In this video I install a Total Control Products Front Coil Over Conversion kit on the 73 Mustang and show just how easy it is to make your vintage Muscle Car handle like a true performance car!
This was one of the easiest installs I've ever done and the parts from the kit are the real stars here.
Make sure to let me know if the longer video format is good or if I should keep them shorter... PLUS I ask a few important questions at the end so watch and participate in the build!!!
If you have any questions, just ask in the comments here or go to the autoedit facebook page
or just call my friend Carl at Chris Alston's Chassiworks 888-388-0298...I was totally thrilled with their help and most importantly the parts!!!
Keep it floored,
Jason

I REALLY like your attitude and personality. I have a 73 that I am working on and love the way Marge has turned out. Hi from Texas
Thanks for watching!
Boy, is it ever refreshing to see someone doing one of these car guy videos without all the bad boy attitude, TV persona BS. The work through was no nonsense and informative and very well presented. Good job!
Well, dang... Thanks so much! It's very refreshing to have someone watch the video and take a moment to say something so nice. It is much appreciated. Have a good one!
I also post videos without that attitude, you might enjoy watching me fumble my way through crap I have never done before. lol

You and Jay Lenos garage are the only uploads I get truly excited about. Just love your channel as a car guy and a film student this is one of the best
marem19 Thanks Dude!
Really a great video. I love these newer suspensions that are available for older cars. I am a big fan of the pro-touring style resto for a pony car.
Great video!! Can't wait to see the rest of this project
I love these DIY videos, I'm stuck in the house and it's very hard for me to leave cause I'm sick, mustangs are my favourite, thanks for taking the time to create these vids I appreciate them more than you know, keep them coming it gets me through these days I go through of pain to where I can't even walk sometimes, once again thank you very much I look forward to the next one.
Dang, so sorry to hear about that, but I am so happy to hear that first off...you can make it through these videos and that you like them will keep me going for a while! Thanks and I'm sending the best to you!
Thank you I appreciate it
I don't often see modifications for early 70 Mustangs, pretty neat. Those shocks look fantastic as well.
Hi, I have TCP manual rack steering on my '65 HT Mustang. The change over stock steering was huge. Don't really need power steering. Good road feel and very precise.
Such a good video, I like how you gave the torque specs, now I need to save up for this setup, it's looks solid.
NICE!!! I'm down for some longer videos!
Excellent install and footage! Looking forward to the next update!
Austen Thanks!
This is freaking awesome!!!! I liked the longer vid too!
Thanks, glad to hear it!
Outstanding video, a great investment in time making it. Wish I had seen this before redoing my current Mustang. But knowing now how easy this looks to install and all your positive feedback on how great it felt during installation alone, i'll highly consider this for my next project! Cheers!
+Ernest T Thank you so much for taking a minute to watch and share a nice few words! Stick around...the Mustang is coming along nicely!
What an awesome video !!!!! , u rock !!! , cant wait for the next video and before and after review , I didn't know they had all these full suspension upgrade kits for older mustangs
I used Alston's Chassiworks parts on my old Maverick project and after you install that stuff once...you will be a fan for the rest of your hot rod life. Top notch stuff that you can see and feel the quality...as a builder I really appreciate that!
Man I wish you'd do more large videos. I keep comin back to these older videos and it makes me want more updates on it
I hear ya! Thanks for sticking around... I have been struggling lately.
@@AutoEdits hey man I understand how it is. I've had to sit my 68 cougar on the back burner for the past 2 years cause of some struggles. But it all gets better. Cheers for sticking it through man. Best of luck
This is a perfect start to getting this 'Stang built up!
Thanks Dude!
it's great to see more videos of you working on your cars, i like how you really are a car guy!.. doing what most of us do, looking for the best options on budget and bouilding a really cool and capable car... i am still sad about the maverick thoug!.. great video and great channel, greeting from mexico
Thanks my friend!

This guy belongs on TV. The only problem is, if he does make it. I probably would not watch it. I'd much rather watch it on the Internet. I don't watch much television anymore.
