Re: '51 new IFS installation

I don't have the receipts close by, but, these should be pretty close:

Donor Corvette suspension $500 (control arms, spindles, R&P, etc)
IFS kit from Flat Out was $795
Shocks were an additional $399
Urethane bushings, ball joints, etc (IIRC) approx $375
New motor mounts - $125

The motor mounts will install just behind the X-member (you can see the masked off portion on the frame in the attached pic).

I didn't have time to get the steering installed, I'm hoping to get away with 2 u-joints. The rack lines up pretty well (again, in the attached pic).

Track width for the AD is 59.5, on the '86 Vette it's 59.6

No decision yet on final tire size, what's on the truck now are 225/60-15's on the front, 225/75-15's on the rear
