Have you read the book "how to make your car handle" ? Prety much every parts house sells it. It's a good book to start with. Now I'm reading one on chasis design. But , i cant remember the name, and it's out in the car! lol I'll get it for ya it's a really good one.
I've got a 1970conv, with a boss 351. Yeah it's a brute. I'm having trouble keeping it on the road. Thus all the books on handeling. Our early Stangs suspensions although crude by todays standards have great potential. A few bolt on mods will see great results. Stiffen the frame, Export braces and monte carlo bars, sub frame connectors. They are not high tech but the less body flex you get, the more power can be put into the corner. "Boss 302 Chassis Modification" another good book. The same principles used to stiffen the 70's frame can be applied to the earlier Stangs. I didnt know this until doing alot of reading. Our solid axle lo-tech rears, when set up properly, and run on a smooth track, can put more power to the ground than all those high tech indedpenant rear suspensions! I'm now trying to figure out how to add a 4-link suspension with coil overs. I'll get this thing to pull1G in a corner yet! Good luck
