Are the front K members in these particular cars the same? If I remember correctly they are, but the A-arms are different because the Cougar/Thunderbird track is wider. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I am wondering because I may be picking up a V6 Cougar and want to know what, if anything, I'll need to change if I go the minimalist route and swap over just the motor from a 5.0 Capri. Also, I can't remember if the K-member for the Turbo-4, V8, and 3.8L V6 are same with different engine mounts, and the different K-member is the one for the 3.3L I6 or how exactly that all goes. I should have paid better attention to all those threads that I can't find now.
I'd really like to be different and begin making it into a dedicated track car, by going with a 5.0, changing the front suspension over to a tubular K-member, tubular A-arms, coil-overs, SN95 5-lug conversion, and Cobra brakes, and on and on... How possible is this?
