Definitely share a picture (or a few) of the transaxle bolted to the Coyote engine as a standalone assembly if possible to showcase for visual reference.

Artwork is full-size -- ie: 1-1 scale.

Advantage of the 1-1 sized artwork is obviously as Joel is doing -- the measurements are the same to the real thing. Other perk is as one starts building...
