will this work

[Avery08]

I have a car with a 103" wheelbase,54" width wheel mating surface to wheel mating surface,mustang II front suspension,and 17"x8" wheels with 4.5" backspacing,total weight of 2500 pounds.
I would like to use syclone/typhoon front spindles on it as i'm convertig the car to awd.I would like to use new a-arms that combined with the syclone/typhoon spindles would give me a total width of 60" wheel mating surface to wheel mating surface.
I think but am not sure that i could ream the awd spindle to take mustang II balljoints.If that's not possible i'm hoping i can find a-arms that give me the overall 60" width i'm looking for,bolt to the mustang !! crossmember and the awd spindle.
I realize that the geometry of the mustang II setup is less then perfect but i feel like the longer a-arms would help not hurt.Any help appreciated.

Having thought about this i'm open to suggestions on what "you" would do given the specs on this car,the need to run the gm transfer case,and the fact that it already has the mustang II crossmember installed and is a complete car.I have limited time to work on it inside the shop as we are full.I'd rather not have to remove this crossmember if i can modify it.I have 27" total between the front frame rails.If i seem anxious i am lol.....

yes!

That's encouraging coming from someone that does fabrication work.Do you know of any a-arms that i might be able to use?I've thought about getting a set of tubular a arms for the mustang II crossmember and extending them.I believe i could use the top bj out of a 1/2 gm truck as it bolts in.I'd still be left with what to do for a bottom bj.I initially planned to bore the bottom of the spindle to take the mustang II bj but after some reading i think the gm spindle takes a larger diameter bj then the mustang II.
We have the means to do some decent machine work.We have a mill and a lathe.
Thanks again for the encouragement.

your dealing with a 4wd S10 spindle so your measurements really need to be drawn from just such a vehicle as your going to need to match mounting points and then you can use the measurementd from them to delineate mounting points.
Watch your mounting pointsas your going to need different alignment specs overthe Ty/Sy set.
In all actuallity the MII front end geometry is very uncondusive to performance compared to others.
If I had my druthers I would actually lean towards the 2wd control arm mounting points, and use the bolt in lower and upper ball joints and use air craft grade 12 point fasteners.
Your also going to find the MII ball joints fall into the Sy/Ty spindles.
Good Luck.

I'm using those 4WD spindles in the rear of a project I'm building. I just checked the stock Mustang II uprights I have and the S-10 lower ball joint is a little bit larger and the Mustang II upper ball joint is a little larger. Clear as mud? So you may have to find a lower ball joint with the larger S-10 taper and can have the upper ball joint taper reamed larger for the Mustang upper ball joint. Speedway sells the reamers but race shops should be able do do it for you. Probably provide the solution for the correct ball joints. Do you have the A arms with the screw in type? I know speedway sell several sizes of the screw in type. Forgot to mention, the 4WD spindle lower ball joint goes in from the top, not the bottom.
