On Black Heartbeats and Pizza's suggestions, I am going to pick up some traction aids in the next few days.

Relocation brackets (bolt in)
Adjustable Control arms
Adjustable Panhard
Adjustable TQ arm

I know the TQ arm needs to be adjustable but at only 400 wheel HP does the pan hard and control arms need to be adjustable as well.

Already purchased the

End links
Poly Bushings
SLP Lowering springs (more for looks)

its not about horsepower its about the correct angles of all your suspension pieces. lowered the car? stock rear? you Might get away with non adjustable lower control arms. But the rear end is going to shift over due to the car being lowered and you NEED an adjustable pan hard bar to bring it back to center. and you also need to look into a relocation front tranny cross member. it takes the torque arm off the tranny so no more broken mounts. And allows you to properly angle it in the front to keep the instant center correct. it Might not be needed. but it will help your 60 foots.

Yeah adj is well worth the extra money. Looking good man. I used to recover seats for Bournes auto center in Easton while I was running the detail department. Def a good thing to learn.

Parts ordered (all are adjustable LCA, hardpan, relocate bracket, TQ arm and ploy bushings) for $616.73, not that bad. I went with the Founders Stuff, lots of good reviews and cheap too. Thx for the imput.

Headers are out, more parts on order, namely poly engine mounts and better hardware/ gaskets. Oh ya, pressure regulator and better in tank pump. Adam (Black Heartbeat) has been awesome, thx man for all the help. It's to the point where the car has become "our" project not just mine.

This is the result I am hoping for (only with an LT).............
