i agree with chassisman a good 4 link or even a ladder bar,and with the extra weight of the engine u can keep the nose from going too high up.all wheel drive would be sick as hell too.may be possible with custom frame work and dana 60 front......a d60 may be too small tho.4 link,tubbed out,anti squat bars,slicks all thesse i think would be the basic ingredients to tameing the tire burning nature of this setup.i was raised building cars and i learned "ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO A CAR" and i still beleive this is true.yet in this world it all takes money.but good luck to ya i would love to see this done.

I was thinking tubs on the 'stang to help with the traction thing.

hey solareclipse2000 and chassisman. Thanks for the help. My father also told me when I was a little boy anything you want a car to do can be done. Me and him built a bunch of stuff together, and after he passed away I keep the tradition alive. I use to have a 71 Maverick that had a 351 block in it. It took a little bit of cutting to lay the strut towers back to get the motor in, with a mustang II front Frame, and it made 1250hp with the turbo I put on it, and nobody would think it would work, but I have the trophys to prove it. And chassisman What kind of Ideals do you have on the frame building? Talk to you guys later.

If its gonna be all wheel drive, then the chances of success just went up 400%
Chances of killing yourself first time WOT just went up 700%
just kiddin, good luck.....
With that setup a 3 sp tranny would be killer....

My take on the idea, in my dream world - a rear or mid mounted PSD, stretched wheelbase a little, and the front axle from an F-150 or 7-ton or something, independant. That's solve alot of all wheel drive problems vs a solid axle. If those cracker-jack ricer drag cars can put a few hundred horse to the ground, I'm sure a built front could take a built diesel. Building a sub frame for a mid mounted 'stroke could be a PITA, but you'd want an exceptionally strong cage anyway, so it could all be integral. I'd have the wheelbase stretched to keep the front on the ground, and just to make room for the motor/drivetrain. I'd think a E40D would be the ideal tranny to go with, I can't think of any kind of shorter auto that'd fit a 7.3. For the t-case, maybe a dana 300? Small, gear driven, nearly indestructible if built. Or, for just two wheel drive, maybe use a rear transaxle to save space? Something like you'd see in a class 1 SCORE car? http://www.mcmillinracing.com/m1.html
