[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3094309, member: 15054"] The front suspension on the Fox body was not the best for roundy round and not the best for high speed runs. 145 MPH is not high speed. I do like the rack steering.. the Fox is lighter to begin with. Both of them have weak ass rear ends as far as stock goes. I have had both of them. I would put rack steering on the GM and a Ford 9" in whatever you decide on. I actually like the pinto/ mustang II suspension better basically a lighter version of the GM A arm suspension. And you get rack steering. I like rack only because it is simple and less parts.. that also saves weight. Here is a tid bit for you. The Fox power rack will steer easier than a Manual Ford rack. And that is without any power assist.. just seal off the top holes in the rack and join the lines with rubber hose and add Trans fluid into the hose as you turn it. I installed a Power rack off my Fox mustang into My 78 Nova.. and the Nova got some Ford truck leafs and 9" Leafs moved forward Just under the front spring eye,, then clamped. Move the rear 2" forward while I was at it. Mopar Super stock package basically. So I vote hybrid I suppose a mix of the 2 or 3 or 4 you decide. [/QUOTE]
