DOES THE HDK SUSPENSION K-MEMBER HANDLE BETTER THAN A T-BAR SUSPENSION?

sometimes....you have to start from scratch. Butch's next build. Whippled 6.4 Gen III / HDK built 28", 2 to 2-1/8" primaries step headers / TCI 6-speed automatic / recessed firewall / raised floor / 9" Ford / 4--link.....all in a low to the ground 74 Duster with flat stock hood .....old school. Oh yeah, forgot....with windshield wipers and A/C.

TRIGGER warning......NOT built for handling but to haul ***. Ought to go 200MPH easily (not with me behind the wheel), Butch has made plans to wind tunnel test to make sure it doesn't "fly"

I forgot you were doing struts on that car.

One idle daydream I had awhile back was an S197 strut suspension swap. There was a '13 Boss at Ford Fest last weekend that was 0.8 seconds faster than Joe, assuming the autox course was unchanged. So they can handle. He was 9th, another S197 ('10 GT500) was 2nd.

Never looked into it, I am sure it would be an absolute bear.

I'd say a front and rear swap off an S550 would be smarter, but those things are wide. Fully half the top 10 LM cars at Ford Fest this year were S550 cars.
