No frames. They are unibody cars. Yes, the Mustang was built off of the Falcon platform, so it is a rebodied Falcon.
edit: unsure of changes made between '61 and '64 to the Falcon.

WAIT!!!
I justed talked to my Falcon Guru. He says 61 is different from 62-63, and that those models are different from 64. He also says the mustang is built off the falcon's design. The mustang is actually wider with shock towers that are appox. 1" wider too. The suspension is obviously a different angle so i am assuming that the suspension is different as well. He's claims proff lies in the fact that you can only put a 351 in a mustang. They won't fit in a Falcon.

The Mustang is more closely related to the Fairlane than the Falcon (size wise).

I've done 6 V-8 conversions and a 351 can fit into an early falcon. Bolts right up just like the 302 but you have to modify the shock towers to get headers in. Actually I prefer the 302.
