Damn Blake,

A couple posts above remind me of Jimlab a little bit.

Haha. I wasn't being a dick until he made the see the future comment, and then called me a "hater" which is just "stupid" for "I don't have a good counterpoint". Around that point I decided he was an idiot. Further posting proved my theory. ;)

To the OP, do it, prove me wrong, it'd be an interesting swap. Make sure you post up the completed pics here.

Oh, and to be slightly helpful. "Rage" built a car like this many years ago. He did a SOHC and DOHC.

That is a SOHC. Note the massive lack of room. There are issues with pushing an even larger DOHC back into the firewall, namely the braking system, as a hydroboost is ALREADY tight with the small SOHC. You also have a SOB of a time trying to fit headers to flow sufficiently without completely choking the engine. You're also going to have severe height issues, in order to clear the pan (go ahead and cut out your transmission tunnel or prepare for subpar driveline angles) as well as the forward facing intake on the Coyote. These aren't things that can be worked around. These are facts. These are why this is not a good engine choice for an FC. I call this "reality".
