Hey guys, looking for advice here? I am broke as a joke and trying to piece together a 61 falcon two door coupe. Trying to turn it into a V8, I have a 289 I am going to put in it. There is the entire rear end and complete front end for a 1964 Mercury Comet on our local Marketplace for 200 bucks. I?m thinking of pulling the trigger even though the parts are pretty wore down I think it would give me a good Headstart on everything I need to convert the front end over to V8 suspension and could use the rearend too. This would get me five lugs on everything. I know it?d be preferable to have discs upfront but for as little as I drive it I could live with the drums. Opinions and suggestions?  do you guys think the upper and lower control arms would work on my 61? Just have to replace tie rod ends and ball joints to get some fresh new ones. thanks in advance for any help!
