This is the partial car we acquired with the Hi-Tech deal.  Its a 289 Roadster (Slabside).  I will try and keep this thread updated as much as I update our social media.  Stay tuned.

This is the rear IRS we will be using.  Built by Mike McCluskey, these are the closest to the originals.  Mike based these off an original Cobra Salisbury diff. unit when he started building Shelby's "continuation" 427's in the '80's.  We may start machining the cases for Mike in the near future.

Awesome!!   Will it fit in the 2nd generation 427 Hurricanes?

Not without some modifications.  We use a different IRS for the Hurricane 427's but the frames are slightly different to accommodate the IRS.
