1990 Mustang...

Well here's an update on the car...

The motor turned out to be offset a little... And the crank centerline was too high... So the motor plate wasn't useable and needed to be redone...

The motor is true in the car and the plate I had wouldn't work... So it needed to be realigned... And needed a new plate...


The midplate was able to be reused without a problem...

Then engine limiters were made for the motor...


The oil pan also needed to be clearanced a little for the new rack and mounts... It was too high a little bit since it was a dry sump pan original made for a Sprint car...


Now in the back of the car a bar was ran from the cage to the coilover bar to help brace it...


Now there was also a bar ran from the coilover bar to the parachute mount to help re-enforce it for the dual parachutes....


Driveshaft loops were also installed... Two of them...




Now first before I go into this next part... If someone at Chassis Engineering reads this... I have a honest to god question that nobody in your shop still can answer... How can you guys sell a "Wheelie Bar Kit"... With no Wheelie bar wheels?! And this is suppose to be your top of the line kit too..

Now on to the bars... They are going to be 90inches long... The bars are made out of 1-1/2"x.065 moly tubing and all of the brackets are also moly. It uses 5/8'' thread x 1/2" hole moly rod ends all around...


And the wheels that don't come in the kit...



Master cylinder was suppose to be put in the floor but can't be due to one of the cage bars running across the floor... So for now it will be in the stock location...

Awesome Reiko! I can't wait to see this done.

Are you expecting late this season or early next?

I scratched this season off the list... I'm going to do some more work on the engine bay and other area's first... It will look pretty tricked out though...

If that's a before and after with the motorplate where it was to where it is now I doesn't look any lower to me. Just more to the left.

It's more to the left and not crooked a long with not being as high up... It's a lot different... The motor was also brought alittle forward...
