From the Rousch exhibit at SEMA 2017.
I was told they plan to show this at Chicago February 2018

I'd like to see that!  I have zero interest in being in Chicago in February, though.

If you're on Facebook, here's a link to a post with lots of photos of this project on the Roush Facebook site way back in April.

Carl, Coyote is much more compact than older 4.6/5.4 Modular. Just imagine the sound of those ITB's sucking air.

Can't figure out how to grab a pic from the facebook link, but is that a FastCars front suspension?

That was my guess.  I could confirm with Steve Carrick or Terry Senneker.

The last I knew of it they had one of our SPEEDSTER body kits but may have decided to fab a steel  body up instead ??

If this car was at SEMA this year, I sure missed it.
