I have a 68 XR-7 Cougar that I would love to make as my daily car. What I need to learn to get to this dream is to know all about suspension. I dont want to race with my car but I do want it to have power when I need it. What my boyfriend did was give me a book called "Muscle Car Handle" Now I am trying to cheat. I am no mechanic but I think he is going to try really hard to make me one. Right now we are going to put a 5.0L engine from a 1990 mustag. Can anyone one help? What is a really good suspension without breaking the bank?

Welcome new Cougar owner!

That would be a stock suspension, with new parts. Anything else will break the bank. Inspect your steering box for excess play, while your at it.

Welcome aboard! Lots of info here, check the high performance section. Lots of details on suspensions, brakes and engine swaps.

LOL on the "auto-sanitizing" of "suspension", guessing there is a typo there which caused this (not that I am a stickler for spelling or anything :buck
