currently doing an early 65 swap- if you want to go to a strut lower a-arm only like a modern mustang do AJE racing k- member - its on summit called COLT65 and is 64-70 mustang. If you are keeping the stock front stuff, you will prob. have to run a front sump pan to clear the crossmember bar and custom mounts. The struts will be very close to the headers but if you did manifolds or tight headers it would prob. work fine. Still working out the details on my build below....
