Need advice on 70 mustang front suspension with BBF.

I have a 1970 Mustang with (had) 460 in it. Im pulling it out of retirement. I plan on putting my 460 back in it. Only problem I had with it was the front suspension. No power steering on car. The car was really hard to steer with the big motor and I really dont wont power steering on it. Might just notch the shock towers and bear with it. Has anyone ever used coil-overs with a rack on these cars? Like the fox body type set-ups. Im not a big fan of the Mustang ll set-ups. AJE racing has a great set-up but I cant find anyone running one on a early model with a BBF. Any help or pix would be great!

I built my own front suspension using a set of AJE coilover struts from a fox. Give me a day and I'll get some pics as the motor is out right now.

i remember this subject came up before and i think a few posted that the swap over kit,not sure who makes it,sucked.research this on here and you'll find it.

The AJE K-member for the early Fords has been redesigned a few times since it first came out. Each time still having some assorted problems and/or quality control problems. But according to them the current design cures the past issues (and hopefully their quality control is now better than it was).

They should have consulted me first and I could have told them how the set it up.....for a small fee of course.............

Only problem is even with a great component design, you can't force any company's workers to do a hERo quality job if they don't want to/don't care to.

thanks for the pics...HeRo!

just a bunch of homemade crap.........

it may be home made crap!....but it works. I am no sure if i want to keep the foxbody strut set up on th 65 or go with a mustang 2 setup....I want to do away with the shock towers....I am currently using lakewood boat anchors on the front with a 14" spring...I need a shorter strut and a 12" spring

Wow! Very nice set-up.. Thanks for the pictures. Are you running a 460 with a rear sump pan to clear the rack?

custom box style alum pan, rack is in front so no clearance issues there.

How much front travel do you have?
