rear suspension
Techinspector1,
Quite awhile ago you responded to my inquiries regarding the front suspension for my 47 Ford 2-door sedan. I think I am going to go with a Mustang 11 kit through a company like Chasis Engineering. With this I plan to install a 350 Chevy motor and appropriate transmission but am presently thinking about rear suspension. I would appreciate your input regarding a Chevy Blazer S-10 rear end and suspension as part of this drive train. I have heard that the S-10 rearend and suspension would work well. If the data I have is correct, the rear track width for the S-10 is 55.5 inches, about an inch narrower than the original rear-end in the Ford which should be alright.
Needless to say, I don't have much experience with hot-rodding and am learning as I go. Any advice and expertise you can provide would be extremely helpful.
Thank you,
herby on V.I.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
