Questions on Foot pedal spacing - options?

[Mark IV]

All of the brands have different spacing and configurations.

I can speak for Superformance in that we now have three footbox designs available depending upon your engine choice. These are:

"Small block"- Set up for any of the Windsor or GM LS engines. This is the widest footbox available in a Mark III

"Big block"- Set up for an "FE" or 385 series (429/460) engine. This is the "medium" design.

The "Quadcam" setup for the Modular motor family.

How would installing the coyote 5.0 impact the foot box space?

If the same size engine was placed in a SPF or a Backdraft is there a difference in foot box space?

Thanks

The "Mod Motor" footbox is used for the Coyote. Due to the width of the engine "up top" it requires the narrower footbox to allow the installation. The steering shaft is routed somewhat differently from the small block setup.

I have no idea of the footbox configuration in a Backdraft, I presume Jay will chime in with the details.

The Superformance chassis has been designed to allow the different engines to fit the same frame with the footbox variety for best fit. It is only in the recent production that the three footbox designs have been available. Most early cars are the "big block" setup which allows any of the pushrod engines to fit.

The Superformance pedals can be field modified to move them side to side and are adjustable to some extent for "fore/aft" placement.

Tag, I have 12EEE feet -- after seven years of driving my car, always with the same skinny Nikes on, there is plenty of room for my feet. Your feet really get used to the otherwise cramped space. A pic of the "slightly spread" pedals on my ERA is in my gallery. Having my dead pedal, that is "normally" placed, is a huge benefit on longer drives, and for just resting your foot. You don't want to rest your foot on your clutch -- even lightly.
