It's looking like mini it is...I already have built rear...33 spline and a wave track.  If I recall it's mustang lenght..been on the shelf a while.
I'm gonna do a double bead lock. ..can't go past 4.5 backspace.
Worst case I'll shorten up the rear.
Thanks guys

I'll be sure to get Teflon lined.
Did the covers come with you arms or did you buy them separately?
I live in a rural area...not the cleanest roads around so those sound like a great idea.

Thanks for input guys
I'm replacing my upper and lower boxes
I'm not d/d' ing my car ....I'm looking for bird to hook hard and straight. My concern was if I had to replace my sphericals every year or not. 2500 miles and no issue is good enough for me.
Are you lubing the sphericals constantly?

Thanks guys!
Ford made the wheel wells larger in 87-88?
Anyone know off hand the actual measurement on difference between the 86 vs 87?

That's what I'm looking forward to once again.
Unfortunately the original drivetrain in the 85 is trashed. So I'm waiting for my transplant to be complete.
I get alot of 20 something year olds asking me
 what car is that?

My 86 had very wide tires on the rear, Firehawk F1's on 16" CSA'S. I can't remember the size tho...they were the rain tires for firehawk racing series. I got a set from my buddy's dad who was the mechanic on team. 20 years ago anyhow, I know they were a short tire. I'll get under it and measure best I can...worst case scenario I mini it and throw a bigger tire under it.

I will be using offset LCA's and I have a slightly narrowed rear so sounds like I should be good once I figure out my backspacing for my setup.
Thanks for your input Haystack

Where you rubbing on inner wheel well?
Do you think you could have corrected it with changing back spacing of rim?
Thanks
