Love the Mustang LS swaps... it's just fun seeing people get so pissed off about it. Good luck with the build!

6.50 in the 1/8th with c-clips ??....Here at Roush thats a no no.....Also we use double adjustable rear control arms with solid aluminum bushings.....Also your going to wish you had double adjustable rear arms so you can get the slicks in the center of the wheel opening.....With my 28x10.5x15 slicks i only have about .500-.750 per side clearance....if the upper arms where double adjustable then you could set pinion angle vary easy.........if your using a smaller shorter tire you should be fine....

Also what oil pan ?........the truck pans hang to low.......also the cheap muscle car pan hangs to low..........i think you can use the Ls1 f-body pan and maybe the CTS-V pan....maybe..

Also how old is the teamz Ls k-member ?? Good thing your using a th400.....the second one they made a 60e or 80e or t56 don't fit......

Great videos that guys can learn from...good job...

Also

99-04 rear 8.8 is 56.5"

94-98 rear 8.8 is 55"

79-93 rear 8.8 is 53.5"

79-93 and 94-98 use the same length housing but with different axles....

I want to use 26s most likely, and if it requires rolling the fenders or cutting the inner fender well, im more than happy to do that. I used the control arms that i did because they were so cheap lol.the budget is the most important thing since NOTHING gets done without it. Im not too worried about the c clip situation, As the Strange 31 splines are fairly rugged... there are guys here dragging the bumper, 1.1 60 ft with 4 lug 31 spline stuff... I wouldnt do it if i didnt think it would hold. the K member is brand spankin new, as are all the suspension parts. i did notice the LQ4 oilpan is quite low...that worries me a little... Ill change it if I ever smack it on the strip lol. ive got some expreince the 4L60Es and 80Es, i know a couple guys using them in foxbodys.. also know a couple guys using the T56s with Thunderbird turbocoupe pedals... tuns out the rear end that i have is a turbocoupe rear end. i know its a little wider, but the strange axles are for a fox rear end, so they are in a little more than they would be... turbo400 is just too tough for me to not use it...itll take a TON of abuse. thanks for watching the vids!!!! the whole point was to learn as I go, do it cheap, and prove to everyone how fast you can go without being rich... hopefully I help prove that!!! keep following along! it getting lighter and lighter btw

It's not that the Strange splines aren't up to it; the C-clips STILL AREN'T.

ah, gotcha... well if come upon some super cheap eliminators, Ill be putting them on! i dont want yall to think im a know-it-all... I most certainly dont lol. the whole point is to go fast, drive it home, and LEARN!! as they say, BUILD IT-RACE IT-BREAK IT-FIX IT-RACE IT AGAIN-BREAK IT AGAIN lololol.
