Recently picked up a 83 Jag for the ifs and irs for my 53. I will definitely use the front susp. but after doing a lot of reading I know I don't have the fab skills to mount the rear out of the cage. My question is does anyone have pics. of one mounted in the original cage in a 53-56? Not sure how to mount those lower radius arms. Am beginning to lean toward easier 9" rear.

 

Take a look at the Tbird/Mark VIII IRS. There is a kit out there that allows you to use the soft mounts or you can weld the IRS cage directly to the frame. I am working on doing the latter.

Holmsey did a great job, but that is way too much fab work for me. I would like to use the Jag cage if I can.
