I finished my 67 Shelby build last week and fired it up. It’s now down off jack stands and I changed the trailer tires to my Hoosier 27” front tires. It looks fantastic except the front bumper is now below my knees. I’m not as tall as certain Mopar racer so this is a real problem. I bought the Moog front springs years ago and can’t find my notes but they measure up the same as the 8088 springs. Most of the 60’s Ford stuff is discontinued so what are some of you big block mustang racers using to get the headers out of the weeds?
8088’s are 259lb inch with 1540 load.

You can call Marty Rinehart for springs. Landrum springs are the go to for alot of Fords. Probably gonna need 200s to 250s, but Marty will be able to help you with that. He will ask you for the weight on the front of the car, so if you don't have it, you should try to borrow a set of scales.

Looks like you need a skid plate underneath the oil pan. With the 3.993”stroke it going to get up in the air, it’s the falling back to earth that scares me. Good luck it looks great.
