Plans for a Mustang
I don't have a Mustang yet, but I'm searching around for a 69 Mustang Project Car. I'm only looking for a coupe so I shouldn't have too much trouble. I was planning on building a 429 SCJ to put in it. I'm not an expert on cars (I'm still learning), but my dad knows just about all there is to know. I was also going to upgrade the suspension. Just looking for some things that people would recommend looking into.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Plans for a Mustang
The first questions that needs to be answered are, what is your intended use for this Mustang. Drag racing? Street cruising? Car shows? And why a 429 SJC?
One you answer these questions, then our (the members of this Forum) answers and comments will be better suited for your car.

RE: Plans for a Mustang
I was planning to. I was looking at aftermarket springs and found a 620 and a 750 pound springs (I was planning to do the rear suspension as well). Which would you recommend? The engine will get full aluminum treatment to decrease as much weight from the front as possible. I'm not sure on the factory specs for the front suspension. Will the 620 work or should I shoot for the 750?
I was curious on any power upgrades I should consider looking into. Along with any other suspension upgrades to make it handle decently.
