Original Lowering Blocks?
« on: December 22, 2013, 08:58:36 PM »
Hi,
I just came across a guy who claims to have original 2" lowering blocks from a 65/66. He said that they were cast in steel.
Do these even exist? Does anyone have pictures?
Thanks,

Dan.

Never heard of that
The older ones were steel, then aftermarket changed to aluminum

The closest thing was used on 65 GT350 competition model's from Shelby American (R Model). They were aluminum.
