Returning to the Pinto world

74/80 Pinto / Mustang II brakes can be made to fit, but with much work. Search on here as I think someone had a post about it in the past.

I'm curious if the Granada swap will work on the '71 spindles. Are the spindles themselves the same dimensions? If the Granada rotors will bolt on, I can build my own caliper brackets.
Or perhaps changing to the later cross member and using Mustang 2 front suspension and brakes. If I go that route, should I use one of the aftermarket cross members or modify an original late model Pinto cross member to fit the earlier frame rails?
I've thought about building a full frame from Alston or S&W race cars, but I really want to drive it on the street. If I go that far, it'll end up as a race car.
I really want a Pro-Touring type of car. Power, comfort, handling and style!

I have never heard of anyone doing a 74 / 80 cross member swap into an early Pinto. There's always a first and that would give you better brakes and steering rack. Lots of work, but I think you are up to it. If you go this way, keep us informed along the way. Good luck but just remember that a 74/80 Pinto would fix all.
