I ain't knockin' what Magnum Force, Alterkation and Hemi Denny have done. I just don't have that kind of money to put into a new front end for my F body. I posted some info on the A body forum and you can use your own judgement how to take it.

One of my points is this. The A body and F body "frame" is nearly dimensionally identical to a 1956 Ford F100 pickup. That means there's a whole lot of suspensions, boneyard and after market, that can be "reverse engineered" to work in those applications... if you've got the notion. Some might work, some might not. Your mileage may vary. I have my own idea.

How do you think those big name guys got started?

Adapting factory suspensions to other ride. Why they insist on the crap that is based on MII's I dunno.

Which kind of tells me where their expertise level is.

I would run the Lexus front end before any MII based junk.

But I would just update my Cuda's original front suspension first.

Now if I still had my 38 Plymouth and it still had it's leaf sprung solid axle front suspension, then yeah the MII would be an improvement. But that'd be about the only thing it's better than.

I can see me doing this on any F-body. Admittedly, they don't have a lot of value just yet. Even a 4 door A, B or C body, but never a Cuda, Charger or two door B body. Value's are too high.

Not for a 65 Cuda

Yeah, most produced model year when they were new, least loved today.

I know a guy who made money putting F-body suspensions into those Ford pickups...

Is something like this necessary? Seriously, call FF and talk to them about their 300# bars - it'll totally transform the car. Toss a Borgeson box in there and call it done. In addition with the factory cop sway bars my car turns flatter than most newer production vehicles.

When I built my Diplomat no one had bigger than stock T bars for it.

But I added the cop front and rear sway bars and it made a big difference.

I actually added the entire cop rear axle and suspension out of an 87 Gran Fury that got taken out at 1500 miles.

I ended up adding all the cop goodies over time, including the idle speed control setup.

If you want to use fabrication skills maybe the best upgrades for handling is to fit an earlier "straight" torsion bar setup. Basically a ~1970 B/E body front suspension. One of the Mopar Mags did an article on this some years ago. Some welding required.

The straight TB setup is very capable and well supported with upgrade parts.
