I'm getting ready to order one of those master rebuild kits (front end) from American Pony and am thinking of getting new coil springs too. Will front coils from a 70 Mustang fit a 70 Maverick? Thanks.
65mustang swaybar vs. mavericks So, if you say that the springs from a 65-69 mustang will fit all 70-77 mavericks.... do you know if the sway bar will interchange also?
I just bought the 68-70 front coil springs from CJ Pony Parts. They do fit our cars but I had to cut them down because the front of the car was too high.
the mustang front end is wider than the maverick and therefore the sway bar wont fit.. i was wondering about the coil springs myself... i want a stiffer front end,... what coil should i get... someone said a 350 pound?? thanks
I just bought the standard coil off of their web sight for a 6 cyl/small block application. They seem to be firm enough even after cutting them down.
Another thread had a post suggesting 71-73 Stang coils. They are supposed to be the firm ones, and you cut them to adjust your Mav's height. Dave
hey guys i was just reading the mustang coils thread i need a part number for drag springs for small blk,auto 1974 mav my springs (stock) with the 289 allow my frontend to sit over 1.5 inches higher than the back and i dont want use shackles to raise the back i have koni 90/10 in front and have relocated the batt to trunk already i have had drag springs before on brand x cars before i would like to use moroso stuff and not have to cut them my car has steel front end too thanks Barry
I put the sagging, worn out springs from my mustang (69 302) under my mav ( with 351c) and with me jumping up and down on the frame rails... it never moved. They are a little bit firm.
thanks will really looking for drag springs though there must be a spring listing that fits would like to best advantage of front-end transfer and chassis working together hoping for low 12,s in the quarter mile thanks Barry
mav289, I have the Moroso drag springs. I still had to cut them down (at least one coil - can't remember if it was two or not). I don't have a PN but I spoke directly to the people at Moroso when I ordered them. http://www.moroso.com/dealer_finder.asp
70 Mustang spings will fit. I have them on my car. Now I am not sure about ride height, as I do not have a engine in the bay.
The car will sit high in the front. (Ask me how I know this...) Just plan on cutting them after you have the car complete.
