S197 Tri-Bar's Ride Build Thread Profile - S197 Mustangs

[Fabman]

UPDATE:
Las Vegas 4-15-23
Was a very fun day, Car was fast with the new changes. The GT intake may just stay on the car. Was the fastest Mustang at the track on Saturday. So much grip on corner exit I could just stand on the loud pedal. Has a mid corner push that showed up if I went in to fast on entry, made me drive it a little slower to get it around the slower turns. I going to drop the front spring 50 lbs. On the 4th session I managed a 1.57.7. That time would have taken first place.. Missed it by that much........Best of all, did it on the Stock Boss 302s suspension setup.
That being said. because of the handy cap system we use, I still managed a 2nd place finish.

Updated side stripes and numbers.

UPDATE:
Installed A Boss302S style remote oil filter setup and made new hoses. The nice thing is a bigger filter and a shorter path from the cooler to the block inlet.

Which radiator support are you using? My filter is mounted in the same spot but can only run the shorter 51069R filter because the OE radiator brace is right under the filter.

Radiator support is stock ford. . The filter just clears the sway bar mounts. Photo is of a stock 302S for reference. I moved mine back a little more for room. Mine is the bottom photo.

Here’s the brace that’s in the way - I don’t see it on yours or the 302S.

The Mount is bolted right to the frame rail on mine and the Boss 302S. The "S" and mine both have the brace, just the mount is higher so the longer filter clears

I hung mine on the outside of the frame inside the nose.
That rear hose got re-routed to the front of the oil filter adapter (where the blue plug is) to clear the tunnels.

So tell us, how do you like the KB stuff?

 

[Tri-bar]

I like the Kenny Brown AGS 4.0-4.5 system.
The best the car has ever worked was with this setup. Neutral through out the corners with early power down. 650lbs front and rear springs and a Strano front sway bar. All I had to do was shock adjustments.
This was at Buttonwillow test day. I don't have session 4 where the car was at its best. But will give you idea.
