Looks like the coyote should be 430 lbs, and an iron 4.6 is 486 lbs. an aluminum 4.6 2v should be 410ish lbs.
Damn the iron 4.6 sucks! lol

Are you using your overflow tank as just a catch for the coolant or for a recovery tank?That should work fine. I ditched my expansion tank as well. Threw out the “t” lower hose and just run a straight hose to lower radiator. I have a filler neck built into my radiator similar to 94-95’s, and than just run a line to a vented overflow

I've been looking into doing this a lot as well. I basically want to do the same thing as Mike but instead of a fancy radiator, just run an SVE aluminum 94-95 so it has the filler neck. Check out this thread

Yes I love the setup you did. My fabricator actually mentioned incorporating a tow ring. I think we willI've read many times that if you ditch the a/c condenser you should be able to fabricate the lower mounting tabs in the lower radiator support and move it forward to allow for more room. But i did a ton of research with it and decided going the custom radiator setup would be best for my setup. Was super simple, drop in and go, and allowed me to ditch the expansion tank with no effort at all. Just wasn't cheap. Good call going tubular on lower rad support, I wish I did. also consider getting one with a tow hook welded on, makes life a lot easier if you ever need a tow or hook up to a winch
Thats exactly what I will be doing. I dont have a condenser anymore so I have plenty of room up front. The lower core support Im chopping off and welding in a tubular bar and making my own rad mounts where I can put the stock rad and fan flush to the underside of the factory top core support.as he said you can move the condenser forward and then the rad. I did it and needed to modify the filler neck on the radiator and in the end it only gained me maybe 3" but if I had not done that the vortech crank pulley would have hit the aluminum overflow tank I used. I though I saw someone that replaced the bash bar up front with a tubular and then hung the rad between the bar and the bottom of the core support to free up all kinds of space but i don't think they had a condenser.
Some more mockup over the weekend. Chopped off the lower rad support and put the radiator where I felt happy with it. Clears the turbo perfect and leaves a better opening for the lower rad hose to clear the hot piping. Also mocked up the intercooler and looks like I will have plenty of room there too. Will be making measurments and fabbing my new rad/intercooler support soon.
