Went with the grab a trak kit from mustangs plus. I have the suspension off and am about to do the Shelby drop. Can you all verify that my marks are in the correct place. I used the template from open tracker.

I got the new holes drilled. I think the bit may have drifted a little on one the passenger side holes cause when I try to reinstall the old upper control arm it sticks and I have to tap it into place. When I reinstall the upper on the drivers side it slides right into place. They both go in but the passenger side needs just a bit of pursuasion.

I'd add strut rod bushing too

Yeah I will be placing that order here soon. I am removing the engine this weekend so I will see what I am missing and need to order.

Looks like a fun project. Can't wait to see the progress.

I need some advice about a block on my local CL. What do you all think. I'm not at the motor stage yet but it seems like a good deal.

Are you in Houston? If so, hit me up, got a lot of parts and built mine from the ground up. I'd love to assist, just don't trust my suspension choices ...

Na I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Just saw this on CL and thought it looked like a good deal. Turns out that the block was closed out by Summit in the early 2000's for about $300.

OK I have actually been working on the car since I started the thread. I guess I will start with some of the parts I have purchased.