Great vid! I would look into Wilwood or Baer big brake kits if you have the funds.
I would not have thought that ver. of mustang would be worthy of a build but, you are taking it to an other level! I like it.
Really great video man, you actually focused your camera on everything I wanted to see, just the right amount of information without any unnecessary jargon. One question - where's your export brace?
Thanks! I installed the export brace way later ruclips.net/video/ZS6pqPG2mNU/видео.html
Hi Jason. I haven't even watched the video yet... I saw "Auto Edit" in my notifications and yelped "Auto Edit? SWEET!" I think I woke up the House. lol. -Drew
LOL!
Nicely presented video and presentation man. I'm going with this set up on my '65 Ranchero, it's got a '69 Boss 302 in it, going to road track it some.
You will be extremely happy with this... if you get a moment to check this out for confirmation ruclips.net/video/qSJ72eAVZFU/видео.html
Mate I wanted to share my thoughts. You're video editing if very interesting and makes it hard to look away.
And you you're self are so photogenic with the camera you just have a great onscreen presence.
I love you're videos.
Take care mate.
Well thanks a ton! Much appreciated!!!
Great video. I'm going to say go Rack and pinion steering. Going off of what you said about your camaro and the Coil Over Conversion kit you installed. It sound like you want to keep comfort with high performance.
Great video Jason, I have been thinking about the TCP stuff for the Mustang we are building.
I've been meaning to call you guys but work has been crazy so I'll try this week!
Thumbs Up Jason, I have used TCP product before. No doubt It is gonna really help your 73 transform to a real handler.
Love this series but I'd love to see more episodes Jason!
Hey Dude! I've been doing kind of boring stuff on the car the last few weeks and didn't think it would make for good videos...but since you asked...I'll make a quickie catch up video this week and get it up as soon as I can!!!
Thanks Luke!
No worries!, its a project so I'm sure everyone that's watching will want to see the boring stuff as well!
I just ordered this kit my 69 fastback.. can't wait to put it on. Merry Christmas to me.
+GunfightersINC Congratulations! Seriously, you are going to be so stoked!!!! Oh, that is my favorite year Mustang.
+autoedit Thank you it's also my favorite of all the Mustangs (or cars for that matter) and I cant wait to rail around a road course, I have a question, with these coilovers do you adjust ride height by compressing the front springs? and if so are the springs linear rate? I'm assuming yes to both questions.. but I couldn't find the answer on TCPs website, my car has a 351W, I ordered the 600# springs as well as the drop pivot shaft for the UCA.. but I was gonna call TCP this coming week to see if they recommend something else I wanted to talk to your contact there, Carl, so I can be sure I get someone knowledgeable as well as drop your name to make sure you get the credit for selling me on their products.
I really look forward to your vids since everything you're doing mimics exactly what I plan on doing with my car ( from the fuel injected blown 351W.. even down to the wheels, which is just downright spooky) and I'm looking forward to the finished product so I can see what I'm in for. so excited.. Anyway keep up the good work and happy holidays to you and yours.
PS.. looking forward to your pedal install vid.
+GunfightersINC I do believe the springs are linear and there is some height dial in with the spring compression ring. I got the #550 springs to start with so we'll see how it sits!
wow !!a great video !! thk so much
Awesome! Someday I'll get to this point on my project. Keep rocking!
Haha... Hot rodder with braces... I thought I was the only one! Haha
Lucas Gusi HA! Yup...doing an overall re-alignment on my own face hole!
Because I am doing a couple of 64 65 Rancheros
I'd like to see a rack n pinion, manual vs power vs stock manual/power or any thing else that you come up with. Thanks for the videos 👍
I've finally been driving this car with the power rack and pinion from TCP and am thrilled with it. I put a flow adjustment valve on it but run it at full so far with great results. In my opinion, there is no need to go manual unless it's a drag only car.
