61 Falcon

I was told to run between 5-6 degrees. It was also suggested I move the axle forward between 1-2 inches. I increased the WB by 1". I'll most likely put 5 degrees caster and see how it works out.
THE FRENCHTOWN FLYER:
IMO five will be plenty. The most I could take out of the Heim adjusters put me at seven on my Willys. I had an Econoline axle in my '64 Falcon. It worked well with a similar setup as you are doing.

I didn't make the weekend but, it's done now. Rolled it out of the garage. :) Ended up with six degrees of caster and took off two leafs from the springs. Had to order the cross shaft for the steering. Should be able to connect it all up next week. Engine and trans mounts are next on the list.
THE FRENCHTOWN FLYER:
Wow - you worked fast. I can tell this isn't your first rodeo.
My builds generally take years to complete.

Well I tried the SBC/glide set up this weekend. It's not going to work for me without a lot of firewall/trans tunnel mods. So looks like this will get a SBF/C4. All this will bolt in and 66 Mustang parts work also. Found a 289 and a 74 C4 trans today.
