Dave hope things are good with your mom. It was good to visit with Mary.
O.K. the Mustang's rear suspension where to start, the simple answer is it is torque arm 3-link with a panhard bar. Now for the long answer, the car is powered by a 590 horse Roush small block so we needed a 3" exhaust system and with the car being a soft top we also needed to run the exhaust to the rear of the and not out the side like on the fastback, also needing to maintain a 20 gallon fuel tank (car must have a 250-300+ range). So to get the 3" exhaust and not cut into the tank the leaf springs had to go. We used a Total Control torque arm and DSE rear trailing arms and panhard bar and we built mounting brackets. From there we mounted the coil-overs and linked them to the rear axle housing via 2 sets of rocker arms per side.

Just lucky!
Skip we built a side exit exhaust system with a X-pipe, a pair race bullet mufflers, a pair of custom Bassani muffle with the inlets and outlets on the same in and exiting through 4" oval just in front of the rear wheels. This set up along with built 351 just makes music.

Thanks Kevin.

Looks like a great combo.

Maybe someone will record it and post it.
