    There is a double hump crossmember available on ebay. Its for a mustang but with some tweaking, it will work. The one I purchased allowed the mounts to be welded where I wanted. I think I needed to chop the mounts, mock it up, and weld. Bolted right up. That's as much of a drop in as anyone could hope for on custom cars.

    As a follow-up to that, what width rear end are you running? Fox or SN95? 275s fit without issue, or did you have to roll the fender lips and/or do some BFH work on the inside of the wheel well?
    '89 GT convertible - not a four-eye

    Fox width. Inside of wheel well is fine, outside is close. Didn't roll it but we trimmed it back a little. Stock springs on metco control arms. Like the ride height but springs seam too soft. Changing front coilovers to 14" 150lbs by the weekend.
