Thanks Rob. The rear suspension isn't 100 percent in yet. The housing is bolted up to the control arms, watts link and push rods, but I need to cut the car off the cart to install the torque arm, which means I need to put it on the lift, and I figured I would so I can get a couple of things done when it goes on the lift.
Todd, I could never really put a Chevy in a Ford. We both know resale would be atrocious, and the only other reason to do so would be to go fast for cheap. The upfront savings would definitely be lost down the road, and with me behind the wheel the going fast logic is lost as well. It really doesn't make sense from any perspective, really.
I am looking forward to the mod motor though. It will get bolt ons and possibly a set of cams that have met Ford Racing's 150,000 mile durability standards. It won't be the most powerful engine but I am much more confident that it will be able to take abuse better than the worked over LS engines I've had.
