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.

January 26, 2026

I made the call to scrub FFR operations for the day. The drive in wasn’t bad, and most roads are clear. Unfortunately our plow crew was late, and the day dawned with 3-4′ drifts in the back parking lot! We will be at work and at full strength tomorrow. Sorry for any difficulties this may cause.

Three Generations Embark on a Type 65 Coupe Dream Build

January 19, 2026

Dave Ryan’s Type 65 Coupe build is moving right along—and it’s become something even bigger along the way. In collaboration with Factory Five Racing, V6 Media is producing a short film documenting the build process. Recently, Dave’s father, Vaun Ryan, sat down to share his lifelong passion for performance cars and motorcycles—sparked as a young boy on the family farm in Utah, building a homemade go-kart powered by a hay-elevator motor. That curiosity for how things work turned into a lifetime of mechanical enthusiasm, passed down through generations and now culminating in Dave’s Type 65 Coupe build, which is a…
