Upper Control Arm question
 
Was wondering if there are any 67-68 Mustang stock/super stock modifications/tricks for upper control arms on 67-68 mustangs.Getting ready to replace mine with new ones always looking to get the car to hook/transfer weight a little better.

I’m building a 67 Shelby and I was looking at what I needed for the front suspension.
Basically I threw away the entire 50yr old front end and went with all new parts.
Just changing the upper A arms may get you some benefit over the old ones but to get the most out of it each part would need to be optimized to work together for the best results.

If you are not ever going to run class, replace the stock front suspension with a rack and pinion setup that allows you to cut the shock towers out. Way easier to work under the hood. I try to keep my 68 coup SS leal for some dumb reason and I just hate changing plugs. Especially with the 351 style heads I have now. I've seen first gen Mustangs around the pits with Mustang II and Pinto racks, so you don't have to go full aftermarket.
BTW: Bracket cars are race cars too.
