Mustang II suspension on an LBC ?

[ag1234]

Not saying you should BUT maybe worth a look ?  Is it worth sll the work ?  Do you want up to 13" disk and Corvette stye C7 hubs ?
   All these crossmembers and aftermarket componets are so cheap now, nod to China. All well and fine but what about geometry ?
   Plenty of DIY videos on how to install. Precious little about anti-dive, roll-caster gain, correct  Ackerman or trailing the upper/lower
   for improved ride quality. It's easier to make arm pivots,.parallel to chassis centerline but not best for ride smootness

Any front steer cars out there?  What is your Akerman ? Mustang II appears to be about 100%, anti-Akerman,(steering arm centerline, front/back, aligns with King pin/ ball joints centerline). This means excessive tire scrub in turns and poor turn-in properties.
   It appears difficult to achieve full Akerman with a 13" rotor.                                                                                        
                                                                                                           Let's not drift in the wrong direction, Art.

I got the impression Mut2 was a get-it-done suspension for the engine swap crowd, where the emphasis was on the engine and maybe strength, not necessarily making the car handle differently/better.

I went with (narrowed) Miata, since they've got a great handling reputation, and I didn't want to fab the whole thing from scratch. While I'd enjoy the deep dive into vehicle kinematics, I've got enough going on not to want to add that rabbit hole to my project.

Mainly for street rods & such.

Obviously not as sophisticated as lbc front suspensions ?  Am I smelling something from behind the Mustang ?

The MGB front suspension is quite good, even by today's standards.

What they call Mustang II front suspension these days is an evolution sharing no parts of the original design.

I suggest  the M2 suspension is not just for engine swaps and so/so handling.  It is based on sound design principles that only got
   better with aftermarket upgrades. Bang for buck is hard to dispute. Ordering the cross member of correct width for your frame rails
   is a good start. Multiple spindles will work, using a front steer, manual or power rack. You will need to get all the geometries right.
   Ackerman, anti-dive, scrub radius, roll caster gain and minimum bump-steer. May not be a good fit for MGB's but there are many
   others, it might.
