Today we're building a bunch of things that are attached to other things, so we can bolt on the front suspension... you might call them brackets. Or mounts... is there a difference? We figured out where all our new suspension needs to live last time, so surely this should be easy, right!
Well... almost. The Crown Victoria suspension components have been located to provide a suitable geometry for our car, and nailing down the remaining mounting locations should be somewhat straightforward. However, we also need to mount the engine, and that does bring about a few more complexities.
You see, the car is short... 149 inches short to be precise. Fitting a V8 and 5 speed gearbox into it while clearing everything else is one thing, but realizing that there are fairly tight parameters for the prop-shaft (or driveshaft) creates a whole slew of other fun obstacles!
Phasing, operating ranges, Pythagorean theorem, this has it all!
In case you missed it, our 1971 Triumph GT6 is receiving a transplanted 5.3l LS4 V8 and Mustang T5 gearbox... among others things... like a Corvette Dana 36 differential... and Crown Victoria front suspension... and a bellhousing from a Jeep.
So. Not exactly your typical Triumph.
Next time we'll be working through the remaining steering geometry and getting a rack sorted out - so SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss anything!
