Thanks Jose,

I appretiate the info…I weill attempt to locate an 8″ in the local salvage yard when I get home. I was even kicking around the idea of getting a rear frame section from a t-bird and have an IRS setup but that would be murder to adapt. So far I have been shopping around and have acquired a 5.0 GT40 shortblock from a 99 Ford Exploder, a ford e-303 roller cam, edelbrock performer intake with holley 600 carb, GT40 heads (3 bar not the “P” heads) electronic ignition, Summitt block hugger headers, 1.6 ratio roller rockers, and a few other assorted goodies….I probably wont be able to keep this thing on the ground as my only slightly massaged 66 Mk 1A w/260 was fast enough to be scary. I have no intention of making a “tiger clone” out of this alpine so I can have a little creative license with the creation but dont really want to alter the bodylines by cutting fenders etc. Only 56 more days and I will be home to the family and then after I take some time to reunite with the wife and kids will get to play a little not only with this but a 75 Pinto we are rebuilding for my 14 year olds first car (tank mods will be in order). 😀