Great video Jason! Glad you see you are settled in your new garage and have some cool projects set up for Large Marge. Is there any kind of performance brake package that would allow you to take advantage of Ford Racing parts bins on the cheap? I think that would be cool. I also saw your tv in the background and you are correct, that was an awesome day of racing! What a battle between Alonso and Ricardo!
Great suggestion...I didn't even think of that...I'll explore the website tomorrow for stuff, thanks! Yes...good battles lately...today was another one...right!
you have sold me to get the suspension now I need you to tell me the under coating!! you said it was a spray bed liner but what one? I like how nice it looks mind if you tell me what it is?
I literally have the same car. I'm planning on doing all of this to my 73. I have a rebuilt engine and trans fortunately
Glad to hear you have the same car! I finally am driving this car and the suspension is amazing! Videos coming in a few weeks!
well done, useful vid!
Hey thanks!
@autoedits Jason, this is a long shot that you might answer; did you notice a lot of negative caster when you initially bolted this thing up? I have the upper a arms pulled all the way in via the adjustable threads. And the strut bars at the instruction recommendations. I have a lot of negative caster. I'll need to shorten the strut bars and/or adjust the upper a arm to move the ball joint backwards. Anyway, just wondering if you had the same experience. Wish you still had this car! Thanks
GREAT GREAT VIDEO - I will be using this on my newest restoration...but one thing I never see...How do you get a racing brace (Export and montecarlo ) atatched since the shock tower top is different ?
Thanks... check this out www.totalcontrolproducts.com/tower.html
jason.. what i am worrying is the shorter versions of your uploads.. nvm though.. i am excited to know what kindda break and steering would fit in to mach 1"0" :P.. are you going to fix discs for front breaks?
I got a 75 maverick will this kit bolt right in also with a 302 would a #450 spring be good. also I'm on a TIGHT budget so would love to know if these kits come with duplicates for left and right or gotta by 2
P.S. love the build and vids. wish the vipermaverick was still in existence.
Great video! Off the wall question. When you dropped in the upper shock mount in place, I noticed the finish on the shock tower. What did you shoot the engine compartment with? That wrinkled finish looks great! Thank you for all of your efforts making these videos. Mark
+Mark Schwenke Thanks a bunch for taking a minute to say hey. The engine bay paint is rattle can spray on bed liner I got from pep boys. It's fairly durable and easy to touch up since this isn't a show car.
Super Video A+++
Great video Jason. The Stang's coming along nicely. I love the TCP Coil over conversion. That was a brilliant idea. What engine... Hmmm... Being from Ohio I'm partial to the 351 Cleveland myself, lol. GL Jason. ttyl -Drew
Oh man, you know I love the Cleveland engine! My thought for this car is to keep it as light as possible...Am I remembering correctly that the Cleveland engine weighs more than a Windsor or for sure a 302?
autoedit Definitely Jason. If you want to go light weight the 351 Windsor would be the way to go right? There was a guy in my neighborhood back when I was in High School that had a Maverick, hey a Maverick, with a 351 Windsor and it was pretty darn fast. :) Whatever you end up with I'm sure it'll be awesome. -Drew
What Steve Long said, couldn't have said it better m'self. And oh! *please*, only rack and pinion steering could do justice to the suspension (I suspect you already know that). If that car has the stock recirculating ball steering, and you leave it in, that would be just like spending 50 grand on a restomod then dropping a dirty old worn out 144 six in it ;-) Love your style bro.
Nice mustang
Thanks!
No wonder that you are soooooo fast racing RC cars, you know suspension and how to tune.
Howdy Larry! I really miss racing with you guys...all my stuff is just sitting on the shelf. I hope to get back out there again someday...Glad to hear from you and wish you well!
Awesome video, can't wait to see the next one, and for steering I'd go with rack and pinion. My question is what are you going to do for rear suspension though?
It'd be cool to see the rear end from the current generation mustang, they're really good, especially for a live axle. Maybe he could get his hands on the IRS off of a mustang cobra or something. That's be really fun.
