    Best Suspension?

    That's the one. The #480 spring will work in any Mustang from '65-'73. John

    What mods would need to be done to increase high speed stability?

    Lot's of caster in the alignment specs. Some of us run as much as 5deg. positive caster. John

    Got some extra cash...what to do?

    Brakes are the most important part of the car IMO. If the car still has stock brakes, go for some stopping power. Here are a couple of links. http://www.mustangdepot.com/OnLineCatalog/parts_department.htm http://www.streetortrack.com/products.asp...

    5 leaf mideye and del-alum bushings???

    We have poly on the orange car right now too. I'm changing it to Del-alum before the next outing. Sould free things up like the perches do up front. We'll see. Good to hear from you too. You know what they say about all work and no play! John

    My $150 exhaust

    I don't think you'll have any trouble. I made my own tail pipes to go around my Watts link. I knew the muffler shop wouldn't do it so I gave it my best shot. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and I'm happy with the way it turned out. The tips go out through a GT valance. I got mandrel...

    Yes. The original UCA's were 4 bolt. John

    Front Suspension Rebuild (Which kit/4 bolt or 3 bolt)

    The complete upper arms from MP for your car are 3 bolt. They work the same as the 4 bolt. They have the same dimensions and do the same job. There is no performance differance that I can see. John

    Help me get my stance right (lots of pics)

    I think what 2bav8 was getting at is that the 17" wheels are a lot heavier than the 14" or 15" wheels. That weight alone will hurt the cars performance. The wheels I'm using on my '64 Falcon weigh 11lbs each up front and 13lbs each out back. The 17" wheels can weigh 25lbs each or more. A low...

    Anyone running a 351 in a 65/66?

    We have FPT headers on our Cleveland with a cross flow radiator. I have seen headers for that swap on ebay for around $300. You could do it on the cheap if you look around for parts. Special headers and a bigger radiator are the big costs. The car is a lot of fun to drive. My best time around...

    Help me get my stance right (lots of pics)

    It takes a while to cut the front springs 1/4 coil or less each step to get the front to sit right. The rear takes time with lowering blocks or new/rebuilt leaf springs to get that right. I spend a lot of time getting the cars to sit right, though you can put them together and hit the front or...

    help with my 65 lowering wonders...

    Well, our car runs 14's on the street with 245/60/14's out back and 225/60/14's up front on real Minilite 14X7 wheels. Looks good, nice and low. Link John

    Opentracker is the man!

    Thank you and your welcome. I try and make our parts look as good as they work. Makes a nice change to ride of the car going from a stuck rubber perch to a free moving perch. You'll like it. John

    New clutch – jerky during feathered take off - ?

    The clutch will chatter in our car if the torque strap isn't tight. I give it one full turn of pre-load. John

    Anyone done just the floor with Fatmat or Dynamat?

    Well, I like the sound of the car. Dynamat would be my choice if I had that intention. I would cover every seam with it and undercoat the bottom. John

    Konis or Opentracker Roller Perches first?

    I would do the perches first too. The shocks are adjustable, you'll be playing with them for a long while. John

    Best suspension upgrade

    I have broken a lot of ball joints in the shop doing upper arm R&D. The Moog upper ball joint is by far the best. Moog has lower arms, tie rods and idler arms for early Mustangs too. I agree that the suspension kit should have as many Moog parts as you can get. As far as I know, no one makes a...
