Your present controls arms are fine. You just need to install the later model ball joints into them. No mods needed to the arms.

You will also need different outer tie rod ends.

Specifically, you want the outer tie rods based on the year of spindle used.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Classic Performance Products has everything you need to use the newer parts. I have 73 model spindles and brakes on my 63.
