I couldn't help but think this is some new wave jungle gym for kids.

Default lengths

I may need a few lengths, since my little old motor is only 358 cubes

Don't talk to me about "only 358 cubes".

You guys rock! You don't always get to choose your customers, but I can tell you, so far we have been really fortunate to have such terrific support from ours.

Hey, now this could be cool. Jason, Clay, Jakey, my 70, all gunning for it. Er, I think I might need to get some more motor-vation for the 70! In all honesty, it would be really tough to pull off a true direct comparison, I think the only way to do it would be to have one single car to test the setups on. We have looked at a number of things to try to do this, but I think our only real recourse is to let our setup stand on its own. All of the cars we have worked on are/will be incredible, and we have very, very lofty expectations for the 70 in terms of road holding and handling.

There is this one particular car we heard about that we really, really want to work with. The choice of powerplant will really test the waters in terms of being a "pure American" muscle car.

BTW, the retail on the kit is currently $3600. It includes the crossmembers, control arms, sheet metal closeouts that Jake showed, rod ends/bushings, Watt's link, and the main piece: fully welded 9" Ford based axle housing. No need to send yours out for bracket fitment. We don't include the center section/posi unit, axles, shocks/springs, or brakes because there are WAY too many different configurations, no one size fits all. We are full dealers for Strange Engineering, are working closely with Wilwood and will be dealers soon, and are also working with a very exciting company for high performance shocks and springs that should be a very compelling package. If you wish to source parts elsewhere, no problem here at all, we will help you select exactly what you need.

We have designs ready to go for the first and second generation F body GM cars, and also for the big gorgeous B-Body Mopars. Soon will be early Mustangs, E-body Mopars, and early Chev II's (particularly interesting...). Front stuff being prototyped now too, we are pretty busy.

Mark

Just wanted to add that this kit works with 3 1/2" exhaust over the axle too. 4" is possible, but would be quite the squeeze.

That looks awsome!!! When will it be road tested or has it??? I'd have to say I'm looking for a rear set-up soon and I'll be thinking of that for sure!!
