Re: 64 ranchero spindles
I know on some of Falcon platforms, the front spindles are a larger diameter on V8's.

Re: 64 ranchero spindles
Use 63-66 falcon v8 or 65-66 mustang v8 spindles. Also, you can use granada/monarch spindles, however the steering arm angle is just different enough that you can end up with bump steer. The ball joints are the same v8 to 6, the tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm and center link are different
The 8" rearend on the same year falcons and mustangs will bolt in. 57-59 big ford 9" housings will work if you can find one. Also a "k" code 65-66 mustang 9", but it will cost more than the rancho is worth. The oe 6 cyl. rearend won't stand much abuse. Last edited by craig; 12-20-2013 at 06:46 PM. Reason: add more |
