My plan is to remove the shock towers and suspension mounts, steering box and column and install a M2 front suspension, a slightly warmed over 302 backed by a 5-spd with a narrowed 8.8 posi rear with 3:25 gears. Also an Ididit steering column.

Ok, got this figured out. Found a company that sells the blueprints for the M 2 crossmember with detailed installation and set up instructions, 16 bucks. I’ll build my own. Something that just occurred to me though, after the shock towers are cut out and plated, what is done with the export...

M2 What if my frame rails are wider or narrower than the crossmember ? Add a piece or take a piece out of the crossmember ? Then the rack wouldn’t fit.

I don’t think I understand ride height, I have no idea how much the suspension will squash when the engine is installed, since I’ll be starting with bare frame rails, I see no way to determine that. I have no idea how high the tail will be after putting in stiffer spring leafs or air shocks, I...

I tried getting the secure one, it tells me that server cannot be found

Ok, I’m about done with this forum, I have to login to post or reply, so I do that and it welcomes me by name. Then I spend 20 minutes pecking out a reply to something and when I hit submit reply, it tells me I’m not logged in. AND while I’m logging in again it erases the damn reply that took me...

Anyone know if there’s any instructions or articles out there that describes step by step how to install a M-2 front end that’s been cut out of another car ? The reason I ask is because I have a Thames with a M-2 front end with all new parts. I’ve decided to go the gasser route with the Thames...

Just picked up a 62 Falcon, anyone out there know if anyone makes engine swap mounts to put a 350 Chevy engine into the Falcon ? Early mustang would be the same.

My old 88 s-10 had a throttle body injection and hei with the separate coil. Would it be possible to cobble this onto an old Buick v-6 ? What all would I need to strip off the s-10 ?

I have an electric radiator fan on my willys, wired key hot, but I’d like to wire it automatic. I know that I need a temp sensor, and a relay, but the problem I’m having is getting the right parts, when I go to the parts store they insist on having the vehicle application, since a 59 willys...

Handiwork Hey Mac, did you get the description of the grill insert ?

I’ve typed a long detailed answer to Macs questions 5 stinking times and every time I hit submit it tells me I have to login. I already am, otherwise I couldn’t answer a post. ! Anyway I login again and everything I typed disappears !!

I’m having trouble posting

Yeah, at least I got awhile to think about it, can’t get it into my garage just yet. The m-2 suspension was one of the selling points for me, but if I have to, I’ll put it on a modified mini truck chassis, that 2wd Chevy tracker I got is looking better and better.

It’s hard to tell about the welding, it’s been ground and painted, but you can see that the width of the stang subframe didn’t match the Thames, see the step ? Doesn’t the crossmember have to be at a certain angle in relation to the rest of the chassis to maintain the proper camber, or is it...

Just to be clear, I did not take any of those photos, they came with the car.

They’re all of the same installation as it progressed, just from different angles and sides. The builder died in 2013, I bought it from his widow so the only info I have is a stack of receipts, photos, and the vehicle. And yes, I have a whole shop full of tools and equipment as well as a pretty...

Just got a 58 Thames, posted on “builds”, Got a stack of built pix with it and there were 10 pix of the Mustang 2 front suspension installation which I’m posting here. It’s the first 2 that really gives me pause cause it looks like they just chopped a crossmember out of a stang complete with a...

I guess somebody didn’t like the skull hood ornament.

If you could fit ! I’m 5’8” 140 lbs an I was all knees an elbows. I traded it 6 yrs ago and it went through a few different owners, then turned up at the Bloomsburg national last year for sale at 24 K.
