SGC48,

Here's the facts, jack.

1. The IRS option will run you about $3500.00 bucks. If you are serious about having a 427 engine, you will have to replace all of the donor stuff with new. Lots of folks will say the IRS adds about 3K to the value of your ride, which is great, 'cause that's what they cost. (FYI, the IRS failures reported earlier almost ALWAYS are in regards to Jag junk, the FFR uses the 8.8 T-bird pumpkin and spindles, add the Cobra Mustang disc brake upgrade.)

2. The 3 link setup ELIMINATES the inherent wheel-hop associated with the Mustang 4 link. The 3 link, with coilovers and a new 8.8 rear, will run you somewhere near 2K. The FFR spec racers run 3 links, and they do pretty well. The FFR 3 link package comes with an adjustable panhard rod.
