[QUOTE="GeorgiaSnake, post: 13471159, member: 113703"] here is some front suspension tips. Use Boss 302 front coils cut exactly 1 coil. also relocate the upper A arm 1" higher in the tower. There is a template for this that you should be able to Google and get a hold of. I did this 2 mods to my 65 coupe and I built it just for autocross. While at it if you are going to keep the original type of steering setup you can quicken is a bit by getting the power steering gearbox and adding the Shelby quick steering kit. Maier Racing used to sell this kit. Basicly its a different pitman and idler arm. another thing to consider is the rearend. Now what I used may be hard to find but if you can find it you will be better off. 1957 Ford Fairlane stationwagon rearend. That is the narrowest rearend Ford ever produced and it is a direct bolt in swop. Only thing you have to change is the parking brake cables. This is the same thing Shelby did with the racing GT 350's back in 1965. I also used a 4.11 Detroit Locker, I recommend a Locker for autocross over the standard type of limited slip rearend. I did all this and more to my 65 and the last year I raced it I took C/P class regional 1st place in the South Carolina Region of the SCCA.
