I missed the NSW location when I first replied. I think your equivalent of our DMV gives you guys a real hard time about side pipes, if my memory is correct. So if you are running under chassis exhaust all the stuff about mounting points is probably just so much arm waving that will not amount to anything at all.

Apologies for the false alarm.

Regards,

Ed

Yes exhausts are underneath so was going to mod the gearbox mount anyway for the TR6060 as the box is comming with an aftermarket SFI blast proof bellhousing and I do not know the depth of the bellhousing.Its all fun.From what I have heard the Coyote shares mounting points with the 4.6 litre but could be wrong.The headers that come with the car are for a for modular 4.6 so we will see if they fit.

sean2789,

One other thought might be helpful ...

When you locate the oxygen sensors, a popular location is in the collector just ahead of the muffler (if you run side pipes). I originally had my side pipes modified to locate the sensors there. It works much better if you get them closer to the engine like the factory does. If you use the factory iron headers then you have the OEM locating point available. If you intend to use side pipes then there is a little work that needs to be done.

I ended up locating my sensors at the junction between the headers and the side pipes by sandwiching a 1.375" (35MM) thick stainless block between the two (on each side of the car) and welding in two sensor bungs. One bung is for the OEM sensor and one is for a wideband sensor for tuning purposes only. The center of the block is milled out so the sensors get exhaust from all four cylinders.

When you do this you have to shorten either the header or the side pipes by an amount equal to the thickness of the stainless block you have added for the oxygen sensors to get everything to look right on the outside - if you choose to run side pipes.

Correct on the mounts, the hard points are shared with the 4.6, the headers not at all.............Plan on some fun fabrication!
