Molten Motorsports is the race team for Liquid Iron Industries. This build has been planned for about a year. We qualified for KOH 2013 at RCQ this year which sealed the deal, time for a new car. The Blackbird build was great in its day, but the car just wasn't holding up. We have learned a lot over the years and we were at a point where we were outdriving the car every race.
Time for an upgrade, a big one. We are starting this build about a month later than I wanted due to some parts delays as well as being extremely busy keeping up with production.
The stars aligned and I was able to get started after hours this week.
We couldn't do this without these incredible sponsors:
Heavy Metal Concepts
Tousley Ford
Spidertrax
Jimmy's 4x4
Wide Open Design
FOX Racing
PRP Seats
CBR Radiators
Ruffstuff Specialties
The Axle Exchange
Mechman Alternators
East Coast Gear Supply
BTR Wheels
BF Goodrich
Liquid Iron Industries (Duh)

Big day:
Old vs New.
The Coyotes are an incredible motor. Seeing as i'm the first to use this in our industry, there has been a huge learning curve. We are developing a bunch of products that will help bring this engine to market. The bang for the buck is huge with Ford Racing's offerings. If anyone is interested in running this engine feel free to call/email/PM for a quote.
The intake IS able to be flipped. It takes some minor trimming on the intake but it's very minor.
The modular bellhousing pattern is retained in the Coyote which allows us to run a TH400. We use an Ultra Bell for a 4.6L and a flexplate for an 8 bolt crank. Everything bolts up.
This trans is built by Dave Moore who does all of my transmissions. He has learned a lot with our industry and everything he's built for me has been flawless (as long as you don't throw it in reverse mid race!). It has a HD sprag, 4L80 drum with extra clutches, line pressure regulator, RMVB, AA shorty, etc etc etc.
I'm temporarily using my rear 9" housing from the blackbird car. This is originally from Will Carter and has the famous dent in the truss. I've added a few of my own...
