You're going to love the TCI quality and workmanship. I installed the torque arm suspension in my 65 Mustang. Also, you are dropping some coin in this! Should be a great handler for sure.

subscribing to the sickest thread in svtp right now. can't wait to see the final product. I told the wife that once the engine goes out on our '65 that we should try to fit in a ecoboost. just a thought. :D

Just a note about tire size and wheels with the TCI torque arm. I wanted to put in the widest tire I could. Also, I like the look of mild fender flares. The limiting factor for backspace is the panhard bar mount. I was able to use: 17 x 8 4.5 B.S in the front and 17 x9 5.00 B.S. rear.
With this rear rim you will need to modify the inner wheelhouse in the front. The wheelhouse narrows. So, all you need to do is add a wedge piece to widen. Also, as mentioned earlier, you will need to flare the fender. I added about an inch and I also rolled the lip.
