What are your plans for the rear? Full floater 9" with a decoupled 3-link? Built 8.8" with an offset 3-link? Cobra IRS?

I have a 9" already, but I plan to convert it to a semi-floater similar to what speed tech offers with theirs that use the c6 SKF hubs. I will be using a SRT8 setup instead because the wheel bolt pattern is similar to a Ford. I'll redrill the hubs for 5x4.5 since the SRT8 bolt pattern is 5x4.527. That way when I need to replace rotors I can go to the parts store. The holes are oversized in the rotors that I can use the 5x4.5 bolt cirlce.

Great project. This is going to be one fun ride! Nice job on the lift fixture.

Small update. Fabbed up and tacked motor mounts in. Hope to finalize engine placement, then install both engine ans transmission so I can fabricate the transmission cross member.

What car did the 6 piston brembo setup come from?

The brakes are from a 2013 Shelby GT500. With my build, I'm trying to use stock parts where possible so I can go to the parts store/dealer in an emergency.

Very nice!

I love it!
Is the front suspension from a kit? What spindle does it use? and what master cylinder did you use? I have a 56 F100 Coyote with hydroboost [ 2000 mustang ] looking for options.

Peter, the front suspension kit is an Art Morrison Sport IFS. It uses the Wilwood Pro Spindle. The hydroboost and master came from an 03/04 mustang cobra. Hope that helps.
