1) Hurst

2) I used a 275/60/15 on a Weld Draglite 15x8 5.5bs - flipped quad shock and hammered inner fender with rubber mallet, with drag springs

I have a hurst line lock, i like it and it works awesome but was a pain to install and didnt come with everything. ( there were two stupid little fittings that it didnt come with and there were a bunch of extra fittings i didnt need) basically its designed for a variety of vehicles. it did however come with good directions and noted the 2 fittings i had to buy somewhere else


i have 275/40 r17's on 9" cobras, no rubbing, but its close on the tailpipes

Heres a vid of my line lock being put to good use

I guess it all depends on the setup if it will rub, my car is lowered, i didnt have to flip my quads or bash my inner fender. and my tires dont rub

order a hurst kit from latemodelrestoration.com ROLL CONTROL KIT, HURST, W/O ABS, INCLUDES ROLL CONTROL, FITTINGS AND LINES MUSTANG.

89_lx is right, the hurst kit doesn't include some pretty important things. 50resto.com, now latemodelrestoration.com has put together the hurst kit along with all the little fittings and brake lines you need.

I have the hurst kit and never had a problem.

I also ordered a hurst shifter with button so that is what use to control the line lock (roll control).

Hurst makes a fitting kit specifically for the Mustangs. I used that along with their roll control kit and it works like a champ.

I have a Hurst Roll Control. I love it. My rear tires do not like it. I have 275/55/ r15 on my car mounted on weld draglites that are 15x8 with a 5.5 inch back space. Didn't have to roll my fender lips either.

Yeah I got the hurst kit too, and the instructions were total ass. I spent a while figuring it all out. Finally got it diagrammed out, and I still haven't got around to bending the tubes.

Thats a nice looking engine bay. You have a big hole in the center of the engine there.... Is that where you plum in the 45 gallon drum of gasoline? lol. Looks good. Bet that will be one scary ride at the track. I wish I had gone with a 460 when I did my swap. I guess the 351w will just have to do.
