Title: 86 capri K member in an 87 bird
Post by: bigbada1 on January 02, 2010, 09:02:38 AM
OK i know that I will have to lengthen the rear mounting holse in the stang kmember and I will also have to make a spacer for front mount on the stang kmember. My question is can I take the whole K-member and suspension and swap them from the stang to the bird or will I have to swap the a arms and spindles. In a nut shell can I simply just pull the stang k-member with everything attached spindles and all and put it in my bird.

yes, but the track width will be a little narrower. something like 3/4" per side. the struts will be approx 1" too short also. (if using the Capri ones)
