It is hard to find lower control arm bushes for the 1961 Plymouth Valiant.

What is involved in upgrading to a 62' Plymouth Valiant front end?

Thanks

You need the entire k frame and steering box, engine mounts, and lower control arms.
Possibly strut rods, and upper control arms, spindles.
Not sure on the steering linkages/ center link/ pitman arms/ idler arms.

The swap will work with any slant 6 k frame in a '66-'62 A body.

Steering column might need swapped as well.

All different between ['60-'61] and ['62-'66].
