The MustangII/Pinto frontend is the one from the 70's car, not the one use in the Factory Five. The unit itself is really flimsy stamped steel and it is very limited in its movement because it uses a radius rod to brace the front spindle. Today you can get a tubular A-arm set up with good geometry and movement that will mount to the same mounting points as the Mustang II/ Pinto unit. And let the good times roll.
