Build thread- 73 duster, forged 5.7 w/ PS and AC, 5 spd, big brakes and floater rear
Figured I'd update the tread with some pictures.
Picked the ride height, set the pinion angle, made sure the driveshaft fit, made rear brake caliper brackets, used CTS-V pads on the viper calipers (which is the size of pad used on the ACR-X), installed the rear sway bar, got the AC Condenser, Oil Cooler, and power steering cooler mounted, and mounted new seats. Here's a few pics:
Ride height (this height gives 3" of compression in the front before metal on metal - no bump stop installed at the moment):
Rear 14x1.25" coleman rotors with viper calipers and CTS-V pads (0.3" taller than regular viper pads):
A nice pic my sister took:
Still need to change the wiper motor to a 3 speed so the hilborn fits, fit exhaust mid pipes, run fuel lines, brake lines, oil cooler/accusump lines, hydraulic clutch lines, radiator hoses, make a top radiator mount, and wire the entire car, including the megasquirt 3x harnesses.
