I bought the same K-member and mounts for my SN95 as well. Are you using the stock a-arms? What's the rest of the front suspension consist of? SN95 steering rack? Which radiator do you plan on running? Any info is greatly appreciated.

I can only hope mine turns out this clean. Will be awesome to see it done.
Right now i have the stock A arms with AJE spring perches. I think i have BMR springs up front. I might go with coil overs. Haven't picked a radiator yet. Ill keep this updated as i progress. Haven't worked on it in a week or so. I think i am building the fuel system next.

Nice I'm planning a new edge mustang build as we speak was thinking of a 6.0 s480 race housing and a glide BUT I also wanna be able to drive it anywhere without issue so I think I may use a 6speed

6 speeds are fun, but super expensive for the power you'll make.

What about a 4L80E?

Really, 6 speeds aren't that more expensive than fully built 4l80e and a nice converter. You may break more because they are harder on drivetrain, but a built manual is not that much more expensive than a built auto overall.

If my 94 GT doesn't sell, I want to swap a lq4 into it. I'm curious about the steering rack too. Beautiful build. Will the factory gauges work or are you going racepack?

I had the Moser 9" ends welded on my 8.8 and whats nice is you can have the stock caliper brackets modified (with a mill) to allow the reuse of all the stock braking equip. You will lose the quad shock mounting brackets.

I think i am just going to do the c clip eliminators, a spool and 35 spline axles.

Haven't had a ton of time to work on the car with work and the blizzard we got.




Today i put in an order for the holley EFI stand alone and the rest of the fuel components. Should have some solid progress coming soon.

Yeah I'm too cheap for the dominator. I'm waiting on my dominator dual fuel pump though to finish the fuel system, hopefully by next week I guess they are back orderd.
