Hi there I am 17 and am a new mustang owner..What size tire can I run in the back without rubbing? I have the air shocks all the way up now. I also have a spare chev 454 laying around, how can I make it fit?
I was thinking if I cut out the shock towers and all the aprons it might fit ok?

If you cut the shock towers you ought to get a pretty nice rake.

If you don't want Craig to hump your leg, I might be able to substitute for you...

Ew, ditch those air shocks=/ The upper shock mounts aren't designed to take any loads at all. Eventually you're going to punch the shocks right through the bottom of the car.

And if you put a 454 in that car, we will all disown you:P

blue65coupe · « **Reply #22 on:** August, 08, 2008, 04:46:55 PM »

He lost more than a bet if he went to see Gretchen Wilson (sp). He lost some freakin' dignity

LMAO.... You can't lose what you don't have.... ;)

We were in Va.Beach for my 10 year old daughters birthday and it was a free concert at the Navy base. The 24oz. beers were only $4 if that helps me reclaim any dignity.
