1970 Torino Gt build - Lateral-g Forums

Dieseltorkin · #1 03-03-2011, 08:17 AM

Recently started tearing into my new project. Its a #'s matching 70 Gt 351 cleveland w/4 spd toploader & hurst shifter, black on black. Motor is currently at machine shop, its getting a 408 stroker kit, aussie 3v heads and matched intake. You get the idea.

Anyhow with HP being in the 600 range i am wanting to build a full frame for the car. I have searched the net high and low for mustang 2 front ends, custom chassis, torino chassis etc, and cant so much as find a schematic on the factor unibody to use as a starting point. Wanting to go 4 link in the rear and a mustang 2 type setup up front with a power rack. Any ideas where to find some info on this? Also i have found all the replacement sheet metal that i need except wheel houses, any ideas here? I will be with a 10" wheel in the rear so im thinking mini tub. Thanks in advance for any help! I can throw up a project thread if anyone is interested.
