I just bought an 89 dignify and I'm wanting to add a 2014-15 new coyote engine with Whipple supercharger, but on a rear/mid engine mount. With a transaxel setup. Is there any advice for me? I'm trying to do a reinforced chassis and a suspension setup of my own design.is there any advice?

Holy smoke! This would be interesting to see it done.

There are some really creative minds in the 1979-1995 general talk subforum. Post this question along with some pictures of any progress you've made toward that end.

If you're serious about tackling something of this magnitude, I'll bet you'll find quite a bit of help from the guys there.

As I'm sure you're aware, this idea is so much more than just "sticking the engine in the back".

@madmike1157 will be of particular help. He's an incredible fabricator. I think he'll want you to prove you're serious though (hence the pictures).

Welcome to Stangnet brother, good luck, I very much hope you can do this, it ought to be a very fascinating process as well as an end product.

Just reread your post, I saw "'89" and I automatically thought a fox body! What is an '89 dignify? Wait on posting in another thread. My initial advice may be incorrect.

There's already a guy bumpin' his head with that idea already...
 
I told you Mike would know something
I know that the car ( as it has evolved) looks nothing like the pic. The engine/ transaxle is literally breath in down his neck, he had to extend the rear wheel well openings to the point of fugly, and trying to blend all of those body mods are completely KICKING HIS ASS.

Its hood hell × 1000.
