    Both are getting installed tomorrow along with the Rear Cobra/Bullitt Calipers, 3.55 FRPP gears and a speedo-cal.

    Tightening up the rear end. It was factory ,but not tight enough.
    Almost cobra conversion - Now for Motor and IRS...... LOoking around .

    Bah, I think you can make the live axle work better than an IRS with the PHB and TA. I could be wrong there. Good choice on putting the SVO cover on at same time...it's the perfect time to do it and a worthwhile thing to do. Let us know what you think...

    Yea if i were you bud i wouldnt go with the IRS system, Its good for a good ride but for performance you would be ahole lot better in getting a better hook up on the solid rear, Like a Panhard bar, Torque arm, full sub frames,


    IMO

    But do what you have to.



    HAHAHA,,, sorry i didnt read all of devil's post.....

    Sorry devil... i just did a repost.

    I do like the feeling of the IRS, but since I put the PHB on, I really wonder how the TA would feel. Now = ... TA = ?

    Wait till you get that old diff cover off, you should see that thing...hehe thin piece of shiiiiiiiiiiiiza

    guy's I think I would have better luck with the 32V motor then installing an IRS in the Roush. I dont really want one either. But it is what i am short of now for a full cobra conversion.

    After these mods it will be time to enjoy them for a while and for the winter. The next will probly be a chip to raise the rev & speed limits.

    Beside i will have to be good for 500 miles and then the devil will come out of me.

    Looking for another Mt. Hamilton run......How about it Kev,Eric,Jesse and others....???
