  1. Installed a Tremec Magnum XL in my S550

    The S550 has several bolt-on driveshaft safety loops available. Blowfish, BMR, etc. I’m not sure where they mount, and the T56XL changes the length of the trans obviously... so a little research will be necessary. For my Factory Five Daytona, I ordered an Allstar Performance kit from summit to...
  2. Installed a Tremec Magnum XL in my S550

    Well come on, get this trans swap done!! Just get started and make it happen, it’ll be done before you know it. I want to hear the report after you’ve completed it. Improvements almost isn’t the right word...the Gen 3 Coupe chassis was a clean sheet design. It blows the old one out of the...
  3. Installed a Tremec Magnum XL in my S550

    The Bowler dial-indicator plate is around $70, which is annoying but I’m telling you it’s worth it. Not having to rip the front cover off a brand new sealed T56 and mess with the bearing races is nice. Plus the plate actually does more things (and better) when compared to the trans front cover...
  4. Installed a Tremec Magnum XL in my S550

    I just finished dial indicating my QuickTime RM-8080 bellhousing to my 2019 Coyote engine. With straight dowels, it was 0.0135” off to the 7:30 position. I purchased 0.007” offset dowels and faced their high-side towards the 1:30 position, and that brought my TIR down to 0.006 or so...which...
  5. 2nd Gen Coyote - minimal electronics?

    And this, right here, is EXACTLY why I decided it was time to build the car I have been wanting to build since the late 1990’s. I’m not getting any younger... better to have a racecar when I can actually really use it!
  6. 2nd Gen Coyote - minimal electronics?

    I am very familiar with John George’s Coupe-R build, primarily because he regularly posted the details, problems/fixes, and his setup specs online for to share with other builders. Big thanks to him for that. I have called around a bit and tried to get answers to the PATS delete. That is the...
  7. 2nd Gen Coyote - minimal electronics?

    Alex_V Sent you a PM. Finally another FFR builder on the M6G forum! Welcome! I am building a Gen 3 Daytona Coupe-R now. Using a Gen 3 Coyote pulled from a wrecked 2019 Mustang GT. I have the original Mustang PCM and wiring harness, but the more research I do...the less likely it seems like it...
  8. 2018 Flywheel Bolts

    Did you ever sort this out? It sounds to me like 2018+ Gen 3 Coyote engines with aftermarket flywheels must use a set of brand-new OEM Ford flywheel bolts, and install them with a T55 Torx bit? I bought a Tremec T56 Magnum transmission, and Tilton ST-246 twin-disc clutch (comes with chromoly...

    Yep, just use the 1:1 ratio in the transmission, or whatever is closest to it if you don’t have a true 1:1. The T56 has a 1:1 which is 4th like Alec said. Let her rip!
  10. Installed a Tremec Magnum XL in my S550

    Thank you @aleccolin !!! Also....I’m sold. Ordering the exact same clutch as soon as I find a shop to sell me a T56 Magnum and this clutch setup for a decent price. Looks great!
  11. Installed a Tremec Magnum XL in my S550

    @aleccolin - Any chance for those pictures, or an unboxing overview? Did you go with the organic-disc sprung-hub version? I’m about to place my order, so just holding out for your thoughts on it.. sorry to keep bugging! Lol
  12. Installed a Tremec Magnum XL in my S550

    @aleccolin - Have you received your Tilton ST-246 clutch yet? I’ve pretty much decided against McLeod and in favor of going with this new Tilton myself. Now just to choose sprung-hub organic or solid-hub ceramic.
  13. Installed a Tremec Magnum XL in my S550

    Glad you got it sorted. I kept calling it “rev hang” in my initial communication with Lund, but they were NOT getting the point.... I was a bit annoyed, because my explanation was extremely clear and precise, and they still asked to see log files of the phenomenon. So I sent them. Like I said...
  14. Installed a Tremec Magnum XL in my S550

    Here is the reply I got from McLeod this morning: “The stack height of a sprung hub is 4.040” from the crank flange to the finger + 0.275” of crank offset. There isn’t a bearing in existence that is less than a inch thick. -McLeod Tech Support” Before we get too far along, I need to make this...
