I don't think I would cut/weld original solid '69 big block Mustang floor pans. And know that I'm not a purist in anyway who has a thing about concours resto cars.
If your car was an original small block or six popper 'stang that has been converted to the big block, then by all means cut into those floors to add the subframe connectors! But if it's an -S- code 390IP,-Q/R- code with solid floors....don't do it. It sounded like you're mainly using it for street running fun with 15" wheels and some wheel hop reducing cal tracs. If your car were an original CJ/4 speed car it would have the staggered rear shocks which took care of a lot of the wheel hop problems inherent with the big block/stick Mustangs/Fairlanes.
Think about it....Ed Terry's '68 -R- code CJ Mustang match raced with a tunnel port 500 horse + 427 running 11 flat in 1968. There were mods to the leaf springs with traction bars but there were no subframe connectors being used. Do you really think you'll be launching your '69 at 5 grand, shifting at 7?
This is just my opinion regarding your car. The key is, it's your car, you do whatever you want to do.
Good luck! |
