    Wilwood dropped spindles in a Volvo?

    Well, on the left side is the suspension with Wilwood's spindle and hub w/ 9.5x17 Vette wheels compared to the Volvo 164 spindles and 10x15 wheels on the right. The 164's suspension is .75" wider than the 1800's each side for a total of 1.5". I would have to space the upper control arm in...

    Wilwood dropped spindles in a Volvo?

    Well, just got off of the phone with Tim @ Fat Man Fabriations. Nice guy, he went and measured a suspension for me and the Chrysler screw in ball joint pivot's distance on stock MII geometry is 11". So, now it's off to AutoCAD to start drawing up the modified front suspension and see what...

    Wilwood dropped spindles in a Volvo?

    It's amazing and would be funny except for the 12 hours I've spent googling every imaginable way to look for the Mustang II front suspension, geometry, dimensions, shop drawings, blueprints, layout,... that of the thousands of MII front ends stuffed under how many different cars and gaggle of...

    power rack vs manual

    Sorry to butt in, but wouldn't it be nice to adapt-in a later model mustang 15:1 ratio rack instead of the 20:1 manual rack from AGR 012-712581 , say out of Jeg's Racing? AGR Rack & Pinion - JEGS I thought that I have read that the MII rack and the latter one's have the same 24.5" inner tie...

    Anyone offer front Koni shocks for the II?

    Koni USA didn't list a front shock for the MII, but Bilstein has a heavy duty front shock, but no rear one; HD F4-BE3-B491-HO. http://www.bilsteinus.com/305bilsteinapplicationguide.pdf I guess you have to mix and match?

    Wilwood dropped spindles in a Volvo?

    :jaw:Thanks patman0911, when I was a teenager, our family had a 2 barrel, 2 speed 350ci '68 Firebird Sprint and a '69 428 Pontiac estate wagon, I used to have both hoods up for hours and thought that I could swap out both drivetrains in about a week when my dad was out of town on a business...

    I found this thread doing a google seach and posted this inquirey in the Mustang Classic section of this forum; http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/797059-post-pics-mustang-ii-front-ends.html But I think that I might get better results in the Mustang II section? So here is a repeat: Hey...

    Post pics of mustang II front ends

    Thanks, wicked93gs, that would great, how about also measuring your spindle height? This thing has a 3 liter overhead valve, early fuel injected straight six that I stuffed into the 4 banger engine compartment 30 years ago. I could make room for a T3T04E, but I have no room for an...

    Post pics of mustang II front ends

    That would be fine, the ball joint distance should be the same, stock spindle or dropped. Just guess where you think the actual ball joint pivot point is.:) If this works, I will cut my bolt on cross member in half, and widen it 4.5" spacing the lower control arm inner pivots from 20" to...

    How about some '97 Thunderbird suspension under a '68 coupe?

    I've been reading a few threads about MII front suspensions under old Mustangs, and while wandering around the junk yards looking for spindles and rear axles for my Volvo and the Granada 5 lug suspension for the wife’s ’68 6 cylinder coupe, I couldn’t help but notice that the ’97 Thunderbirds...

    Post pics of mustang II front ends

    Yes, I have that diagram. I can't remember if they said how much taller their spindle is off hand though. What I need to know is the distance between the ball joint pivots. I searched for about 30 minutes on this site, but came up with nothing yet. I will do a google search of this site when I...

    Post pics of mustang II front ends

    Hey guys, sorry to butt into your forum, but your site popped up at the top of the list for the answer to my question. And my wife also owns a '68 6cylinder coupe that my son disassembled and gathered all of the suspension parts to convert it to a V8, but since lost interest if that helps...
