V8 spindles

[Mike66]

where can i get some V8 spindles for my 66 inline 6 mustang? im going to be doing the conversion and i cant seem to find anything out there.

you can use the spindles from a 67-69 mustang if you like, or even get a set from a 70-73 mustang though you might have to change the tie rod ends to use these.

Yeah, but since your shopping, you'll be better off with the original 64-66 V8 spindles, which have the exact correct steering arm angle and turn stop location.

Correct.

The 67 68 69 Spindles are different than the 65 66. They have different steering arm lengths, Different tie rod taper, and as stated, different stops.

You can use the 67 68 69 C6OA spindle, but expect to do some Hot Rodding to get all to work.

I'm pretty sure I have a set lying around, without hubs though. they have the tie rod holes reamed out (correct taper) to fit Granada tie rod ends as well. Just need to find them if your interested.

not too worried about the hubs. i have the unisteer R&P, will those tie rod ends fit?

If unisteer's tie rod ends are the same as stock then it probably won't work. The Granada ends have the same taper but a larger diameter, top & bottom. They won't even fit through the stock holes....

Does anyone have a set of spindles laying around that they can measure?

I am looking for the height of the spindle snout relative to the lower ball joint. The overall height of the spindle and the KPI.

thanks
