Seems the 87-93 Mustang would be a better choice. I don't see where the T-Bird would have an advantage.

The big disadvantage to the Fox T-Bird is racing suspension parts are harder to find ( upper and lower rear control arms are different than a Mustang)
I ended up taking Mustang parts and cutting them up and lengthen them to fit.
It's just more economical to build a Fox Mustang especially since the used parts market is flooded with parts
Is NHRA allowing the use of aftermarket tubular style rear control arms now or did you modify the stock Mustang arms?
