While digging thru my barn I found a corvair front end with Camaro discs that never was used. I know these were popular in the day,but I cant see where it is any weaker then the MKII.What R&P would work out?Why not use it?

They were the shit back in the early seventies......had supposedly weak ball joints-some bullshit............etc...I never had any trouble with mine in my model A back then....used a pinto rack in front on them then

I had one in my A when I bought it, it was a piece of shit, didn't steer right, looked hideous........don't use it. I yanked it out and put it back to a good old fashioned I beam, etc. works great. If you MUST go with IFS at least use a M-II setup with some nicely crafted tubular arms, or some such.