Jack Begley At this moment...I'm still planning on keeping a leaf spring based rear suspension to keep the build simple...but I have some ideas of how to really maximize that technology and make awesome so stay tuned!
Hi, Jason!
Number part, please!!! (Complete kit)
Total control!
;)
www.totalcontrolproducts.com/fcoc-fd.html
Those springs shown at 1:47 would be perfect for a lifted 4wd vehicle. Also, those things shown at 4:45 are the camber blocks of the kit? Anorher notice is, don't you think is illegal to film that bicycle race shown at 8:26 that was live that time and shown at that tv screen to your garage?
"I almost shot my eye out with that nut" "Spray that bad boy down"
If you know what I mean ;)
Hey Dude, liked your video very much. I’m curious what kind of steering did ya put in?
I have a 1961 Ranchero and very interested in this product.
Check this out ruclips.net/video/R0GYvADqxTA/видео.html
Great video.....Can you post the name brand and part#s of what you installed?
Hi Jason, you're video was awesome! I'm looking to upgrade my daughters 65 mustang front suspension and drop the front 2". which bolt on kit would be my best bang for my buck on making this happen? ( without doing any major mods to the car) oh and not having to remove engine. thanks.
This kit might do the trick Ricky:
www.cachassisworks.com/p-2342-mustang-64-73-fordmercury-60-77-front-coil-over-conversion-system.aspx
I suggest you give them a call to verify a good fit if you haven't completed this project yet.
Its been 5 years and theres no 71 72 73 opinion for the kit rear or front!! Anyway great video made me think about restomoding the old gal!!
Howdy! I love every bit of the suspension and here is one of a few videos talking about how it performs... yes it's been a while but ruclips.net/video/qSJ72eAVZFU/видео.html
Very cool episode.
I wish you'd give more info on your Camaro.
Thanks, Unfortunately the Camaro is gone...I did get misty looking at the old footage and was asking myself Why I sold that thing...it was a great car.
autoedit I saw the column in Powerblock magazine where you wrote about finding it, and saw the article where you pulled the engine. In it, they said there would be follow-on articles about the crate motor install, and the suspension mods, but I haven't been able to find them. Did you ever do them?
Also, how did you get it to pass smog after the engine swap?
I really enjoy the things you do. Very unique. I don't think I've ever seen a 71-73 Mustang project, for example.
Jason, just installed mine and the coilovers sit back in the upper control arm. Clears everything but looks off to me.
I'm not familiar with the ones that mount on the upper control arms... give them a call if you have any questions... they are great about helping me when I have questions!
Great content Jason. My question. Now that you have put some miles on this TCP coil over system. What is the road noise like? Do the bushings do what you said they should do? Or is it like your Camaro as you explained in the video? Thanks again.
Ira
This thing drives amazing... best on the market for performance and everyday comfort. ruclips.net/video/E5yeNDPPZOM/видео.html
@@AutoEdits Jason, I had a 71 mach1. I found your content while I owned the 71. I have since sold it to build my 67 cougar. Going with a control freak rear four link system. After seeing tour success with the TCP system. Seriously considering this system. PS. I work for Kindig it design. So if you are ever in Utah. Please stop by and say hi.
Thanks again.
Ira,
What kind of spray can Bedliner did u spray? Looks good. I’m getting upper, lower arms and strut rods for my 72 fastback
Just the duplicolor stuff from pep boys. I would recommend the Seymor paint stuff now, it's way better.
do you its easy to import this setup to a classic like vauxhall vector fe which is a GM V body type... i think the k member needs holes pls let me know if it needs any special technical attention i working on a suspension project for my classic vauxhall victor fe 1972 76
Bear 13in get.,12 in.rear. quick ratio rack pinion steering.sway bar 1 in. Hollow.
Braces aye!
71-73 mustangs use the Saginaw 800 steering box……..this is the same box used in the third generation camaros and firebirds…...if you want a huge, budget friendly steering improvement for your project, replace the existing power steering box with a quick ratio, high effort box from an IROC Z or Trans Am…….you will use the stock mustang power steering pitman and idler arms and the box should bolt right in.
