Mark, this information has been covered in scores of post on this board. The information remains the same with ever posting:

All parts used on the 64-66 Mustang V-8 front end EXCEPT the centerlink are a direct interchange to the 65 Falcon.

You will need the correct 65 Falcon V-8 centerlink because the Mustang's is too long for a Falcon. The correct part can be obtained through vendors listed/displaying on this board.

Depending on the diameter of the output shaft on your steering box you may have to replace it if you can not find a steering arm, they are out there.

If they weren't mentioned then they don't fit...

Late model Mustangs have a completely different design front end. noting in common with early Falcons or Mustangs.

I am also trying to convert my 65 falcon to 5 lug. I bought a 1973 comet parts car for drivetrain and was wondering if the spindles would fit? Im pretty shure they are the same as the granada but looking for a second answer just to be shure.

The spindles are the same between Maverick/Comet and Granada.
