67's got the same crappy suspension the 65-66's had. 4 lug wheels, brakes, the whole 9 yards. About the easiest way to go about it is to buy a complete front end kit then go find a late 70's Granada, Monarch or Lincoln Versailles for the brakes and rear end.rbohm said:the good news is that a six to eight swap is easier with a 67-70 car than with a 66 and earlier car as you dont have to change spindles. however you still need to change transmission, rear end, driveshaft, springs, radiator, hoses, linkage, wiring, etc. the job isnt hard, but is long and involved. better would be to hop up the six, and have some fun with that motor instead.
That is not true. 67 suspension is interchangable with 68 if you don't mix and match lca and strut rod. From what I have read all 67 spindles are the same, 6 or 8, disc or drum. 67 did have the same steering box as the 65-66, but I'm not sure anything else is the sameD.Hearne said:67's got the same crappy suspension the 65-66's had. 4 lug wheels, brakes, the whole 9 yards.

If you want a sat night cruiser keep the 6 in there and smack a turbo on there. You still will want to replace the springs and rebuild the brakes anyway. I got my I6 with only needing new 1/4 because I knew there is bondo in there and everything else is great. I also knew I would be switching everything else out anyway. Its really not that hard just make sure you get what you want first so your not re-buying things. I bought a 8" then decided I wanted a 9.
A list of things that will be switched on the swap:
engine
tranny
driveshaft
rear (if your going to get one might as well get a 9 not much more $)
front spindles (several sell new ones, even with disc brakes)
radiator
suspension (springs, shocks (probably need these anyway))
wheels (going from 4 lug to 5 lug)
The spindles may be the same but for sure, the rear end's not going to be an 8 inch. And the steering box was changed somewhere in the middle of the model year. My 67 had the later style rag joint in the shaft.brianj5600 said:That is not true. 67 suspension is interchangable with 68 if you don't mix and match lca and strut rod.
