− | I am building my first hot rod from a 1936 | + | I am building my first hot rod from a 1936 plymouth coupe. I have a chevy 350 engine and 350 turbo trans already. I need help on the front and rear end.Someone told me that I could use the "all aluminum" front end from a late model crown victoria. I got one from a 2003 and of course it was too wide. I have cut 6 inches from the cross member to make it the right width. |
+ | Now I hear that I should have gotten a front and raer from a camaro or firebird. If I go with that for the rear , I'll have ford front and GM rear. SHOULD I START ALL OVER? Is there a for rearend that you recommend ? Any help would be appreciated | ||

− | He has checked out | + | My son has a 36 PLymouth coupe and has a mustang II front suspension for it. Mustang II have better geometry than than firebird- camero,, He has checked out couple cars that have the M II and says they look easy using the stock M II crosmember and aftermarked strut brackets welded to the frame. The curve in the plymouth frame drops it enough so you don't need dropped spindles. for the Rear we have a Lincoln Mark 8.8 disk -posi setting under it . the fit was good, just clean off the factory brackets and weld on the spring mounting pads. If you want to go a little narrower late 80's mustang 8.8 with Ranger 5 bolt axles and the lincoln disc brakes. all bolt on with the right factory pieces ..the front will get granada 11' rotors and either gm or ford calipers. 20xx mustang gt calipers are also supposed to be an easy swap. PS that Plymouth tube axle is worth all most as much as a bone yard Mustand II setup. |
