427 Cobra rear suspension and Spicer half shafts

[my427cobra]

Thanks Dominik. Great info.

But I'm not sure what you did here:

"Assuming 5" ground clearance, then your differential/axle shaft outlet is 5" + 2" + 5.25" above ground = 12.25""

I understand hat 5" is the ground clearance.

What is the 2" and 5.25"?

You're probably wondering what the heck I'm up to.

I'm going down the path that Tom started in a previous posting to use a Corvette C3 differential in a 427 Cobra chassis.

My car is a replica and I am scratch building an IRS for it (just because I like doing that stuff) and wanted help confirming the dimensions.

Another question though.

The Cobra uprights appear to have some castor built in to the UCA mount, but a heim (spherical) joint up there would probably wipe out any castor.

What castor does the 427 Cobra rear upright run at?

I'm about 3/4s done the mock up of the IRS and should have it done in a couple of weeks.

Thanks again for all your help.

Cheers
Greg
