if you have to replace the whole pan check into the stang box. mine went in like a glove and she hooks like crazy now. no more wheel hop or anything.

check whenever you can my man, i thought mine wasnt too bad and when we got her on the lift it scared me from going back to the track until it was fixed. you lose that rearend and she will go where she wants. dont want to see you or the car hurt, especially you.

i've heard alot about these stang boxes, where can i get one? or do i have to custom make one myself?
