Jack, your article kinda kick started me to the rod side of life on my '51. I've completed the Pacer IFS, installed a small block Chev, TH400, 9" Fjord. I have been able to add my own twist to the cause, with my Toyota gauges. Just wanted to thank you for the insight on the Pacer IFS. I found the Pacer IFS to be dead even with the stock stance of the original I-beam axle. I'm not done yet but I'm very close.
