Anybody know how wide the Dakota track is? Industrial Chassis in Phoenix makes a kit to use Dakota parts for a front end swap. Looks good. Might be a better fit than the Ford. About $700 for the crossmember. http://www.industrialchassisinc.com/Greg

The Crown Vic cross member is aluminum, so not something that would normally be narrowed at home.
For me, the big plus of this piece, is that it is a bolt on, and won't pose any questions of weld strength and quality later on.

Another option that might have been a good fit would be a Pacer IFS. I was going to put one in my Scout but the frame rails were slightly over 35 inches outside to outside so it would have required frame or crossmember modification.
