Swapped the fox length Moser axles in the housing and swapped the caliper brackets to the opposite sides to make the rear calipers work with the fox axles.

People are weird! That helps explain the switch to Mustang tails!! Kind of a bummer though, I've been thinking of swapping my cheese-graters for Capri tails in my GT.

These could be salvaged with a little love... I just never like the look.

Simple economics.... I looked around for a descent 351w to build and for what people want I can buy 2 6.0s... plus I've built just about every kind of Windsor based stroker and want to learn the LS platform.

i reluctantly have to admit they are IMHO on top of the economical HP pile. GM got that one right. I don't like it but it's the truth.
