A bit more proof reading and some punctuation would help us understand your question better.

Any 76 - 78 Cyclone or Liquifire suspension is a bolt-in swap.

Newer suspensions have been tried with mixed results.

To add to what 400brian stated, the 76/77 style is the oem setup. The 78 style will be an improvement but would require drilling new mounting holes.
