Default RE: OK guys short block is arriving today need advice on other goodies

you can have all the motor in the world but if the suspension doesnt match and she wont hook shes going no wheres but the tire store in a hurry. keep in mind to that if she starts to stand up on you you will need bump steering and the whole 9 yards for front end. we build our own subframe connectors tubular out of chromeoly 2 inches in diameter and you can put a jack underneath one and pick up both front and rear on that side in one sweep with a floor jack. they aint no joke, but your talking serious considerations like that when my subframe was shoved forward 7/8 of an inch after i tore all my torque boxes up and was still running like that. not good thats when you have to get a stang box and sht. keep a close eye on that stuff. look below at the video of my car leaving the line and pause and unpause repeadetly to get the slow motion effect and you will see what a damaged suspension will do. watch the back end collapse on top of the tire.
