    I've just obtained an issue of "Engine Swaps" and the Coyote-swapped 1970 Maverick is contained within on p.78.

    I first noticed Dan Dubs' vehicle via YouTube:


    Will still create a thread when mine commences and progresses. However, I'll be installing the T56 behind the Coyote. :tiphat:

    That car looks like the same car that was at the Dubque, Iowa Gathering this past July. I believe I have some pix of it at the motel parking lot. I don't think there's to many Mav/Comets running around w/ those motors.. Very impressive car.

    Wish I didn't already have an engine sitting on the stand all rebuilt and ready to go. I would have gone that route if they were available a couple years ago.

    Nice car. I hope nobody short ever drives it. If they move that bench seat forward, it's gonna hit the floor-shifter.

    Buckets would be the solution.

    Everett you are correct. That car was at the Gathering in Dubuque.

    Should be hanging on the lower RF of engine bolted directly to block, no brackets necessary...

    I'm basically a Modular/Coyote bigot, but gotta admit that is sweet...

    That car is pretty sweet! The interior is awesome, and pretty rare. I'd like to have a closer look, I wonder if the engine could go lower, into the engine bay, or if the engine cover that makes it look a little high..
