Re: [Amc-list] Ford rear for my American...

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Actually, the way that IRS mounts under the car it would be a good bit of work to install in something else. It uses coil springs on the lower control arms with seats made into the body, IIRC. I've looked at quite a few IRS rear axle setups -- there's a reason hot rodders just use Jag or Corvette axles! Just need a cross member and a couple lower control arms (more for the newer ones -- pre 87 Jag, not sure what year 'vette).

You could also go killer with an 8.8" IRS from a T-bird, Mark VIII or Mustang Cobra!
