differance in frames

I am toying with the idea of taking a 66 frame put a mustang 2 suspension on it with a rack and pinion steering, rigging dics brakes all around getting a rolling chasis in place and then droping everything from my 62 onto it.

Or am I just crazy?

Just put a MII under the 62 frame.

A lot less work as the 62 and 66 frame is worlds apart.

Have you thought about the Crown vic swap?

I can get them in my area for $350-$400. It has larger brakes, R+P steering, and was designed for a car weighing 4500 pounds. Or roughly 1000 pounds more then a F100.
