Brian,

that is the hundred dollar question!
I am only learning as well, and refer to Paul v Valkenburh's Race Engineering & Mechanics, page21:
..., anti squat in the rear is doubly beneficial, in that the desired tire patch movement is rearward, which absorbs bumps.

back to the quetion, why did FORD design this into the chassis?
to get better traction under acceleration. But was that for the 427 street which ran on skinny tires and had a lot of bump travel, and is this rearward movement still useful for short travel suspensions and wide racing tires?

anyway, I am stuck for now with this design, but would defenitely change it to a rear suspension like seen at the 289 or SPF.

amazing how many people write to this forum, considering we all have family, house , car and probably search for letters all over the keyboard...

Coyled,
is that 3/16" per wheel?

cheers,

Dom
