FE Technical Forum / Re: Detroit true trac vs Detroit locker ..
« on: December 12, 2017, 06:20:55 PM »
Thanks for the great feedback guy s , i am familiar with a Detroit locker as i am currently running one with 3.89 s , and my other center section is 3.50 s with a trac loc . the next center that i put together is prolly gonna be 3.70 s , i just need to decide locker or true trac and get it set up .. I will at some point visit the drag strip , but right now i am just enjoying the the overall driving experiance of a modernized coil over suspension , and rack @ pinion quick ratio steering and sticky tires and big disc brakes .. You guy s would be surprised how well these old cars can handle with with up dates to the suspension , and an fe with an aluminum top half , and alum radiator ,, again thanks forr the info .. Bud

Thanks for feedback Drew , im no where near the 600 hp range , prolly like 520 ish , sense im running 26 inch tall tires , i was wanting to run a little less gear then the 3.89 s , for every day use ,, save the 3.89 s for strip if i ever get there , lol .. thought about thrwing the 3.50 s in but the trac loc is not gonna hold up ..

FE Technical Forum / Re: Front suspension conversion on 67 Fairlane.
« on: July 01, 2017, 08:36:46 AM »
After a long time and plenty of reading , searching and study ng all i could find .. I rebuilt my 69 stang s suspension ,, first i did nt want to cut the shock tower s out , it s a Mach 1 ,, So i went with the Ride Tech front coil over , tubular control arm setup , i put the tower reinforcement plate on the tire side of the tower " a plate that st sits at 45 degree angle " old boss 302 road racing mod , it welds in .. The upper control arm has a 1 inch drop built in , no drilling of more holes required , the lower arm is all 1 piece , no front strut rod rubber bushing , its a solid bearing setup , both upper and lower are fully adjustable ,, they have R Q and H Q kits , ride quality and handling quality and ends up dropping the the front 2 inch s .. Very nice quality stuff . NEXT .. I used the Unisteer power rack kit , it replaces the bottm cross member , so it mount s behind a front sump pan , i already had FPA headers for ground clearance ,, the rack kit is very nice as well , i have good ground clearance between the suspension changes and , power rack setup .. NEXT ,, i put subframe connectors on the car , the rear 4 leaf rear spring was ditched , for 5 leaf mid eye spring , and a 3/4 inch lowering block , and put the shelby under rider trac bar , which is imo kinda like a 4 link , they locate the axle and minimize movement , control wheel hop , plant the rear .. NEXT .. I had new in the box Ford racing calipers for a 2003 cobra , bullitt , or mach 1 , and wanted to put them on the car , seached and found bracket kit s for front and rear , and installed on the car , with drilled and slotted rotors , had some brake lines made .. the front rotor is 13 inch s and the rear is 11.85 inch s , even the e brake cable fit ... I am very very pleased with this setup , the car drives , and handles like never before , steering is nice and responsive , car s stance is great , the car sits on vintage wheel works type 45 s , 17-8 front with 4.75 inches of back spacing , 17-9 with 5.5 inches of back spacing , running 245/45-17 s front and 255/50-17s in the rear ,,, the car stop s on dime and you some change ... I absolutely love how it drives and stops now ,, eventually will do the ride tech rear coil over kit , but the cars setup on the back now works .. Hope this helps with your suspension make over .. Bud

I dont of any that would hold up , they had problems living behind 5.0 s or 4.6 s , a tko 500 or 600 would be best ..Bud

Welcome to the forum , i currently run a blue thunder dual plane with a 3/8 inch phenolic spacer on my 428 in my 69 mach , and have a shaker and it works , it s pushed up proud for sure .. So im sure you could run a 1 inch spacer the holley intake , and prolly a 1 inch open spacer ..  so good luck with project .. Bud

3.50 s to 3.70 s with a TKO 600 with .82 5th .. the 3.50 s become 2.87 s and the 3.70 s become 3.03 s .. that will keep you around your w speed rating  on your tires on a full assault of the throttle , just a thought .. Bud
