Install Kits for Mk4 and ’33 Hot Rod Near Completion

A lot of guys have been asking us for install kits and instructions on putting Ford’s 5.0L Coyote engine into either a Mk4 Roadster or ’33 Hot Rod. We installed a 5.0L Coyote into a Hot Rod last fall on HorsePower TV and just recently we dropped the new engine into our red Mk4.

The longest lead time part has been the headers and the good guys at BBK are manufacturing headers dedicated for both the ’33 Hot Rod and Mk4 Roadster. Jesper in engineering fit the first articles last week and it should be 6-8 weeks before we get production parts. The attached DRAFT install procedure if for the Mk4 Roadster and is for informational/background purposes only. We have a number of customers currently installing these engines and we want to make sure our install kit is easy to incorporate.

Bill B. Shares an Update on His Mk5 Build

April 20, 2026

Every build has a story—but some take a lifetime to begin. After decades as a technician, engineer, and business owner—building companies, leading teams, and designing critical communications systems across New England—I decided at 50 to return to where it all started: a passion for cars. That decision became Blue Hills Customs. This MK5 Roadster is more than a project—it’s the first expression of a vision to create ultra-premium, one-off roadsters that blend classic design with modern performance and reliability. Factory Five Racing provided the perfect canvas. The MK5 isn’t just a kit—it’s a foundation that allows builders to bring something truly… Read More »
