hi guys,

i need some measurements from an early V8 car.

we have a 6 cyl 66 Mustang that i just measured;

inside frame rails 27.5"
center link 22"
tie rods 12.5


could someone with a V8 car please tell me what the center link
and total tie rod lengths are ? please measure the tie rod center to
center. disregard the bends in the tie rod.


i've made a lot of progress and will be giving a more detailed update
in a few days...

thanks, "for evil to triumph,

hi guys,

measurements from different year Mustangs would be good.

i'm trying to figure out how to make this conversion as generic as possible.
i've got full scale drawings started and this helps work out the
geometry...

I would totally measure it for you if my car wasn't 2hrs away.
I have been following your progress and look forward to seeing results.
