Thanks guys!
After getting it to run I of course decided to change some things. I'll skip over the details - but I tore out a big chunk of Mustang stuff that I had already welded in.

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute

This was all part of me deciding to go 3-link & panhard bar instead of the factory Mustang 4-link. So I discovered that there are factory Ford 3-link 8.8 axles with posi-trac under certain Ford Aerostars.

And I eventually found one with the gear ratio I wanted.

So now I am about 75% of the way on converting the 944 over to 3-link + panhard bar.

Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute

Once I get the 3rd link fabbed and assembled, I will have to redo the battery mount, the fuse block, put a floor back in that big cutout area...

Then I can resume the parts about making it run, move and more importantly stop.
