Pros and Cons of the LTD/Big Ford IFS
#47
I have used these rear-steer clips for years, they are NOT for the 1st time builder. They can be made to sit REAL low but they work much better if the pivots for the upper A-arms are raised 2 inches. I also narrow the clip 3 inches through the center crossmember and take an inch out of the upper and lower control arms. This requires narrowing the sway bar and modifying the mounts for it, but it gives an absolutely terrific stance, they ride like a dream, they have lock to lock steering and my big tires and wheels don't hit the fenders. The cast iron headers for a stock 351-C will still fit or a modified set of blackjack headers will work just fine. I will honestly try to find time to post some pics, I am about 2 weeks from painting the newest frame and I have some pretty good pics.
