Thanks for the replies:
Walter - I'm putting the car together now and have no track information at this time. I believe the car will weigh 2700 lbs. without driver 440/727/dana60. The car will have a race only interior and lightenend panels/lexan etc...

Adam - thanks for your reply.

Prostreet - We have a guy that I talked to who runs the Magnum kit in his 68Barracuda. I had the same issues with the width. I thought it had something to do with the hub adaptors and the Wilwood disks.

I will look into the other kits you guys mentioned as I like the tubular looks but have other needs as well. Ted.

I got a great deal on a complete magnum force tubular front end, 'was too good to pass up." I needed to rebuild everything in the front of my basket case 68 form S fastback anyway. I run a motor plate, and built some strut rods that attach to the lower control arms, about the same length as the stock ones. Also use the upper strut bars that are attached to the firewall and the frame up by the radiator, w/ 2 attaching points to the shock towers, one on the shock bolt itself, and the other on the top of the shock tower. I have had no problems w/ the wheels being too wide. I switched the coil over springs out to 350lbs springs , recommended by mag. force. The only trouble I`ve had are the springs sagging a bit, I need to adjust them a hair .----jfyi