I didn't know that! On my 82 Camaro I got the short ratio flaming river steering box and really loved the feel on that thing...glad to hear that if I go the steering box style I could get a great feel like that.
autoedit
some more info:
www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2007/09/01/hmn_feature21.html
Quick ratio boxes were used on many different vehicles, but the IROC (and Trans Am with 16" wheels) used a high effort 12.7 to 1 ratio box (about 2.5 turns lock to lock)……..vastly superior to the factory mustang box.
I'm not sure what would be required to connect this box to your factory pump as these boxes use metric threads for the lines. When doing this swap on a first gen camaro, I used the adapter kit from Lee Manufacturing ( lee-powersteering.com/rebuild-misc.htm) to connect the lines…... these folks KNOW steering…...I'm sure they could walk you through the conversion and get you the parts needed.
Good luck
Gon Huntin Does that mean he could also do the Jeep Mod to his steering box to make it quicker?
Trae Wallace
I'm not a jeep person, I'm not familiar with the "jeep mod", so I can't answer your question. I do know that some jeep steering boxes will swap too, just not sure which ones. The IROC box is both quick ratio and high effort (approximately 2.5 turns lock to lock)…….the improvement is dramatic over a standard ratio/effort box.
I stumbled across the info I posted above when I was doing the "IROC steering box swap" on a first gen camaro…..it just so happens that my son and I are doing a 73 mustang convertible project too. We haven't done the steering box swap on his car, but it will be part of the project.
His about a 408 clevor using Trick Flow Cleveland heads and efi or carb clevor intake. I nice stout N/A combo.
I meant what about a 408 clevor.
I'm guessing an easy way to lower this, with out effecting any suspension set up, is to just get a new drop spindle, which will easily lower the car, but it should in handle the same?
Awaome videos! I am getting ready to start a 69 mach 1. That TCP looks really nice. What are your thoughts of TCP over a mustang 2 type suspension (maybe rod and custom) and why did you choose TCP? Thanks!
Brian Kueser That's an easy one! Mustang II is old technology that only works a little better than the stock stuff...the TCP kit is actually a grouping of high performance parts that were designed to be easy to install (as you can see in the video) and add TONS of strength and capability to the car! Good luck on your project!!! 69 is my dream Mustang.
autoedit Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I'll have to start documenting it on RUclips when I start... Now to make room in the shop...
rack and pinion with cobra 2 piston sliders should do nicely
Thanks for these videos. I have a 72 fastback and looking into this front suspension. Ur back still has leaf springs? I’m trying to get rid of the wheel having a lot of play. It feels too dangerous at high speeds.
I went with their coil over rear as well and if you get a minute , watch the test drive video I put up last week and you’ll see it all in action!
AutoEdits watched it. Looks like you’re really enjoying that canyon! I’ll call them tomorrow to get a price. Thank u
@@jesco6830 Did you ever get it done? If so would you say it was a massive improvement?
@@Googs5 I got the Aldan American coil over front system. Double adjustable. Big improvement over stock suspension. I am able to make tight turns at high speeds now = fun! And the lowered front looks aggressive!
like to c more updates
Great instructional video. I just installed on my 73 Mach 1 and the sway bar and strut rod seem to be making contact. Chris Alston's strut rod makes contact with the stock sway bar and definitely with the Chris Alston's 1-1/8 sway bar. Anyone know why? Chris Alston's installation manuals mention nothing about this. AutoEdits do you have any guidance?
On this install it was very close at full droop on jack stands but sitting at ride height was good. I ended up using a flap disc to clearance the sway bar the slightest bit to make room but I'm not sure it needed it once the vehicle was sitting on the ground.
@@AutoEdits Flap Disc's? Please advise. Is there a place i can email you the pictures thatI have? I have the
TCP COLVF-10 Front Coil-Over Conversion
@@michaelcavazos8821 An angle grinder with a flap disc with sand paper instead of a stone grinding wheel. That way I can take a very small amount of material off.
