Differences Between 70-71 Torino and Cyclone

I think we can all agree that both the Ford Torino and Mercury Cyclone are unique and truly great cars.  I won't enter into the debate about which one is better.  I will try to outline the differences in the parts to help those Cyclone enthusiasts better understand the parts interchange.

The Mercury Cyclone is essentially a performance version of the Mercury Montego.  The Montego is closest to the 2 door formal roof Torino.
