I thought quite a bit about the suspension and I know it'll be right out there. I know its not traditional but neither is an ecotec. I'm all about something different. I've seen some other open street rods with the same suspension and they don't look too shabby.

Depends a lot on whose IFS you use. There're some nice looking units out there, and there are some that are butt ugly, meant only to be hidden out of view. BTW, I think the idea of the ecotec4 is great!!

For me the mustang II IFS is a complete no no and as for the spool in a short wheelbase car on the road you seriously need to rethink both items.

I think the Ecotec is a great choice. We run a 2.0L in our roadster. We drove it to Bonneville from Pomona, over 700 miles and went over 200MPH.
