Has anyone put a 4.6 in a 1967 mustang
I will add that a performance suspension based off the stock design will outperform a Mustang II type suspension...or at least an unmodified MII suspension, but for the last time, the stock mustang II suspension and the MII suspension load the unibody in the same way, with the exception of the triangulation provided by the export brace(which as I stated earlier can be duplicated easily enough)...all loads go to the frame rail...the shock towers sit on the frame rails, as do the new Spring caps...the fender aprons carry 0% load...they are flimsy 1/16" sheet metal that flops like a fish without the shock towers there(anyone who has done this install will confirm this, all loads end on the frame rails), and if we are being honest the export braces were never there to connect the firewall and the frame rails...they were added by the factory to keep the shock towers from sagging together over time, so even the amount of triangulation they provide is fairly questionable in my opinion...the mustang II setup is not the best handling wise, but it is the most cost effective method for getting more room, adding front discs, rack and pinion steering and coil over shocks
