all the parts are there.
You will need to weld in inner trailing arm mounts (IRS Conversion Clips) you will need spring plate eliminators and you will need trailing arm with all the necessary stuff. Not to mention bushings and so on and so forth. Give Dans Performance a call im sure they will point you the right direction
bigger cars have diffrent driving styles. The small light 2 seaters match dunefreaks driving style to a T.. not to mention the slot car fun factor. These things turn on a dime and are real duning cars. Bigger cars dune well but take a diffrent finess and some dont turn near as well as these short and light 2 seaters.
The guy posts a bit of helpful advise and you get your panties in a twist. There are no favorites here and there is no "IN" crowd as you put it. Man and i was just thinking that drama was gone as i havent heard anyone say that in at least 3 seasons...
Sorry u feel that way bud but it is the internet and everyone has thier opinions and we treat everyone with as much respect as possible.. but what can you do.. cant please everyone.
next time pull the rad and grill and save yourself some time its quicker
IF you ever do a timing chain set be prepared to replace the pan gasket as well.. Ford loves those 3 piece gaskets that never seal and are pretty much destroyed when you pull the timing cover. And the auto parts places usually only carry the one piece pan gasket. That means looseining the motor mounts trans and jacking the motor UP to get the pan off to do the gasket. Been there done that and never wanna do it again. A total PITA in the driveway!!
With the car being that small i bet you would be fine. Ross tried killing his trans because it was in need of a rebuilt and was a 091 behind a turbo honda.. he ended up cookin the turbo and motor before the trans lol
