Stock ride height
Does anyone have a pic or two of their stang at the stock height? My car seems to sit abnormally high and was curios how much higher than normal. I would think that with dropping a v8 in a v6 body the front would have dropped some. But it did sit a year or so without a motor at all and then it sat with just a long block without a tranny for about another 3. So I am thinking that it not having any wieght on it had something to do with it but the rear sits high too. What do you guys think?
If you are wondering the tires are 195 14r 70 all the way around. I know......skinny as hell but its all I had laying around that has any tread on them.

RE: Stock ride height
The motor is in it lol.
I've been driving it pretty much every day for the last 2 weeks. I have a 306 with iron heads backed by a c4. I have taken out the rear seat, the carpet, the sound deadening, and have the bare minimum in the engine compartment. Those pics are today with a full tank of gas. I do still have power steering and a clutch fan. I can only imagine how much of a drop it would be if I was to throw on some lowering springs. lol[8D]

RE: Stock ride height
Mine isn't much higher than yours it doesn't seem. You do have a bigger wheel but your wheels and tires are not much taller than mine all together. What size tires are on yours?
Nice job cleaning up that interior too
