Does anyone have any experience using mustang front suspension parts on an AMX?

Unfortunately, although they have similar configurations, the AMX is not cross platform compatible with the Mustang.

The Control Freaks K-Member uses the Wilwood Pro-Spindle which is a modified Mustang II. The suspension on Jimi's car was all custom built and features a modified aftermarket Camaro front sub.

If you really want it to handle like a modern car it is going to take some special attention. The Street Machine crossmember system would be a viable option. There are two different spindle options; traditional steel or billet with unit bearing.
