Hey what’s up everyone!?

I just started a build project on my ’71 Mach 1, I plan to pull out the original 351 Cleveland and give it to my dad and drop a 3rd generation Coyote engine in it with a  matching manual transmission. Does anyone have good suggestions on what suspension I should use for the front end to handle the power?

 
I think the bigger issue is the engine width.  Most of the coyote setups I have seen on a Mustang use some variant of Mustang 2 front suspension to allow hackery of the shock towers.
I have seen a few Cayote swaps at car shows in earlier Mustang and as you say they involve elimination of the shock towers. There are a few systems out there but I have not seen one for 71-73. I am sure that with some fabrication skills something can be adapted. Heck, this weekend I saw a beautiful 69 with a Kaase 600 in it. Without the shock towers there was plenty of space around it.

 
I don't think much, if any surgery to the 71-73 shock towers is required. If it is, it's not much.
