Ask the Ford guys. I would guess since 289 and 302 are the same block, 63-86?(I really don't know Fords like Glenn)

As far as I know, yes, but something to check. I'll put this in the questions section. I see this car being run at street legal, TNT, private track days and *maybe* PSCA.

We could always get some cut-outs. That way we can go either way. We can just get the cheap manual ones, not the electronic ones.

Open headers? You wimps. Why not zoomies? I can cut two slots in the hood for each row of tubes.

No I'm not kidding.

That'll match the Rebel Flag theme nicely. . .

So, as long as you guys can wait until I get back from this deployment (mid-November) AND I can find an IRS for a decent price for the Mustang - the rear-end from her is definitely available for the project...

Don't go to an IRS on your car. You can make your car handle just as good with the solid axle and it will be a lot stronger.

Ben, if you want to upgrade to a solid 8.8 I can check with GTR and see if they have one laying around.

If you could get a quote, I'd be curious. Currently I have the stock IRS fully dropped and disassembled. I still have a hankering to harden it with Delrin/UVHM/Solid mounts and bushings and use it.