@@AutoEdits Thank You
Hi .Considering using TCP front coil overs on my Australian Falcon.Can you give me some feedback on how it performs?My application is performance street driving,and am sick of the old style suspension.Even though it’s all new and aligned well it sucks to drive.Comfort is a factor me too.Cheers
If you watch a few more videos in this series like this ruclips.net/video/qSJ72eAVZFU/видео.html
You'll see that this setup is absolutely phenomenal. Around town, road trips and even the race track. There literally isn't a compromise if you invest in the double adjustable shocks!
@@AutoEdits Thanks.I’ve watched the videos and seen how enthusiastic you are about the kit.My concern was that you are into spirited driving,we’re as I will be mostly street driven.Good to know it works well in all regards.Appreciated,cheers Mike
So now that you have lived with this suspension for 5 years what is your pros and cons and how do you like it now?
Looks great and lots of adjust-ability but sadly I've never driven the car so otherwise... don't know.
Your project looks great, please contact us if you have any cooling solutions questions, we would love to get involved. We are local....in Northridge.
Use a good 4 link in the rear. Please put a rack in the front. And a Coyote under the hood. That would be an awesome stang!!!!!!
What about rear suspension? Front I wanna do VariShock coil overs double adjustable. But what do you recommend for rear suspension? I can only afford to stick with leaf springs
I put this in the rear... ruclips.net/video/_ti3yzvj7fI/видео.html and it handles amazing but the TCP leaf springs and varishocks would be a fantastic option as well.
AutoEdits thank u. Muy have missed that video
I also have a 73 that I just recently got running it was just sitting in my garage and I thought to myself nothing better than starting a project car, I have it running pretty smoothly but I have one problem, when I come to a stop like at a red light or something the tempature seems to rise really fast, but when I'm driving and the car is accelerating , my tempature stays cool and everything is fine any thoughts on what my problem could be?
Those are classic symptoms of an air flow problem . Check that the fan clutch still works. With engine off(no really) spin the blade hard it should at most make one turn. Much more than that and its to loose to drive the fan t low speeds. In theory at about 30mph on a car with an open forward grill there is enough ram air flow to cool the engine. Also check that there is some sort of lip right under the rad. this will prevent air from recirculating when stopped at idle. Air goes thru rad gets heated then gets pulled forward and goes thru again . do the math hot air plus hot air equals over heat..
if it were the other way around cool at low speeds hot at fast that's a water flow problem . Rusted away impeller on the pump, wrong pulley turns it to slow, plug up rad core, collapsing rad hose, T-stat not fully open,ect...
Off-topic question.......who's you're favorite cycling team ?
Couldn't help seeing the TDF on in the background :-)
That was a great day of racing...TDF, Formula 1, Indy Car plus a Global Rally Cross! It was hard to concentrate on just Mustang...to be honest, I don't know much about the current crop of teams but really enjoy the human drama of each stage.
I don't know how things work over in the US, with junkyards and the like... but would it be possible to maybe get a used newer rear axle, from a more modern car with live rear axle? i'd imagine it'd be possible to get a more modern rear axle suspension set up by getting something from a wrecked newer car, it's often front end that is damaged in collision. At least that is something i can do on a budget here.
Great suggestion! This is the rear axle housing I'm planning on getting right now... www.totalcontrolproducts.com/fab9_leafspring.html
autoedit Looks fancy! and solid!
The thought that i had though, was the entire rear end pretty much, of maybe a newer mustang.
Find a wrecked Mustang with front end damage, someone selling parts off one or something, and get rear suspension.
But i also see that Total COntrol ya linked to, sells rear coilover kits as well, so maybe that axle and that kit then? or maybe you can get lucky and find a newer mustang rear cheap?
What do you use for strut braces when installing this kit?
