I have a 1966 mustang and have purchased a 78 mustang as well. I would like to know if it would be possible to use any of the 78 to upgrade the 66 as far as steering,brake system etc. Any help would be appreciated

cowboy; First, if the '66 is in decent shape, I wouldn't do ANY mods. With that said; The '78 has front disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. Most of the '78s didn't come with a V8, so the disc brakes may not be 'enough' for the heavier '66. If the '78 is a V8 car, you still may want to check around for acceptable modifications. There are a ton of Mustang clubs on the internet. The rack and pinion 'could' be done, but why?

The '78 shares almost nothing with a '66.

The 66 should be fine if front end is all perfect. If funny feeling or loose steering the steerng box is adjustable to perfection but you can destroy it if not done right!
