tom,

good points!

the next chassis I will redesign the rear to get a similar set-up as on the 289, but with coil-overs.


the real challange building a 427 (or any car for that matter) is making the trunk and passenger compartment... - especially if you do not have any measurements.

whoever out there is planning to build a cobra with homemade chassis, I can only recommend using somebody elses existing body - with inner tubs!

mick,

with that upper a-arm length the 427 would have 11.7 degrees kingpin inlination
if it was 10.12" long instead of 8.62" the angle would be a reasonable 8 deg.

my own is longer to give me 7 degrees which is built into the upright I use..
