the only thing I see bad on the car you have is the rack you have in it, it only fits that year, but still good if there is no slack in it and boots are good, 71 and 72 are the same and you can buy those cheep from flaming river, much to put on in yours , car is light enoughyou do not need power steering , as for ride and ride hight , you have to complete the car , knowing your going to put in the EFI 2.3 it might pick a few pounds , since I going to send you box of stuff to stuff in the engine I will send you some springs out of a 77 wagon is have , 74 up pinto/mustang two front springs are a tad bit taller , same dimeter , so you might have to get your guys (after the car is compleat and running ) install and check hight, cut down a tad until your happy with the right height ,
