Blue Thunder said:Redesign the strut rod setup, so that, well, there are no strut rods.
MadMark said:Problem is it's the strut rod that makes the front of the car so tunable, and otherwise desireable.

Vince said:One technicality: in January 73 the Mustang II design would have been basically finished and tooling well under way. The Mustang II hit showrooms in September 73, so there would be no time to enlarge the trans tunnel, widen the engine bay, change platforms, etc. These kind of changes would have a major impact on when the car would be ready for production, and would have cost Ford millions of dollars in rework & lost revenue.
BTW, during Mustang II development there were two projects being worked on in parallel. One was based on a shortened Maverick platform and another on a stretched Pinto. In July 1971 the decision was made to go with the Pinto version.
