the closer the upper rear mounts are together the less bind in the whole assembly

you also can widen the lower rear mounts to improve the overal angle--they DO NOT HAVE TO BE PARALLEL!!!!!

If you can , get a look under a Mustang at an 8.8 for angles and lengths

Just replace the links you cut with some tube that has an inner id that is tap size for 3/4 threads--11/16 or .6875----cut to length and tao one end rh and other end lh
