The attraction for me was that it was something different. I know it is not period correct but The engine was dropped shipped to me with everything I needed to drop it into the car and all the parts are already matched up. I have struggled in the past with AC and alternator brackets and radiator hoses that fit in the past. Another thing for me was the benifit of having EFI and not having to wonder if my car was going to start this time or not. Having to spend Thousands of dollars on some shinney brackets doesn't apeal to me anymore. I am tired of bringing home three radiator hoses to slice up in order to make something to fit. Function and ease of installation interest me these days.


I told Mat last night I felt like I have betrayed you by not building one of your engines to drop into the coupe. The truth is I was given a bit of an incentive to build the Coupe with the Coyote Engine. I am not getting anything for free but but at a reduced cost and that helps me in the long run. I know there will be trade offs and I guess I am going to see just what I prefer best. I know one thing for sure, Mats sb 427 will eat me up and spit me out. I think it is a beast in shiney clothes.
