Nope. The M2 is an entirely different setup.

Are you talking about the original Mustang II front suspension? If so, it wouldn't work on a 68 Mustang without significant modification. The major obstacles would be the difference in spread of the frame rails and the struts which shoot back towards the rear of the car on a stock Mustang II.

There are some that look nice. I've been wondering too. 2 people have said no, but I'm not sure either has ever measured to see. Most people that are looking to improve handling redrill the uca location anyway, so it would not be a big deal to change the width as well as lowering them. They come in different lengths and with screw in ball joints. And are affordable. I wish I had a suspension program to see how they would work. What would you do about the lca and spring/shock set up?

the mII arms bolt to the frame top to bottom where our arms bolt to the side it would never work right
plus there isnt a place to mount the spring

what josh said, plus the fact that the geometry would be all wrong as the mustang ll upper arms are much shorter than the early mustang upper arms.
