I'm in the process of building a 60 Ranch Wagon. Plans are to make the suspension/drivetrain more modern. I've sourced a Crown Vic front end that I plan to narrow and use a Mustang II rack when complete. This should have a difference of 5" narrower. I also plan on using a Coyote 5.0 motor and manual trans.

I've heard the 60 front suspension won Nascar, however that was 60 years ago. Having to source a disk brake conversion and different springs has me thinking the Crown Vic is better for the money. Plus I can set my ride height super low if wanted.

Any suggestions before going down this rabbit hole?
