My coyote nightmare

[Hemmer]

Made the cross member today. Looks like we will need to modify the fire wall. Drivers side. Not sure yet.

That's with the 2" body lift already? Does that steering column protrude further out than a stock column?

Some inspiration?

Yes it has a 2 in lift I’m not sure about the column I know u can have it modified to be shorter

Hemmer - Do you have the Column bolted up just behind the dash? Stock type mount on the column? Looks to be way to far forward into the engine compartment.

My column didnt hang up, but the set screw nut on the Ujoint hit the motor when I turned the wheel. Im using the column support bracket to push the column a bit up and towards the inner fender to have clearance.

Are you using a spacer on your steering box?

 

[Hemmer]

I don’t have the spacer in but I do have one for it. Yes my steering column must be longer cuz it’s the right depth.

Did you cut your fender well out on both sides? Or just passenger ?

I have only cut the passenger side. Others have done the same. It may help to do the other side too.

 

[duffymahoney]

wow that's tight

Yea your column looks long. When its shorter, theres room to redirect it a bit, and get you off the valve cover.

I only cut my passenger side. I am running an ididit tilt column with borgeson u joints, and just a plain shaft that I had to trim a bit to get the right length. Borgeson 4 turn box with a spacer. Your whole setup looks a little bigger than mine. I am not having that much clearance issues, just on the upper u joint where the set screw is touching the valve cover. To get the clearance, I ended up drilling the steering shaft so the screw sits down in deeper.

curious, you sourced a new motor, where did you get your 6R80 transmission? Do you have a part number for it? Thanks

 

[Hemmer]

I got it from a junk yard

 

[Jamie Chriss]

F150? thanks!
