Today we ripped out the drum spindles, sway bar and steering components to test fit the engine. The great news is that it will fit under the hood, so that rocks. Danny then showed up with his mobile welding rig and cut out all the steering mounts and motor mounts, then ground everything down nicely. Totally awesome, he just jumped right in.
I reversed the spindles and had SP send over a Mustang II steering rack to see if I could make it work. We are going to reinforce the backside of the crossmember and then essentially make it straight across on the front side. We will build in the mounting for the rack on the frontside and make it as straight as possible to minimize bumpsteer. I am going to have to get creative for a swaybar solution.
All-in-all and amazing day of progress!
