    should be close but if in doubt, take some measurements with a tape measure and compare (y)

    Those should bolt up to Mustang Highbacks. They will sit a couple inches lower than Highback seat tracks would place them, but if you are tall, that can be a benefit.

    This is the exact combo that I am swapping into my car.

    Do those tracks have the other riser block and the two bell-shaped pieces for the front. If not, you'll have to fab something up. The floor is lower close to the tranny tunnel.

    I was missing one of my front spacers and used a 1/2 copper pipe coupler. It was just abot the right height. Painted black with washer on top and bottom. It wasn't the best setup but it worked. - Matt
