I agree with everything DanEC said on the rear set up. My E-M is a 1991 vintage with an XJ-6 BPL (British Positive Lock) rear end. The half shafts are serious upgrades and are handling the 625 lb ft of torque from the KC 482 I'm running. My suggestion is to look at converting the front end to a Mustang II. Not sure how you would do this but they are so common, it would be worth the effort at this early stage of the build in my opinion. I'd try to contact E-M in Houston but you will need to be persistent as they aren't the most responsive bunch since being bought out and moved from Florida.

As far as the build manual, It's a nightmare.......................
