Ok im a little lost,
Where does it seem that im a little high?

Also depending on what offset,and tire width will determin how far it will stick out past the fenders.
Let me know how the wide body fenders work out,I have found a kit that cheap.I think last time I lookied it was like 150-200. per flare.
Also why go with a 16 for drag?
you can get a nice meaty 26in tall tire under there with no problem,Why kill it by getting a bigger rim size
You claim to be a Ford/Mustang guy.
If you were,you should know that the Versallies,rear end is much narrower than the Mustangs 8.8 and already come with disc brakes.
But im guessing you are tring to use what you have already,cause I personally would never put a Ford 8.8 in there,Id go with a Ford 9 all the way,even with a less tourqe making rotary engine.
You claim to be a certified welder.
You should have NO problem leaving the stock links on the car.
REMOVING them from the STOCK Mazda rear end.
Centering the Ford rear end under the car.
Tacking on the brackets for fitting then complete the weld.
What is a greger?
All you need is WeldRacing wheels with the highest backspacing (if im correct) to keep the tire under the car into,the wheel well.
MOST of the information that you are askin for im sure you can get from grannies.
Just to let you know a 79 RX7 has less sensors than any Ford or GM product that I know of from that time frame.12A engines can be fun to mess with.I usally only have one vacume line on them,and only sensors are for reading gauges.
I personally think thats alot fab work just to have a 13 sec.
If its a cool factor drop the drive train into a pinto and call it a day.
Nice sleeper
