Stock Coyote headers don't work in 2wd 73-79s with stock steering. On 4x4s, the steering box is very far forward, allowing the stock headers. But then the motor mounts are completely different.
Robert Phillips Thanks for the replay Robert, I'm building a 67 with a Vic front end and Kyle Howard's relocation mounts and motor mounts. I've since found out the stock headers work ( so I've been told )
@@FatFenderGarage Now that you mention that, I remember that being a problem. I'm inheriting my dad's truck, and it needs a new engine. The Coyote swap seems just about perfect for what I want, but it looks like it'll be quite a bit of work.
@@FatFenderGarage 4x4 Frame is same width front to back (34"). 2WD frames get wide after the back of the cab, so theoretically, the frame width at the back of the transmission should be same for 2wd and 4wd. The stock frame crossmembers are all in different locations though.
Remember when my 80 ford ranger 3o2 went boom Picked on up another with my last dollar from a hotrod Chevy! guy that had an uncle with a ford truck that died but had a good motor with 79m miles Long story short The 79 and 80 cross Member and front end geometry differed which required the oil pan sump // low end of pan switched from front to back. Therefore, the older motor would not fit as that sump was forward Hindsight : was obvious if side by side but never owning a ford truck and the short time before motor blew and not pulling motor until I purchased another ... well, you get the idea... Nice.

What headers are y'all using with the Coyote swap on the F100's.... stock Coyote headers or aftermarket?
Ronnie Smith we use the stock headers most of the time. When we can’t, we make our own.
We use stock headers on the 67-72. We make the headers for the 73-79
Stock Coyote headers don't work in 2wd 73-79s with stock steering. On 4x4s, the steering box is very far forward, allowing the stock headers. But then the motor mounts are completely different.

With your kid how much fabrication do you have to do cutting and removing wise
Robert Brading none
do you have a kit to install coyote motor to CV IFS?
James Ratcliff cv ifs from modular motor cv hav the mounts needed for coyote
Do you make mount for a 83 f150
Would this kit require any modifications for a 73 F250 highboy?
Adam Hopper the highboy is narrower. If I recall, so wouldn’t work precisely. I need to get a highboy in to make sure

do you sell the transmission crossmember alone
We can.
How much just for the transmission crossmember
can't get to your website for some reason.
It's undergoing a lot of construction right now. We should have it up and running again soon.
@@FatFenderGarage cool. interesting stuff
@@FatFenderGarage I'll trade you a Coyote swap into my 1978 F150 4X4 Short-bed for a new site that works, SEO, and maintenance ;) !
Cant your website to work...
We're working on it. It's undergoing a lot of construction right now.
That's what I need to do with my truck...

Nice.
your website needs some serious work.
We're aware. It's currently under mass reconstruction.
