You'll need to get rid of your shock towers (no way you'll fit anything like that in between them). Your best suggestion would be to go to:
and get the Mustang II front suspension (you can get the rack and pinion steering too). Other than that, you may need to do some tranny tunnel modifying, i don't think that the bellhousing will fit in as-is.
Basically, it'd be a LOT of work, but it would be worth it....Mavericks weigh a LOT less than the Mach1's.
One last note...Mavericks have trouble getting traction as is....you'll need some sort of traction aide.
