im looking for a front clip for the 63 wagon, i noticed that some say its a must. II front end. what does that mean, any disadvantages or advantages, how bout parts that are available and interchangable??? i know some of the major brands and have heard good and bad. also take into consideration i want to keep a stock column unless i can find a good deal, so mounting locations and options would need to be reviewed.

these are my plans,
im leaning towards the ls1 engine swap(for sure)
i want to get some airbags under it for a nice stance but am not sure yet but want to get a clip that has them availalbe.
the whole front end suspension is shot so i wouldn't mind getting it all but it does get pricey. from front brakes,manual rack,uppers and lower arms, the whole shibang!!!!!!! any help would be great if u know anything or have experienced it.. like everyone else i want this to be as headach free as possible but we all know how that goes.thanks in advanced leroy

This is a Mustang ll

Many Nova front clips are designed to use suspension components from these cars. I have a Heidt's weld in crossmember in my 64 and I actually used almost all stock components from a '78 Mustang ll in the wrecking yard. Even the aftermarket parts are mostly designed to replace the stock 74-78 mustang ll oem parts.

so parts are pretty easy to find for the must. II even with the 4 year production line of this car????

Pinto parts of the same era can also be used. All of the parts are reproduced in the aftermarket and are easy to get new. I was living in California when I converted mine and was able to find used parts pretty easily. In the "rust belt" you may have to use new parts.
