Post 1987 suspension will it fit a 1967 mustang

I have a 87 mustang and a 1967 fastback. What I am wanting to know is can i use my 87 suspension on my 67 fastback. Also how hard would it be to put use my 87 fuel injected engine into my 67.

Re: 1987 suspension will it fit a 1967 mustang

If you are good at fabricating it can be done but it is NOT by any means a bolt in.
As for how hard it is to install an EFI engine into your car really depends on how skilled you are. Sort of an opened ended question really.
Bolting the motor is the easiest part. You'll need to put in a new fuel line and add a return line and an electric fuel pump. The wiring is not too difficult to do if you retain the entire EEC/EFI harness.

Welcome to the board BTW!

The 87 suspension would be a waste of time, the stock 67 mustang suspensions can be made to handle very well. You have to replace all of the wear parts, also you should consider the shelby a arm drop. The engine swap is a good idea of you want a fuel injected engine. You can find many places that go through the entie swap. Try looking through the articles here, or on google.
