Hey, Treed...


Carb or EFI....personal choice. I converted my 92 5.0 motor to carb. More period looking. With a 351 it might be easier to go carb. Fords crate 351 advertises at 385 HP.

Seat tracks cheaper from Summit.
heater try mike mack at tristates motors. He advertises here.
Wiper assy...try a marine shop. Supposidly better than the prince of darkness stuff.

Using offset bushings for the steering rack probably will not need bump steer kit.

I had the stock spring in the rear then changed over to the coil setup. I like it much better.

Using Factory Fives upper and lower rear arms is a toss up. You might want to look at the new 3 lonk setup. Eliminates wheel hop and improves handling.

Hard top for the FFR can be had from 2 sources. APE products in the Phoenix area and Norn Deeley from Florida. Both about the same price.

2 other options you might consider are replace the mustang rack with one from Flaming River. And, look into the FFR IRS system.

You might want to check these over on cobraforum.com.
