OK guys here goes...
The reasons for going Mustang II "STYLE" suspension.

1) Ground clearance
2) Easy
3) Aftermarket parts (ie Big brakes, Quality A arms, etc.).
4) Tried and true. Streetrodders have been doing this for years. Bumpsteer on these things have been worked out many years ago.
5) Strength. Even if you were to use the Mustang crossmember, it was designed the have a F@rd small block or a realatively heavy 4 cyl right above the crossmember. A arms are quality tubular. If you heard they were weak, you heard wrong. Besides,It's just a Mustang II STYLE but it's much beefier
6) Looks. Clean, clean, clean.
