I'm thinking not since the 67 has a different style center link A-amrs and such. You might be able to get the spindles to work. I got granada spindles on mine and it works fine. Give mustangsplus a call and ask them.

No. I tried it once when I was trying to upgrade the 4-lug setup on my '66. If you use '67 and later spindles, you need to use the tie-rod ends from '67 and later too. The diameter of the stud is different between the two.

Nope. Everything is just different enough it won't work.

65-66 has smaller tie rod cones, the p/s and manual tie rods are also differ. the p/s steering ram for 65/66 and 67/68 is totally diff.
lower control arms differ since 65/66 used shims to align camber where 67 and later use eccentrics on the lower control arm. i dont remember about the upper. the spindles also differ such as the bearings, holes for tierods since the cones are larger, and brake set ups. 65/66 mainly had drums with small bearings but the kel/hays brake conversion kit will fit up to 67 because the knuckles are near identical. the steering gear boxes are interchangeable.
what exactly are you trying to do?
the hands down best low cost kit for the 65/66 is to stay with the stock components and use the shelby drop with parts from orp. ive been trying to get my 66 done for years now and just did paint and will be using orp parts. ive looked at everything from mustang II to martz to misc k member kits and even the cpp mini subframe kit. i just saw it as im im out of town in the boonies with the car which kit can i buy a part for to make it home.
