If you read the posting, is the suspension from Bill's other Mustang; a 1998 SN95.

I have been debating with myself if I wanted to bump this project up a few classes, as of now it still remaines a "stock" eliminator.

With that being said it will have a stock 71 mustang front suspension which consits of upper and lower control arms with the spring and shock exactly as produced by ford for the 71 model year

It will stay as a stocker...getting all the new metal to fit is a royal pain in the....

Just when you think you know everything about everything, something always comes along to prove you wrong.....the first thing to do with any "restoration" is write down all the measurements before taking it all apart...I did not do that :mad:

The Diamond Boss pistons 80071 have been added to the accepted products list but they have them listed in flat top section

Diamond 80026 has been added also. those are flattops and the 071's are pop ups

Going to have to get NHRA to correct the listing as they had to with the part number of the block

Re: Boss Mustang stocker
 

What a long strange trip this has been....as I mentioned earlier I did not like the fitup between the firewall and offshore front end sheetmetal. also, I could not blast the inside of the door pillars, and the torque boxes that the frame/cage attached too showed to much "rot" in them so........new firewall, cowl/kick panels, inner rocker panels and new torque boxes fabbed up. (the inner rocker is now .100 thick as opposed to the factory .040, and the firewall is really a bargain as it has the upper torque box/plate already attached)

By the time I repaired the damage to the bottom of the original firewall, filled all the holes, got the other parts to fit...I was hours and dollars ahead with the new piece
