BTW a 99+ rear-end is even wider yet if you could find one of those it would help the sn95 overhang. Awesome swap though, I thought at first you were driving a fox body, that's why I mentioned an lx 5.0. Check some places like mustang parts specialty places if you are real serious about getting one quick: ie www.stangparts.com .

If you could find a 96+ 8.8 it would have 3.27s which you would probably like a little better than the 94-95s (3.08s?).

All I can say is wow.

Looks awesome.

Cold again this weekend though right?

I saw the pic but did the outer race spin in the housing?

Awesome, what's the power plant going to be?

I like Jack and either 7up, ginger ale, coke or on the rocks. A Jack Manhatten or Gentleman Jack Manhatten is also good.

I think I am going to participate in some Auto X as it is a little less $ than a HPDE, and work commitments, I to just can't drop work on friday. Maybe sometime in the summer. Are there any other HPDE's during the summer?

Stangs do have a little overhang in the back don't they smile.gif . The PHB set up is a major improvement over the 4 link set up of the last 25 years. I was just trying to get across the point that PHBs on solid rear axles can handle pretty well to all those who complain about the lack of IRS in the new Cobra.

Yeah no t56? Engine impressive, brakes impressive but wonder what it weighs? What exactly are they aiming at, GTO, Mustang Shelby Cobra, CTS, M5? Or are they between? Mopars were always a little bigger, and the Charger wasn't exactly a "pony car."

If you are going for the sleeper look do the duals with dumps before the rear axle, if not take duals clear to the back bumper like a gt or lx 5.0

First you need to find a web address to host it on. Then hit the image button on the post screen and paste the url of the pic in the box and then post the thread/reply. On topic, how are those Hankooks? I held off and picked up a set of Nitto NT555s because not many people knew much about them. But recently I have seen alot of adds and more people using them. It sounds like they are going to be like another Kuhmo. Can't wait to see the pics.

If you mind shipping: http://xratedcylinderheads.free-websites.com/ XR8TED and JIMSVT have put up some impressive numbers on B-head cars. Here is a thread on the corral with a little info: http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=619140

I'm there but probably just watching.

The next step is to convert the new mustang platform to a retro falcon. BTW I think the new mustangs rearend is pretty cool with the factory PHB. No matter what they come out with someone will always complain. Either "solid axle can't handle worth shit" or "IRS cant get traction worth shit." The 8.8 isn't a bad rearend and with a PHB or Watts link solid rear axles can handle.

Heres the one with the curb rash, more pics available upon request. I think the flash did not do the wheel justice. http://us.f520.mail.yahoo.com/ym/ShowLetter/wheel4.jpg?viewimg=1&box=Sent&MsgId=8566_352740_1998_603_287225_0_631_372508_2857578500&bodyPart=4&filename=wheel4.jpg&tnef=&YY=21533&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b

Pics sent, let me know if there were any problems.

I have a 3.27 ring and pinion and maybe enough clutch pack parts to go with the modified clutch pack arrangement if you want to get into all that.

I will just send everyone the same email when I can get some pics.

That sounds like a pretty damn good price. I couldn't find a fox for that when I was looking for one as a DD, so I stopped looking. But I guess I wasn't very flexible because I wanted a five speed hatch.

97 Cobra rims and center caps. Mounted are Bridgestone Potenza pole positions in 235/45/17. Two of the tires are low on tread life, two have I would say half. Rims are in good shape, 1 has some curb rash but barely noticable. Finish is excellent. Center Caps are pretty good, have a few bent spots from being pryed off but barely noticable. I have seen them on a few sn95 GTs and they look really good as well as on a 5 lug lx hatch and it looked awesome. I just picked up some 03 wheels so I decided to let these go. Price: $200 firm If interested email wk223000@yahoo.com I will send pics upon request.

Also I have seen D&D auto to various manual transmission kits (including T5) advertised but I didn't see it with a quick look on their site but if you gave them a call I am sure they could point you in the right direction.
