Hey guys, I was waiting to start this thread until we had test fitted the motor. No sense in posting a bunch of pictures of a motor in a crate 
The initial mock-up looks good. By using the MM 4.6 swap k-member and MM multi-position rack bushings (included with the k-member), the lack of rack-to-pan clearance that everyone feared *might* be solved. We have not mounted the T56 yet, but from tilting the motor fore and aft, the rack has about 1/2" worth of clearance at every point (with the MM rack bushings positioning the rack at its lowest point). On a side note, I'm slowly but surely becoming best friends with our contact at the local Ford dealer, having already had him overnight bolts from Livonia twice.
Here are a few pictures so far. If anyone would like more pictures, please let me know and I will take them. The mid-length headers that are shipped with the crate motor (factory 2011 Mustang GT) will not work. We are friends with a header builder who is waiting for us to bolt up the T56 before we trailer the car over to his shop to have them made. We are *fingers crossed* hoping that the T56 brackets we fabricated and welded when the car had a pushrod T56 can be reused with the Coyote motor.
Here is the back story on the car/ swap: Coyote Motor Blog
