Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
Here's some sub frame connectors to look at, My 68 has Total Control/ChassisWorks connectors but they don't make them for the newer cars.

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
Thanks Dale - Not sure how the weight falls on these cars when gutted...class minimum will be 3300 pounds. Don't know the pros or cons of a moly vs mild steel roll bar in this instance...not wanting to spend money on parts that don't make a difference if you know what I mean. This entire endeavor will be based on the best bang for the buck if feasible. I would also like to find out if it is possible to claim this car as a '89 and what would be needed to do so...would drop weight to 3225 and hp factor to 215.

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
The Stock Car Classification Guide puts the 90 convertible LX at 3168 and the GT at 3197 shipping weight. 302/225, right?

Let me go check the NHRA site for changes... Edit - It appears there was a hp hit across the board for the 302 (225hp). Whats confusing now is the weight is greater for the '89 than for the '90...was reversed.  '89 - 3394 pounds '90 - 3312 pounds I guess it was because the '89 gained 10hp from 215 whereas the '90 only gained 5hp from 220. Lol...this is all wrong dammit...there were no changes for Stock.

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
Looks like a fun project, good luck. You might want to contact a friend of mine who is on this forum. He has a 89 mustang convertible that he runs in P/SA. He also has a 92 lx coupe that he runs in SS/MA. The stocker is usually around the .500 under mark and he does it on a budget. His user name is fordteacherguy and his real name is Brian Thompson. PM him and he will help anyway he can. Brian is very knowledgeable and a very nice guy to talk with. Can probably give you some advise to help save money. Good luck.
