RE: Looking at a '67
its a bit of a bitch to convert to 5 lug, depending on your junkyard expertise what you need is to plan on shocks, 9" rear and leafsprings in the back. a proper (new) 9" can be very expensive while leafsprings and shocks are pretty cheap. the rear axle in the 4 lug is 6.5" and is REALLY bad.
What I personally did was put badass front disc brakes on mine and converted the front to 5 lug while doing that. I found it cheapest to pickup 17" bullitt rims from an 04 Mustang GT which fits without a spacer in the back but needs a fairly large one for the front.
The front suspension will need some upgrading to properly hold a V8 but seriously don't plan on more than a 302 in it with the 6'ers front suspension.
