      A properly caged bolt in subframe, subframe connectors, and weld in rear susp will be as rigid as a frame your talking about.At 30-40% less
      Now if you did a full perimeter 2x4x.120 tube chassis with cage that would be stiffest, however now you need fabricated floors etc to maintain ground clearances etc
      fyi, if anything is below 4 inches high, IT WILL hit everything, in any weird driveway entry,speed bump etc, not worth it.
      I noted this, but said my reason was it would be easier to work with the drive train, I'm not really keeping cost in mind. The body of the car would have a 6-10 pt cage installed.

      The engine and tranny can be mounted prior to installation on most front clips.

      Looks Great! I presume that is the show kit?

      Yeah, I know, but I'd like everything regarding the drivetrain in a package, including the rear end. Just seems like it would make it much easier to work on. I figured if I'm going to redo the front, I'll get the back done also.

      I like that picture, any details?

      What's the max width wheel you can run in the front? 9". Also, what HP is the rear Ford 9: rated to? (I presume it has 31 spline axles). Is there an available upgrade to 35 spline?

      Thanks,
      Bobby

      Was not sure to whom you directed the question so I will answer about the Morrison.

      We can put a 10 1/2" and 295 on the front and a 12" with a 335 on the rear.

      31 spline True track are good for about 600HP on street tires. We also have a upgrade for a 35 spline Wave Tracs for higher power cars.

      Everything you see there is a package, Custom IFS, Torque Arm rear and a Currie 9" housing with 31 spline axles. That particular package has some popular upgrades. 13" Wilwood brakes, 1.125" anti-sway bar, polishing, powdercoating, Tru-Track posi etc
      We also offer Fab 9 housings, 14" brakes, 1.25" sway bar, 35 spline axles, LSx engine mounts, double adjustable coilovers etc

      We have 275/35/18 on the front of our car with 315/30/18 on the back. 335's will fit on the back but they weren't available in this specific tire.
