So I go this route if I can’t find an ’84 – ’86 SVO T5 and bell housing that already has the cable based clutch? Sounds a lot easier to find, thanks.
One more question, why the three link instead of 4 link parallel arms? I am building a lotus 7 with my son and that is the route we went, along with most everyone else. I have read it is easier to… -

Maybe the type of kit would be useful information, mine is a ford kit with frame.

Also new here, recently acquired a ford based fiber fab kit that has never been assembled, making a few changes based on recommendations here and finding parts. Back in the day when these kits were built Pinto’s were plentiful, now they are a cult collector car and parts are hard to come by and getting expensive. Doing my best to piece things t…[Read more]

What do you all think of the mustang II “phone dial” 10 hole alloy wheels? They must be lighter than the steel wheels.

OK one more try on the ride height. Can anyone tell me the distance from the ground to the bottom of the chassis on a stock ford base kit when completed? This would really be helpful to me.
Thanks, T. J. -

Can anyone tell me what the design chassis height is, like from the ground to the bottom of the chassis? That way I can build the rear suspension for the 8″ rear end and get the right length of coil overs.
Thanks, T. J. -

Bill,
More than I thought and balanced closer than I imagined, reason for my guesses.Got a line on a rear end, by the time I get it to me from Florida will be close to $500 and then I will need to change the gears, it is a posi though.If I were to set up fake coil overs to establish ride height would I use the stock shock mounts, and at what… -

Bill,
I notice you have 2″ drop spindles, is that to get the right ride height while maintaining the stock suspension geometry? Makes more sense than a cut coil to me. Have you tried lighter springs in the rear, 500 sounds pretty stiff to me, but I am guessing at the weight, have you put your car on scales? -
