The reason why I am talking about this is to get the word out. Alot of people want to go fast at the track. I am building a Turbocharged 70 Maverick with stock
suspension, and looking to go 8's. So it is safe to say, I'm a bit off.
But I, along with a few people I know personally, have avoided early Fords for heads up, stock
suspension, type racing because there wasn't an available bolt on
suspension modification that was (tounge and cheek) affordable, bolt on friendly, and accepted by the racing sanctions. Now there is.
When I started my project ,a MII front
suspension wasn't and still isn't a legal option. So I spent every dime I could to get the front suspsion working right. Roller perches, Front spherical bearings, Strange brakes, notched towers, rear steer rack, blah blah blah. If this kit was out a year ago, I would have gone with it. But it wasn't so now I have to do things all over again.
There is a reason that the majority of the Fastest Street/Small tire type cars are Fox bodies. Because there is an aftermarket out there supporting those platforms. Here is some new technology to support our Early Ford platform, and I am glad to see it. Hopefully, others are too.
Sorry so long, I just want to make sure that its clear why I'm yapping so much.
Blown 65, I just wanted to add that I also have J bars coming out of my firewall, through the upper shock mounts, and down to the front frame. Since I am not turning any corners, that should firm things up nicely.
