samwe, how do you like the way your Mustang II conversion handles? You seem to be the only one who has one on the road. What type of driving do you typically do, street, track, twisty road, combination? Anthing negative the mustang II suspension does that the stock did better? Sorry for all the questions, I am in the beginning stages and would like to know if it is worth it to continue. Thanks for any answers and any updated pictures.

Just bumping it up. If anyone else has a mustang II conversion they are driving I would like to hear from you also.

I drive completely street, well up until I got hit list year...
As far as I can tell it handles fine. at the track, maybe it won't be up to par, I don't know.
We went out of our way to get the engine down and back. The MII is bad in that regard.
The steeering is tight and responsive. That and the engine room clearance were the two biggest wins for the conversion
Also, the entire front end of mine was cut off and we built a new fraem out of stiffer steel tubing. That effects things too. The stock frame is not stiff at all.
