mustang 2 front end conversion
Rob, I was wonddering what you thought of the conversion to the mustang two front end, What brand cross member did you use, did it fit well? Does it address the parrelle control arm issue that was brought up at the beginning of this thread? how did it go with adapting the r&p steering, did you use power steering? Did you smooth out the inner fenders since no shock mounts were needed? Do you have pictures?
Have you driven the car since the conversion? (from the picts it looks like it is still apart) Did the alignment come out all right? I have decided to stay sbf as far as eng goes but still not sure if I want ot mod my stock suspension or convert to M2 stuff. Just FYI I have a 64 falcon sprint convert.

I put a falcon specific aftermarket crossmember and all the suspension from a donor mustang II in my wagon. The cross memeber was $600 and the mustang was $200. I added dropped spindles for $200. Then cut half a coil (gonna cut another half coil). I have $1200 and my time into it. I now have R&P, disc brakes, and endless hieght optioins (even the optiono of a bolt in air ride kit for the MII front end). Pictures in my intro.
Just antother way to go if you are so inclined.
Keep wrenchin'.
