    Hello Everyone,
    I just brought home a 1970 Maverick 6 banger c3 auto 4 lugger car today and am going to try to stuff a 552 cu in (460) in it. I think I want to do a mustang 2 style, strut, rack and pion steering front end and do a 4 link rear end w/ a 9" rear end. Long long ago I worked in a race car fab shop and was around drag racing for a long time. I have not been involved with cars for some 25 years raising the kids and all that stuff. (their out of my house now and doing fine YEAH!!) anyway I digress, any suggestions on good articals or where to find info on front suspension and such would be apreciated. I guess I should say that I have lots of tools ,welders mig and tig and plan on doing most the work myself. Well cant think of anything eles to add for now.

    Thanks

    Welcome aboard! You've certainly come to the right place. Learn to use the search feature above and you'll find all the info you need. Several guys here have done the mods you mention.
    Here's what I get by simply searching for "mustang II suspension".
    Have fun and keep us posted. We'll help any way we can. :)

    Sounds like you are planning on doing a lot of the same things that I am doing. Except my engine is a 351 Cleveland stroked to 393. The speed shop should finally be finished up with it in a couple of weeks. :bananaman
