those cars are unibodys, would be hard to do with a framed car

DR, being new here is not a disadvantage. If any members reading your thread had experience in what you are asking, they would jump right in and help you out with an answer.
I'm assuming the Mustang has a strut front end. If so, I've never seen that design used in a hot rod. There are probably good reasons for that.

Good luck on your project and keep us in the loop.

Probably way to much work to be done correctly. There are much easier options and in the long run less expensive. Like a Mustang II front suspension or GM F body front clip.

50 FORD/S-10 FRONT CLIP HOW ITS DONE

Yes, I know its not a Mustang....

The Mustang II is a tried and true system. I haven't heard of anyone using a Mustang suspension like the one you're talking about, but I suppose anything can be done if you try hard enough. By why waste money and time on something that may not work. I'm sure no one got on here because they haven't done this swap or know anybody who has. Good luck with whatever you do!........CR

I've never looked into it but it sounds very dificult at best.

The top joint on the McPherson strut is just below the hood on the Mustang, nothing substantial up there on the old Ford to tie it in to. Could be done, but it would be some kinda ugly!
