I used a plasma on mine, but the torch set would work as well. And by all means stick with the double wish bones which is more like your original stuff. Struts are for cheapy new cars that are assembled cheap!! The MII set up is quite good and works well. I have the adjustable ride height threaded shocks on mine and they work great. I did add a brace on mine from the firewall to the front of the frame rail. It is a piece of tubing that I use for my wireway also. Keeps the wires hidden. If you get the bolt in panels to close the fender well area with the kit, your front will be quite stiff. Think about extending your sub-frame connectors forward to the reinforced pieces that you weld on the frame rails as a reinforcement. You are going to love all that room under the hood!

If you want easy, those LS motors bolt right into Camaros.

thanks all.......double wish bone set up is what i'm considering......

The MII dbl wishbone IFS stresses the Mustang in ways it isn't designed to be stressed.
which is why I reccomend Unistrut over the M2.  Unistrut fits into the  unibody's monocoque, dosen't require chopping the car up, and is less expensive to install.
All of which is why j-kb's ol'buddy Tubo, reccomends the Unistrut, not cos I'm a fan boy.

Alright that's the second time I've seen that word used in this post.  "Monocoque" I was going to let it slide the first time cuz I was too lazy to look it up, butt(TS) now I'm gonna have to see what the heck that means.

JKB pls don't put no Chevy motor in a Mustang.

PS Damn my heads about to explode
 

JKB!!  DUDE!!  BUDDY O MINE!!!  YELLOWBIRD!!!  you seriously needs to move back to St. Ignace cause that Texas sun is cookin yo brain!!

One thing that sickens me is when I walk up to a really nice Ford at a carshow and see someone muck it up with a Chevy engine and generally they say its cheaper!!  well if you cant afford it DONT DO IT!!  just my opinion!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, it ain't the only way. I dispute my fellow FYI'ers allegation.
It is A way, NOT the only way

IDK how you get to figuring that!?!?  As it is, other than bein Ford Built, Ab-soo-lute-ly Nothing like the origional, from structural engineering, to geometry.
However I do think,"It's real nice your so happy bout the Dbl Wishbone." That just don't mean Everah Body has gots to be. Which is why God caused Ford to make so many Mustangs. So's we can each choose how we want ours to be done.
Anywho and besides which, Pore Ol'Josh iz "tetched in the head", and don't no more foolishness stuffed into hiz noggin. The Rascal has got a surfeit of it, already.

It may be time for the Marine Mustangers to stage an intervention on Josh's behalf. Bowtie engine? Pffft!!!

 The man wants a MII front end with an LS motor, lets get on board with it and give some encouragement, not try to talk him into a different direction.
You said it, there are lots of Mustangs, he can build it how he wants. 
 

Do Y'all remember who we're talking about. j-kb!! the Loki Man.
Like I said ,"He's tetched in the head". , That Rascal will promote something,  just to get a discussion. Like DC done got persuaded into discussin with me.
 I'll bet he ain't even gonna move a shock tower, much less LS anything. BB give'em a warp, up side the gord. NO WAIT!! I fergot j-kb needs to chase some rears fer me,....Plz.
I still need Exploder & 99-04 Stang 8.8's.
