    ok so found out its not the best idea to run without the stabilizer bar/damper so im going to get a dual sump mustang pan so it will clear with no problems and probably run the stock manifolds anyone got a dual sump pan for sale for a 302?

    altezzas are the tail lights that where one of the first aftermarket lights to come out i think and they are this nasty looking chrome in the inside with red circles there is two with one clear and the lens on the outside fads in like 6 months to a yellowish color. There cheap. But thats just my 2 cents on them.:doah:

    They're also called euro tails. But the first custom tail lights I remember is the clear lenses.

    Craigslist bro! Got mine for 15 bucks, AND it was drilled and tapped for a oil return for a blower...:evil:

    I think "fox body" headers come out of the head too far. (too far out the sides). Im thinking of running the old (like 67 mustang) 289 K code exhaust manifolds. they are being reproduced and about 250 ish. They are bigger and flow better than non-K code mustang headers. But they are cast iron.

    yeah i think thats probably what i will need to do too cause when i had the dhp arms on there they had alot camber and had to take most of my shims from both sides and put them on one just to get the passenger side aligned right

    I had so much positive before I flipped the cross shafts. But I still get some after the shims but mostly on the driver side. It caused alot of wear on the outside of my tire
