Is it possible to loosen all the body bolts and actually slide the body back a hair? There is usually a little wiggle room.

Also the steering is close to the engine.

Hemmer - How much body lift do you have?

You will need at least 2" Body lift with that style of Bracket / Booster.

The Inline Bracket over the Driver's Side Inner Fender will work with a 1" body Lift. I did this with Hydroboost. (Pictured) The lower left edge of the bracket had to be radiused to clear.



What bracket are you using for that hydro boost? I have a Astrovan booster sitting in my backyard.

You can find that bracket on eBay.

Search "Bronco Hydro Boost". He has a couple options for you. One specifid to the Astro set-up.

My 77 is also pictured but that is for a Mustang Hydro Boost.

Tell the guy on eBay it's for a Bronco with a Coyote Motor. He has tweeked the design of the Bracket for it.

Ok thank you for the help. I’m starting to have fitment issues like crazy. I just don’t know why the engine is so close to the firewall.

As with all custom modifications to these Broncos, once you modify one thing (Coyote Motor), other items fall in line for modification too.

Yes u just wish the BC mounts didn’t bring it so close. My buddy did an LS swap in his 56 Chevy. His engine mounts are adjustable. That would be very nice to have.

Was going to try to move the body back a little on the frame to give me some room

This is looking down in the engine bay at the body mount side of the hole. Doesn’t seem like I’ll have any room to move the body back. Looks like it’s as far back as it wants to go.

The brake booster bracket, wondering if others have had the same problem? Would hydro boost do away with this issue?

Sorry for no update. Had to move the engine forward (modify the bc mounts) also I was able to use the f-150 headers. (Most people said u you can’t). Couple of pics. Waiting on one part and should be up and running.

Will take more pics later.

Sad this site didn't start a Coyote specific page! Agree the Facebook site has a lazy administrator who takes forever to approve a new members.
