I thought i would share this with all of you, It sure dazzled me. As some of you know, I build Sammys here in Manitoba and have a good selection of parts. So this directs alot of people my way. Well last night I worked on a 58 Morris Minor which was sitting on a 84 SJ410 chassis. This car was still running the 410 diffs and installed under the hood was a 4.3Lout of an Astro van with the auto tranny /w O.D. He is running it as a 2WD at the time because he put the motor too low and can't install the front drive shaft. This car is also has a SPOA and just 235/75/15s on Ford rims under it and it still sits higher than most Sammys. After i fixed the problem he was having we went for a ride and I swear this THINGwill stay with 5.0l Mustangs with out any trouble and alos behaves well in the corners. I am going to get a couple of pics from him and post them so you all can have a look. I was very impressed by this Thing and thought you all might get a kick out of it too. I hope to have the Pics befor the weekend but if not i'll get them right after and post them for you. Oh and i forgot ... he is going to do whatever it takes to make it a 4WD as soon as possible.
