    best place for mustang II?

    The A-arm is wider than the crossmember. Some A-arms split the difference (symetrical). Mine I think have a one inch spacer, or stand off, on each side of the crossmember. Some A-arms are flush on the crossmember one side and have a larger spacer on the other side.(asymetrical) The...

    best place for mustang II?

    Simply look at the design. A symetrical A-arm with shorter standoffs will be stronger. Pretty simple math too. There is no comparison. As complex as they make it sound, suspension is simple. Either they made false statements knowingly, or had no clue what they were talking about. Neither of...

    best place for mustang II?

    I used a street rod engineering kit. My car has driven the Alcan and been hit by another car and my suspension is fine. The also have a symetrical A-arms so the stand offs are equal, and short, instead of one being long, and needing braced. Heidts is the company that had pictures of a...

    The penultimate of stupid looking Fords

    I saw a Ford COE like that conveted into an SUV. Powered by a Powerstroke. It was at an auto show in Seattle a few years ago. I thought it was cool.

    The Reenmachine DOHC '67 Shelby Clone Convertible Progress

    Looking at those last pics it is clear where a a fox body windsor pan would be interferring with the rack if the engine were mounted like that.

    The Reenmachine DOHC '67 Shelby Clone Convertible Progress

    Looking at the geomtry, I am almost positive I could just mount a correct rack, those spindles, and make new motor mounts. I see no reason to use the whole superride suspension. Heidts makes it sound like it is more than a MII, but look at the geometry, they just use different mounts. It is rear...

    The Reenmachine DOHC '67 Shelby Clone Convertible Progress

    Nice looking MII swaps. I MII'd my '70 back in '99. It was a junkyard sourced set up, and worked well. In '02' I redid it with parts from Street Rod Engineering. and now it works good, but looks better! Mine has a completely custom built front subframe. One issue is that with a 203 we all...

    O.T. What happened to US

    Redistribution too the top 1%? You realize they pay most of the taxes right? The lower and middle class pay very little in taxes. Not everywhere, not all states are California. Living wage? If you are making Minimum wage and it isn't enough, get a new job. Mandating a "living wage" as a...

    Rear Steer MII!?

    Umm... I have already converted to MII. My front subframe is scratch built also. Nothing stock up there. MII conversions often have less than ideal engine placements. These Ford rear sump pans still have a sump up fron to clear the oil pump. It is the pan needing to occupy space that the...

    Rear steer only of course. Rear steer as in the rack behind centerline of wheels.

    Rear Steer MII!?

    In '99 I did a junkyard MII swap on my '70. In 2001 I redid it with a Street Rod Engineering Kit. My car has been wrecked, with no suspension damge, and has also driven the Alcan. The MII drives great. I won't say if it does, or does not handle ideal, but it seems to be ok. I will say it...

    Been awhile...

    Just stopping in to say hi. Since my Mustang got hit I haven't been here much. Life has been busy and my car is just sitting until I can buya house with a garage and work on it myself. Honestly, it is kind of depressing to think about. Oh well, someday... For those who don't remember, I have...

    samwe - handling of your Mustang II conversion?

    I drive completely street, well up until I got hit list year... As far as I can tell it handles fine. at the track, maybe it won't be up to par, I don't know. We went out of our way to get the engine down and back. The MII is bad in that regard. The steeering is tight and responsive. That...
