    Anyone have solid motor mounts?

    i have stock configuration mounts on my falcon but with aluminum rectagular extrusion instead of rubber. so an easy way to make solid motor mounts. on my 65 mustang i bought ron morris motor mounts. both have small block fords but are high reving and no vibration transfer to the chassis

    Anyone seen this suspension setup?

    wow a whole 65% antisquat. I hope its adjustable. they might use lightweight tubing, but i think its overkill. it looks like you add alot of weight to the car.
