Would anybody following the build be interested in this in a kit form? Ready to install with very detailed instructions. Maybe even 3d printed templates. All you would need are coilovers. You would get a choice of including a sway bar.
As far as the rear end housing this will obviously fit a strange 9”. The upper housing tabs will be extra long so they could be trimmed to fit a 8-3/4. This will not fit a mopar Dana. Although doing a little bit of research it maybe possible to fit a GM Dana that strange makes for A body GM cars. If yet to test fit that housing. The 8.8 is always an option too. This is resembling a foxbody a lot so that could be a good option also. Again the user would have to fab or modify mustang upper control arms to correct length.

What would be the difference between the Mopar Dana Strange Makes and the GM Dana strange makes?
Curious as I have a Strange S60 in my Dart with the RMS triangulated 4 link.

The GM Dana has upper control arms bosses cast into the case. The mopar one doesn’t. The triangle is opposite in the RMS. Where you need to weld the tabs on this kit is not on the tube it’s more close to the ring gear side of the housing

I am following along with interest. I had previously thought about what it would take to do this after seeing all the fox body parts and again when @subcom did his build thread. You are taking it to an exceptional level in quality. I can't wait to see how the finished product looks.

Thanks. Years of building foxbodys lead me to this. Almost was going to do it like the Drag pak but I didn’t want a panhard bar..

Have a rear sway bar in place. 1-1/2 .188 wall main bar and billet arms on this one.Everything is a tight fit but came out nice. Possible the production one will have an offset arm and not billet. Had no choice for this one. Everything is ready to take out fixture and weld
 
Is the plan to keep the upper control arms in single shear or are you going to box them in?
 
Will the stock gas tank clear or are you going with something non-stock? And looking awesome btw!

I’m thinking so I don’t have a mock up one. There is a fuel cell in trunk

I struggled to make my coilovers clear my factory tank and threw in the towel and put in an alum fuel cell.
If you do decide to offer a kit I think it might be a good idea to extend the frame brace all the way to your coil over mounts once you decide on a final position and make it a single continuous piece, if that makes sense.

Yeah that’s possible. There’s going to be a few tweaks here and there before solidifying everything. Have to test it also

Housing is out. Ready to weld everything. Changed the lower bar, little bit more style. Added some tie downs as well
 
Be sure to run your alignment bar thru each end with your center section in the rear end with pucks in it to make sure it didn't move on you after welding everything. your stuff looks good ! good luck
