Different direction. S550 mustang gt front and rear suspension and brakes. 14" front brakes with 4 piston floating calipers. 13" rear brakes with independent rear suspension. V10 engine and tr6060 transmission. Right hand drive. Everything is at my shop. I will post updates and pics regularly. 18x9.5 corvette rallys. 295/45/18 tires

Well that took a sudden, awesome turn.

I know right lol

V10? Like... like Dodge 8.1 Liter V10? And right hand drive? This thread has turned into the equivalent of a Lemons rally pit party when you can get Barbeque AND pizza AND homemade pastries. Full sensory overload!

Ford 6.8 v10

Really curious about a roots blower and how it would mount

Yep this is awesome. I was waiting in the window for the ups truck like a puppy waits for its owner

Nothing in this thread makes sense. 

I love it.

Edit: oh, and thanks for catching us up. I'd hate to miss anything.

ok so got the irs in the nova today. I wanted to be able to take it in and out so i started off making some dowels out of grade 8 nuts 

the mount plates have the dowel on one side and the hidden nut welded to the other then i placed them in the holes of the subframe mounts and bolted them down

i took the rear axle out of the nova and got the irs in place. made mounts out of flat steel, i ran pieces from the nova frame rails to the plates that were bolted down to the subframe.

once the suspension was in i test fit the corvette rallies and am in love with the way they fit. im looking for a flare that works.

its awesome sitting on its own. i have it on my wifes cobra wheels until i get tires 

I'm leaning more towards box flairs in the vain of dasianti 510 wagon. Same boxy feeling to the car. Wish I knew how to photoshop. That way I could just show you. 

I know nothing about this IRS  and it's geometry, but the a- arms look to be too angled for my eye. I would expect that a lower ride height with the wood springs cut shorter  so the arms were almost parallel to the ground would be correct.

Nohome: The axles parallel make them the strongest on irs.

If you look closely you can see I have 4x4" wood blocks cut and in place of the springs because of the offset of the wheels its sitting on. I will have to modify the wheel wells later.

I put blocks in the place of the springs until I can get the wheel wells modified.

It will sit a bit more level than in this picture once everything is correct with the wheel wells

My buddy Jay has those rims on his '69 Nova. They look so right.
