I finally have the Manta up on the frame bench to start the suspension swap. Powertrain plans are LS3>G86-20. Rear suspension sourced is C5 and front suspension plans are for C4.
The rear structure will be removed and a new rear clip built to accommodate the C5 parts. I am considering building a new structure to accommodate the C5 and eliminating the cradle once I find good measurements for the upper control arm mounting points. I have looked at the Performance Trends Suspension Analyzer but the measurements they give in some cases differ from actual component part measurements so I'm not done hunting for good info re mounting the parts especially the upper control arm points. I like the look of the Activepower GT40 method of hanging rear c5.
And I know already the rear will be the easiest part to install ...C4 in the front replacing the mustang 11 will really be challenging but I really like this kind of work.
