Danielg,

When I started my E-M build I selected the torsion bar setup as an option. The only reason I didn't follow through was that the coilover setup on that frame gave about 1-1/2" extra ground clearance.

The lowest point on the Jag torsion bar setup was the rear mount for the torsion bar itself. Dunno if the CCX frame mounts are any higher or not.

Still have the Jag parts: spindles, A-arms, PS rack, bars etc.

The Jag was one of the better handling cars in the 60s, so if CCX didn't screw up the geometry, their cars should be good road and track cars.

PS: If you use the Corvette diff, be sure to use the Dana 44 that came with the stick cars. The Dana 36s can be easily killed by a small block...
