiltbyDan 2 года назад

Thanks Adam, appreciate the suggestion. Will give that a go next time.

@peterburdett8131 2 года назад

Big Milestone Dan. All other builds both in Oz & US are suffering from parts supply so you have to wait for the next stage. The Coyote is a monster but that’s what I’d use as well. Where’s that lovely wife of yours when you need another set of eyes & hands to fit the engine?

Well done sir on choosing the Coyote engine! 🤩👊 I would have done the same

@phillipward937 2 года назад

just an idea, Al from the Skid Factory used a damp-sump oil system on his BBC Crown project. It gave him lots of room under the car. while a Damp-sump isn't nearly as complicated as a Dry-sump it will still beat a wet-sump when it comes to rounding tight corners on a track day. as far as your adapter plate goes just torque the m10 bolts to 45 ft lbs and use blue locktite you shouldn't need lock washers. GM doesn't use lock washers on transmission to bell housing bolts, on their 4L65, I only use blue locktite because I'm a scaredy cat.

I know you can’t test fit the trans axle gearbox yet but measure it up from where the engine is now incase the driveshafts sit at a very bad angle before you make adjustments

@BuiltbyDan 2 года назад

Thanks for the suggestion. Just wrapped up filming the next episode and I have suspended the transaxle about 20mm above where it needs to sit to check for any other clearance issues and look at driveshaft angles, all looks good, in regards to driveshaft angle anyway!

@Ianduncanqld1 2 года назад

@scotth7686 2 года назад

Regarding the coolant fitting and firewall interference. Another common solution is to remove the fitting, cut it, rotate it and weld it in an orientation that works better. Been done a million times.

@hillarylevenworth8824 2 года назад

Most mid-engined racers have a myriad of bumps and bulges on the bulkhead for mechanical clearance.

@kululv Год назад

Congratulations! Cool video, thanks. that Mustang flywheel is a monster anyway, so hopefully, you get a much lighter one! I was surprised that you even tried to lift the motor in with the oil pan and intake manifold installed. Why is it that you can't just reverse the original manifold? I would try. Also, give a little extra clearance around that front left trans mount because it can move in that bushing and hit and vibrate against the chassis! I would like to know what model number your Ryobi impact wrench is, it looks really big, bigger than the one I have. Btw: I think it's cool, that you stick with the good Ryobi tools instead of showing off Milwaukee or whatever! I still use some I bought practically 20 years ago and my batteries last 3-5 years and are still cheaper than the competition!

@BuiltbyDan Год назад

Reason for not using the Gen 3 intake is the big vacuum pumps for the CMCV would clash with the top tube of the rear firewall. due to other engine fittings and the shape of the underside of the intake, it also needs a spacer of approximately 16mm (from memory), which raised the intake and exaggerates the issue above. Front left trans mount has now been trimmed to provide more clearance. I've not had any issues with my Ryobi tools - at the end of the day, I'm just a DIYer, I don't required 'trade quality' tools for what I am doing. I'll have to get back to you on the model number!

@BuiltbyDan Год назад

My Ryobi impact wrench is model number RIWH18X.

@grahamreid827 2 года назад

Great build, shoe horn required for the engine fitting, but why not use up all the available space with engine, thats what the GT40 was all about. Surely the adapter plate manufacturer had a flywheel in mind when he designed the plate?

@BuiltbyDan 2 года назад

Not sure that I'd be making the same assumption...

@comfort_in_discomfort 2 года назад

In the future videos, will you provide an update on specifically how the response was from the manufacturers? I don't know if I should be surprised, but generally, there are more than a few "oops" items that you've had to deal with that should have been taken care of. Great work.

Would it have been easier to tilt the engine the other way? I think that would help clear the shock towers and the front of the engine would be less likely to hit the bulkhead.

@otallono 2 года назад

yes but if you ask for help you don't have the satisfaction of saying you did it yourself. Besides, I've used a cheap harbor freight hoist to take a v8 connected to transaxle in and out of my kit car a thousand times myself, on rough concrete. Building something that requires pulling an engine in and out contantly, you're not going to always have a helper around. It's not like you have to lay underneath it and a helper isn't going to really be able do much but get in the way anyway..

@kinikinrd 5 месяцев назад

Thats possible... I thought it might have been for Windsor and porsche transaxle, hence why the larger coyote and graziano transaxle take a bit to squeeze in.

@greybeard2324 2 года назад

is the engine x member in the chassis going to be a problem?maybe why the other oil pan was around the other way.

@BuiltbyDan 2 года назад

It's definitely awkward, but hoping once I have the low profile oil pan on there it will fit in fine, otherwise will need to crane engine in without it, and then try and fit the oil pan before lowering into final position... not ideal, especially if it needs to come out again at any time in the future.
