Hi guys, John here, this is my second post but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been around here lurking for a while. So about two years ago I saw a supercharged STA video on YouTube and started think how neat it would be to build an all wheel drive 'Stang Killer. You can stop laughing now! It would take way more than any built 4.6 or blown 5.4, even the 5.0 Coyote started to sound good.
Hold up I’m getting a head of myself. It took me about two months to find my STA and it was in Illinois and had just been shipped from Florida by the original owner to sell. Full load NAV, no rust, I don’t think it ever had any thing in the bed. By the way, this is a US truck, not a Canadian import like the majority them for sale.
54k sure drives nice. So to start the project, to go fast, you need to be able to stop, and this thread gave some great information. Well straight to the point.
The Aviator knuckle is half the weight of the Sport Trac iron one but when you add 60 lbs of rotor, caliper, and pads, I came out at net 0 same 70 lbs.
Billet front radial caliper mount, full billet rear knuckle.
You can follow my slow development.
