Installing the Aluminator for mock up.

Some comments: (1) That DI pump is easy remove if needed to get the engine in and out. All the fitting and mounting bolts are straightforward. (2) I wouldn't put the PCM under the frame rails in the vicinity of the headers. Ford Performance specifically recommended against that when I did mine. That was one of your possible locations. (3) I'd HIGHLY recommend installing or at least mocking up the heat/A-C setup before deciding locations for the Coyote pieces. The Factory Five supplied evaporator only fits in exactly the location they describe. Fit everything around that. Including hoses, ducts, etc. (4) Whatever location you decide for the PCM, it does need to be removable. If it ever needs to be reflashed (mine did) it has to go back to Ford. (5) Finally, yes you need those engine mount spacers from Factory Five. I think you're going to find it challenging to unlace that big harness with all the connections it has to the engine. But I'll be watching to see how it goes. Good luck.

More of a question than a comment. Been following you as I'm waiting for my kit to arrive and I have a Ford 460 stroked out to a 515 where everything's aluminum except the block. This gets the weight down to about a 351. My question is will it fit and how much grief am I signing myself up for using it? Watching this video I know the coyotes are pretty wide themselves so maybe it could be tight. Also when I reached out to FFR about this they basically said "sure anything will fit with a cutter and a welder" but they don't offer the mounts for that reason.

you can take that HP line off - no issue, I removed mine as I am painting my cam covers

What made you choose the Coyote engine? Did you have the same in your roadster?
