Jay and Brian at Vintage Motorsports have done several straight coyotes as well as my coyote aluminator NA and at least 2 supercharged versions and an aluminator XS coming soon. You can see build pictures of cars in process as well as completed on their web site.

Since I had mine installed, I do not have all the details, but do know that there was some perp work on the engine compartment fiberglass to accommodate the wider motor and the engine placement is critical. I have also heard that the throttle by wire conversion is not the easiest to install.

All said, even with the additional expense, I would do it all over again. Had the car just under a year and have 3500 trouble free miles on it.

If you are going turnkey or roller, talk to Jay at Vintage Motorsports first.
