I asked my father in-law about putting the Mustang II setup in his old
Pontiac. It sounds to me like they kept the Pontiac frame and added
just the control arms, etc which were pulled off a junker. The frame
was boxed in and the crossmember was moved (due to the motor I think).
This sounds to me like it would be easier to do than getting all the
body mounts etc. to work with the Mustang frame.
Well, I have seen both subframe swaps and just the suspension swap you
describe. The subframe swap can save a lot of weight and still add strength to a
street rod, and has the added benefit of allowing the front end height to be
changed according to how the subframes are mated. If you have a frame that you are
happy with, and the skill with fabrication and welding (which you BETTER have for
either of these) then just go for the partial.
