Really ? Four link & coil over? I like this setup, on Chevelles & 5.0's. How well, does it hook?...
 
Works alot better then the leafs and cal-trac's that was on it before, not to mention 1st time out with the turbo it bent both leaf springs and the dive shaft hit the floor! We just put over 300 miles on it and the ride is 100 times better!
 
Dying to learn more about your build and hopefully see more pics. You have us Early A guys (at least me) hanging in suspense.
 
Here are a few upgrades, hope to go to the dyno next week!

Interesting. I have friends with low 9 second mustang twin turbo and cal tracs was fine. Was told by many tri 4 is for handling not racing. But maybe yours has more adjustment to adjust instant center. Did you sell the cal tracs?
 
Whats the A/R on that housing? It looks huge. Thats my next build....273 based though. collecting parts...and ideas :)
 
Yeah I had cal-trac's on it and it just road really rough, we have done several drag radial stock suspention mustangs that have done really well in racing so I decided to put what we had learned in to this, the ride quality is 100% better and it hooks very hard. I think the exhoust housing is a 1.15A/R not sure, I have a new gt45-80mm on the way!

That would definitely be cool. When my Dart is autocross ready in the next couple months, it'll be running some boost so the 273 will be taken out. I've thought about doing a basic rebuild on the 273 and throwing it in an early-A, possibly with some boost.
 
Back together, fired it off and it sounds great! Headed to dyno sat morn!

Made 7 pulls on chassis dyno, 495hp and 512ftlbs@9psi still very conservative! that should calculate out to around 580hp @ crankshaft.
 
Thanks! Still have some tuning to do, afr was around 10.5 and timing was low about 17deg, when we get it closer we will start turning up the boost, I have a 2 stage controller and will prob do 10-11 on 1st and 14-15 on the 2nd!

Can't wait to see your results as you up the boost. I have a similar plan for my next dyno...I was shooting for 15 psi last time but my drive shaft broke at 10.

What are your engine and drive train specs?
