    Default my 86 coyote coupe build.

    I bought this coupe off this board back in nov 13. so im starting with a clean platform.

    my plans are coyote with some sort of forced induction. I have a Paxton but im a turbo guy at heart. im wanting this 4-eye to to be more of a rest-mod build not just track car. I want it to sit it low with meat tucked under the car and make an 8 second pass and drive it anywhere.
    iive got most of the parts rounded up (at least the big parts) now its time to build then tear it all down for paint.

    any tips or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    Its good to see your starting with a good car. I love the 85/86 coupes and a Coyote is probably the best swap for these cars. I just wish they were not so much money. I say turbo with one of the new 6 speed automatics. Perfect street combo that will run good at the track.
