Guys is there a kit or anyway possible that I’ll be able to keep my A/C and especially my sway bar? I want to build a car that can take turns as well as straight line performance.
Thanks ahead of time.

cg fab new kit retains away bar, ac, and power steering.

Sent from my SM-G991U using the svtperformance.com mobile app
That’s Cool to know.
I’m assuming it’s not been added to their website or it’s on Facebook.
Either way, in my head for STREET turbo kits, it’s Hellion or CG Fab.
Front sway bar isn’t as big of a loss as people make it out to be unless you’re doing serious curves or canyons, but keeping AC and PS is a huge plus on a fun street car.
I haven’t seen CG Fab in a few years but they were pretty good when I’ve seen them.
I love turbos but it’s hard to argue the PD blower simplicity.

Just got the email from ford that they were unable to locate any 5.8 aluminum gt500 blocks. So it looks like it’s going to be a built teksid coming but I still want to use the 2KR cylinder heads so there might be a crazy intake setup coming. But definitely looking to do something different what that looks like I don’t know yet.

Have you called JDM to see if they have any 5.8 blocks?
Good luck.

Bummer.
A well built Teskid block can go a long way. See J. Milhovetz/Accufab racing!
