    How much are you planning on lowering it? I'm willing to bet most who lower these mustangs don't have adjustable control arms. I never have had them and never had an issue. I think you'll be okay without having to readjust the pinion angle. Lowering 1-2" is probably within spec.

    1956 F100 Gets New Rear.

    I got the bed on semi straight (not bolted down) and the crown vic rear end close to center. This is what I found: Yup too wide. This is a 2004 crown vic rear end. I've hear the late nineties (maybe older than 02?) rears are narrower but I can't attest to that. I was thinking I could just...

    1956 F100 Gets New Rear.

    New pins and we are all set: As you can see the old ones werent going to cut it. In fact, I had to use a cut off wheel to cut the drivers pin out. Both sides loosely bolted in. All bolted up. I set the pinion angle slightly up but it isn't permanent. Nothing welded in just bolted...

    1956 F100 Gets New Rear.

    Got the new rear end in there and BAM! Sits up like a four wheel drive. Going to have to run spring under axle. So, 60 years of crud I had to deal with to get the axle pins out. PB blaster and hammer....... Yup, ruined the pin bolts. Got the leafs down and that's about all I had the patience...

    1956 F100 Gets New Rear.

    Mosquitoes are in full effect. I finished getting pieces for my trans cross member. But I needed to get the rear end from the crown vic in there so I'll have a good ride height for trans and pinion angles. I started to unbolt the rusty rear end and it was taking a breaking bar to get the nuts...

    Build Thread 1978 Mercury Cyclone. The pig is in the pen.

    Is this summit brand single stage? I was looking at this and reading some reviews. Many highly recommend adding the clear coat or the shine won't last on the single stage after a few years. (Guess it wouldn't be a true single stage then.) I found a blue that I wanted to put on my 56 and maybe...

    And madmike has conceded the LS movement was a farce. We must all be reminded the LS struggle is real and must not be treated as a folly.
