Mustang II front suspension?

Need help on adding a Mustang II front suspension to my '56 Fairlane Town Sedan. What kits would I use and how to do it. It's probably easy for you guys, but I have never done one and I want to do it myself.


Thanks

 

That's a heavy car for a MII. What is wrong with the stock front end?? Sparky

 

If you are set on a MII, I can suggest FatMan from experience. Easy to install and it rides great.........


Have you thought about doing a complete rebuild and upgrading to disk and dual master cylinder. A rebuild of all the rubber compoments does wonders adding disk and potentially a sway bar will make it stop and handle a whole lot better.........

 

i'm not sure who all makes mustang ll crossmember kits for `56 ford , if any....Fatman Fabrications makes a complete frame stub , which be some major work....their catalog states the original frame design doesn't allow for the easy installation


i agree jalopy43 , keep the original front suspension.....kits for disc brakes , power steering , and drop spindles/springs are available and can be done with simple tools by the average guy

Thanks guys. This idea sounds better than doing the whole MII thing.

 

Try these guys, http://www.jamcosuspension.com/ Been around for some time now. May not be the cheapest solution but may be the easiest to do.

Also a company called Gearhead Cruiser products has been advertising in Rod & Custom. Mixed results so far, one very happy and the other not so. But they do offer a bolt in Saginaw 605 conversion!

The night prowler also offers dropped spindles and disc brake conversions for your car.

Other options include using the Ford Granada/Lincoln Versaille's spindles with some minor modifications to achieve disc brakes and a bit of drop.


That said I like Mustang II suspensions in general but there is a limmit as to what they fit best under.
