The only mods I had to make had to do with fitting the 4.6. If you're installing a regular small block you won't need to change a thing.blk 02 said:What kind of modified parts were required for the heidt's MII?? I will be puting one of these setups in my car some time in the near future. Just wondering if there is any tips or pointers you might point out before I order one up.
Thanks for the heads up

With the car stripped, it takes me about 40 hours start to finish. That's with being really anal about the measurements and every little detail, and spending a lot of time on fitment and surface prep to get nice welds. I could probably do it in half the time and have it function fine, but not look nearly as clean and finished.Renato said:Reen-
How many hours would you say that it took to put in the MII front conversion/set up?
Thanks!
ps. sticky please!
Well, it's got a Currie Trac-Loc 9", 31-spline Strange axles, and monster U-joints. The Currie solid axle setup with basically the same specs is rated to 600+ horsepower conservatively, and I bet that this would be similar. The only semi-unknown is the U-joints and halfshafts, and I'm in the process of just doing the calculations myself to be able to answer this question. Heidt's can't answer it -- they just say "well, nobody's ever called us claiming they broke one."70vert said:Reen,
What kind of horsepower do you suppose you could throw at the Heidt's? It seems like the limit would just have to do with whatever you throw in the 9" rear, but do they have any type of rating for the half-shafts or U-joints?
If it turns out I can actually afford it, (ha!) I'm seriously thinking about an IRS after my floor pans are done. In my dreams I'd like to have a low-compression 351w/408 under the hood approaching 500hp, and supercharge it later if I ever want something extra.
thanks,

That would be fantastic! Email me and we'll do it.no_3 said:Nice dude!!
If it helps, I'm a graphic designer and the font is called 'Eurostyle Bold extended'. If you want I'll set it for you and supply it as a vector graphic. Just tell me what you want set.
That goes for anybody at Stang net the Mustang font is Called 'Bookman Bold' and if anyone needs anything set I'd be glad to help.
It only takes $120k but a $30k tip would be nice if you insist65mistress said:Sweeeeeet
If I had a spare $150,000 lying around you would be the first call.
I use the Ron Morris cable clutch conversion. It's the only one that I've seen that uses the original hole in the firewall vs. drilling a new one higher up. It took a little "out of the box" thinking on his part, and it works great. The kit is extremely high quality and comes with absolutely everything you need.Glen's 1965 5.0 said:Renn,
I might have missed it, but which cable system are you using? Any pics of the pedal mounting hardware?
Thanks.. This is some really nice craftsmanship you have there.
