nows a perfect time for the granada swap....i did it and love it, however if you want a set of 5 lug drums, you can have mine. pick em up in harrisburg PA or pay to ship em. they are yours. as far as stripping the old off and getting started....plan on ball joints, bushings, shocks and springs as well. also im pretty sure the idler arm and attached stuff is different on the 4 lug also. dont go cheap on brakes...tooo many people build sick motors but wont get half decent brakes

All that info is in the FAQ. Since you already have a V8 in that puppy, you may as well put the V8 suspension on it.

As for a starting point for the removeal, When I did mine I pulled the pitman arm from the steering box. Then the idler arm from the frame and the lower control arm from its mont. After that unbolt the upper ball joint and let it all fall to the ground. All of those points with the exception of the ball joints has to be changed on the 65 66 to put on 5 lug. I did the SSBC disc convertion at the same time it was an easy swap. I got them from Va mustang for $825.00 thats with the duel master cylinder.
