Rear Suspension

I replaced the '65 Mustang K-code 9 in. rear end housing that I had under the car to an 8 in. from a '71 Maverick V8 to gain a much needed tire clearance. The Maverick's 3.00:1 gear was replaced with a 3.25 gear. The housing was painted satin black along with new axle bearings and seals. I used the 65 Mustang GT brake hose and lines from the 9 in. because both Maverick and Falcon brake hose were too short.

The local driveshaft shop made a 5/8 in. longer driveshaft to reach the 8 in. rear end.

I was telling people that I am the state champion in the wheel hop contest. I can't say that anymore. I modified the short 24.5 in. '67 Mustang Traction Master making them 30 inches long center to center. The front mount that came with the bars were cut up and drafted to a 3/8 in. plate that is welded to the sub frame connector.
