[SeventyMach1]

To all, Thank you for the info and suggestions. I am wanting to build something a little different that what everyone else is currently offering which is why I was thinking of maintaining the XKE front and rear. My torsion bar mounts have been moved up more inside of the main frame rails to minimize ground clearance problems so should work better than the under frame style. I will ask about converting it to Mustang II for all the reasons mentioned tho. I could still use a dollar figure on what I should expect to pay for the front and rear suspensions. I have a stroked 428 for it and several options for the transmission. I have a toploader as well as C-4 and C-6, but am thinking of going with a T-600 6-speed. Any recommendations on transmissions? Is there a length issue with different transmissions and driveshaft/differential angles and/or lengths which anyone has experience with and found solutions? I plan on driving in recreationally and a few times a year at local track events hence the independant rearend. I have contacted Tom at E-M, visited with him by phone and exchanged some emails, but am waiting for more information. The only rear ends I have found have inboard discs. Is there a company that converts these to outboard? I have contacted my state DMV and replica/kit cars are not too hard to title here.
Thanks again.
Don
