Dropping the motor in will be the easy part but sorting out the electronics will be a bit of a challenge.
I am looking to maintain the following systems and will spend the some time researching and testing what it takes:
Happy to get feedback and ideas on how to make all of this happen!

Improving The Best: Testing MPR-Built Gen-3 Coyote Cylinder Heads
The Gen-3 Coyote cylinder head is one of the best OEM cylinder heads to ever come out of the Blue Oval. MPR makes them even better.

Ford Coyote Update: New Stage-3 Cams Dyno 592 HP!
Car Craft brings the third-generation Ford Coyote crate motor to the dyno with Comp Cams new NSR Stage 3 camshafts for 592 HP.
Dropping the motor in will be the easy part but sorting out the electronics will be a bit of a challenge.
I am looking to maintain the following systems and will spend the some time researching and testing what it takes:
- Electric steering rack (Boss 302R)
- ABS (Boss race module)
- Functional tail, signal and headlights
- HVAC and AC. SoCal gets hot and this would be a big plus.
Happy to get feedback and ideas on how to make all of this happen!
