IFS drop spindles on 65-66?

get a kit from ssbc.

I did that swap back in about 83or 84, and about a year after I swapped the versailles rearend in, the driver side caliper locked and I smelled something burning......... stopped the car and the rotor was smoking and glowing cherry red! Replacement parts were hard to get then only about 8 years after they were new.

You do get a proper width 9" rearend with the swap, but its not worth it today with ssbc,baer, and willwood options out there.

Also about the spindle swap,as someone posted earlier, the granada or monarch spindles from the mid 70's will bolt onto a 65-66 stang without bad problems.

Mustang 2 spindles will not fit properly as a direct bolt on...... and even if you got them on...... without a complete weld in mustang 2 frontend kit your steering geometry and bumpsteer would make the car dangerous to drive.

I wasn't talking about putting the Mustang II spindle in the early Mustang. I was talking about putting the early spindle in the Mustang II. Like I stated in an earlier post, a buddie of mine has a 76 that needs a spindle and I have a set of 67 spindles I told him he could have if it would work.