The stock outer braces work and TCP makes a really cool monte carlo bar and strut tower brace system.
definitely rack and pinion, for brakes maybe something like this in the front, it seems decent for calipers up front. If you're trying to replace the master cylinder and all that of course the price would have to be lower but these would fit quite nice I'd think www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitsProdFront.aspx?itemno=140-11073-DR&year=1973&make=Ford&model=Mustang&option=Disc+Brake+Front+Spindle
That does look good!
will this work in a 70 torino
Do an IRS off of a mustang Cobra and as for an engine see if you can get your hands on the supercharged 5.4 they put in the Lightning.
I absolutely love the supercharged 5.4 engine! I did an interview with Caroll Shelby 3 years ago and he said that was his favorite engine from Ford...That was the engine in the Super Snake I got to drive and they boosted it to 750 BHP with stock internals and a warranty!!!
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake - 750 Horsepower ROAD TEST
I love the 99-04 Cobra IRS idea!!!! ....and maybe some junkyard treasure hunting for a DOHC 5.4 engine from a Lincoln Navigator.
How do these bolt on systems work for a 64 1/2 street Mustang? I want a good ride but I also want decent handling.
centerall49 Why yes it does! It is the exact system to accomplish what you want. Stay tuned here and I'll show you how well this car performs in the real world...just give me a few more months to get it running again!
is this the same kit for 70's Maverick?
Yep, give TCP a call or email and they will set you up.
would i be able to install something like this to a 65 Falcon?
Michael Munoz I think so. Check out the website I put into the description and see for sure! I dig the Falcons.
Good day to you. Please tell me the brand of these racks or catalog number. I am from Russia and I want to put such resistant ones myself. I do not know where they can be purchased. If possible, give a link to ebay. For earlier, thank you very much.
Link is in the video description. www.totalcontrolproducts.com
It looked like the strut rod hits the frame?
Travis Cannon That's just because I haven't put the shock tower braces back on which have the bump stops on them.
Rack and stock brakes from a crown vic PI or mustang gt
love the show ......
Are those 4 piston calipers? That sounds like an inexpensive way to go but for how hard I want to use this thing...I wonder if they are stout enough.
on the Crown vic only on the police inter but you do get a bigger rotor but on the gt I think the 2000 yr all have 4 piston plus look into a gt independent rear they bolt into late model fox bodys and should bolt up to your car with few mod. that would give you disk on all for corners look at some of the guys running mustangs in the SCCA in you area they can help you with the tips and tricks to get your car to stop fast and cheap...........
Wish they had something for 64 fairlanes
Are you sure they don't? Have you looked or called?
@@AutoEdits Looks like 66 fairlane and up
Will this setup work on a Maverick?
You Betcha...They have almost all the early Fords and Chevy's covered!
Would you still suggest this system for the car?
Oh heck yes.
@@AutoEdits Do you have a written list of the system you got so that I can duplicate it on my car?
@@lincolnisrael1634 Nope. Just click the link and give them a call and they can set you up.
why not try the Viper engine that you've already got?.. Unless its too much work to get. :)
where can i get this suspension kit?
Here you go www.totalcontrolproducts.com/fcss-fd.html
What was to total price of the front kit ???
There are so many options that it's easier to just go to the Alston website
www.totalcontrolproducts.com/products.html
but the kits retail for about $2600...and for the money...there is nothing else that will change the performance characteristics of the car as dramatically.
I am not sure but it looks like that kit is around $2700 per side. It this correct? If so I can buy a lot of parts, paint, and welding gas for $5400. It looks like TCP is mainly for people with more dollars than cents. That leaves me out.
That is the cost for the entire front kit, not per side.
Check out lee-powersteering.com, they can build your stock steering box to your sepcs. Maybe do 94-04 cobra 13" brake conversion, uses factory parts that are pretty cheap and readily available.

Hi. Do you guys know anything about the Ford Cortina MK3? I have one that i recently converted into V8 and i am struggling with a number of things. Among them is suspension upgrade, diff upgrade and disc brake conversion. If there is anyone that can assist i would really appreciate. Please checkout my channel for a glance of the Cortina.
