Nope...stock height.

It would be possible to drop them a bit, but I'm not going to get into clearance and driveline alignment issues on every person I sell these too either, so they will be offered as standard only.  Custom stuff is always possible.

I was wondering if you had any of the new batch up for sale yet, or what the latest word is, if I can get a set in time to go with my 5.0 conversion, I may just go this route, instead of with the Stang K member.
Price is still 125 plus shipping?

The current batch in process is all spoken for. I did a run and it was low-key.  Everyone contacted me directly. I'll be doing more, but not sure of the exact timeframe.  If you want to send me an email (cwarren@indy.net) I can contact you when I have more available.

Guess what? I got a package in the mail - it was heavy for such a small box :D

They look nice - can't wait for it to warm up so I can put them on :D

Yeah, they have a little heft to them. Don't drop them on your toes :giggle:

I'm thinking of changing up the material on the big top plates to take a little weight out.

They don't weigh more than the stock units do they?

I only care if they handle the torque from my KB anyway :D

Just to pop this back to the top.

Other developments have appeared to lead me to look into mounts for the 86-88 3.8's as well.

Primarily for the MN-12 SC's, the change of one piece will adapt them to the Fox cars.  The converse should be true in regards to the 5.0 mounts working for the MN-12's with one part changed.  It's an assembled part change and not something done during fabrication, so that will make things "easy".

I know the bulk of the 3.8N/A guys will have no desire for these, but they will be available.

Wow. Those look really nice! When I finally break mine, I'll give you a call. Mine are Autozone specials from 5 years ago, or so. I've been surprised that they've held up as long as they have.

Maybe I should consider just ordering a set for WHEN I break mine? :) Send me a PM with price and availability, if you don't mind.
