Logan's 1986 Mustang GT is a great example of a low-mile 4-eyed Fox Mustang. He's been working hard to get the car up to his spec. It isn't everyday you see a 19 year old with a Fox Mustang! This car features a few mods such as E7 heads, an '87 upper intake, and an aluminum driveshaft just to name a few.
Ditch the extra weight and gain a few extra horsepower in your 1979-1993 Mustang 5.0/5.8 with this SVE power steering and A/C delete bracket kit delete kit! As so often happens, you end up trying to take your Fox Body to the next level on the track for quicker ETs. Eliminating the A/C and converting to manual steering is a common way to do so, but it leaves you trying to figure out how to route your serpentine belt. Well, it usually left you with a wonky alternator bracket that was hard to align or tension and often didn't give proper belt wrap. With SVE's delete bracket, you can retain the stock belt tensioner and have the proper belt wrap and alignment. In return, you can drop a lot of weight off the front end and the free-turning pulley requires less horsepower from the engine, resulting in more power to the rear wheels!
Manufactured in the USA, with the SVE logo engraved front and center, it is sure to clean up your engine bay. The brackets are made from thick 6061 billet aluminum construction that's fully CNC machined for strength and durability. The bracket is 3/8" thick, ensuring it won't bend under load while still being very light. Pre-drilled holes allow it to be bolted directly to the water pump, freeing up valuable real estate on the front end of your Windsor engine. Aluminum stand-off spacers place the bracket in the proper alignment for the belt drive and secure it with the correct length of hardware. SVE took it a step further, supplying a high-quality Motorcraft idler pulley that won't squeak or wobble and is easy to acquire a replacement in the future.

The first few thoughts that came to mind with the SVE Coyote Swap Shorty Header was simplicity, serviceability of nearby components, and of course the price. Since the dawn of the Coyote swap in 96-04 Mustangs, all of us (for the most part) have followed the same methodology; purchase long tube headers, the matching mid-pipe, and a k-member. We've done all that stuff! Several, several times! All of those parts work great, but we wanted to take a different approach and repurpose components that were already on the car. Well, package all of that together and the result is the SVE Coyote Swap Shorty Header for 1996-2004 Mustangs!
*Vehicle Fitment*
- Fits 1996-2004 Mustang with factory 4.6 k-member.
- Bolts up to factory or aftermarket 1996-04 4.6L mid-pipe.
- Coyote swap oil pan recommended to clear factory k-member clearance.
- Fits Gen 1-3 Coyote engines. Will NOT fit Gen 4 engines due to bolt pattern differences.
- Will fit 1979-1993 Mustang if using 96-04 4.6L k-member & mid-pipe.

Reduce unwanted road noise in your Mustang, Bronco, or SVT Lightning with this 2mm thick SVE sound deadening kit! Sound deadener sheets help quiet things down by eliminating squeaks, rattles, vibration, and engine/exhaust noise.
