The rear has QA1 single adjustable with 2013 CJ springs, Metco lower control arms with Metco adjustable upper. Front is stock struts with stock springs....I had to take the CJ springs out of the front cause it was way to low with race stars on. And I removed the front sway bar

Do you have more info on the th400 setup. That is what I'm planning to do. I am building my motor and a 2.8 mammoth setup.

very nice car CameronVic, I like how you kept everything to a certain performance level and nothing is out of place.. like the blower isn't way to big or the suspension underdone.

fyi, the 3.73 gears resonate bad with the mustang 2011-2014. not sure why, smaller gears are quieter in these cars, the 3.73 screams like a world challenge racer.

Check with JPC and Beefcake for a turn key T-400 swap good to 1000RWHP. They both have a combo with 400/bell/flexplate and Custom converter to bolt right in. I did the 400 swap in my '04 Turbo Cobra and it was cake. I dropped the OG trans out and the 400 with Ultrabell bolts right up.

Maybe we got lucky then, or maybe his car is just so loud we can't hear it. We just ordered the cheapest used 3.73s off eBay and slammed em in. Perfect .009 backlash IIRC; we didn't check the pattern, that's for suckers.
